I'm also a rookie at making things. I would love to make some of Waverly's clothes or accessories, but alas, besides the basis sewing pattern and cross-stitch, I have no aptitude for sewing or altering.
When it comes to cooking, I'm lucky to punch out three meals a week. It's really not my favorite thing to do and planning meals for a week or two exhausts me just to think about it.
I keep wishing, hoping, and praying that I will stumble upon some untapped skill or ability that will completely transform the way we live. I haven't quite found it yet, but I will tell you that I know how to keep a house clean, maybe not tidy, but clean, thanks to my "chore chart". Look, I hated to stoop to that level for two adults, but nothing was getting done and goodness knows I don't have a lot of time to clean the whole house in one felled swoop. So, I resorted to this chore chart: one big task and two little tasks each day, six days a week. My house is cleaned every single week and I love it. When the tub is dirty, momma isn't happy, and when momma isn't happy, nobody's happy.
