1950's woman

The 1950's woman had alot of problems to face and only half the technology to get things done with. However there's a certain something about them that alot of women are trying to bring back.
It's called being "HOUSE PROUD"!

For the last few months I've tried to emulate some of the ideals of the stereotypical 1950's housewife. 
Ideals such as: That a good home is a clean one, a proud husband will try to make you proud also, children love to help you do things and are happier for being involved (even if it takes twice as long) & take time on your appearance - even if its just for around the house!
After reading alot of blogs, articles and excerpts from old books, I determined what I wanted to do - and failed miserably! I have now come to the conclusion that I tried to make too many changes at once. I am now ready to try again with a smaller start. 

My goals are: Don't sit down until you have done the dishes, tidied up, finished a load of washing & spent some time with the children. Do one big job a day. Greet hubby when he comes home from work as if he's been away for a week (big smiles, a hug and a kiss & spend a few minutes asking about his day). Make sure the kids get some "outside time" (something that wears the excess energy down) every day. Each child has a chore they must help you with (even if they have other chores of their own). Spend some time playing a game of their choice.
Dress in something that makes you feel pretty every day. Take the time to tidy yourself up before hubby comes home. Wear makeup (even if its just lippy & mascara) when you leave the house. Spend time reminding yourself of what it is you want to accomplish but don't sweat the small stuff.  Oh - and make time for friends & family (whether you visit them, they visit you or you meet them somewhere)!
I'll let you know how I go. :D
