CLEANING TIPS WANTED!
Yes I am a wife who is no longer home all day but I still want my house to be clean at all times. While I was working i would gaze into people homes and see how immaculately clean their homes were!

Good Evening my housewives and non housewives!
When I started this blog I was unemployed and a full time housewife with nothing to do. Today I have a full time job that I was treating as a part time job because I was so focused on being a "Housewife." I had to realize that I can do both, work a full time job and and take care of my house. Now when I speak of house I do not just mean cleaning and cooking. There is quality time that is need to be spent with my husband. I mean we do not need to spend every waking moment together but it is nice to have dinner talk about the day and watch the Bulls play...Like we are doing now (lol) but this is life. Some people feel like when you get married your life is over and becomes boring, but life is what you make it. Our life is not boring but during the week and when we work weekends this what we do.
Now back to working, it has been challenging because I have not been feeling encouraged or inspired. Yesterday I had a very inspiring conversation with my husband and my therapist. No job is stress free and with every job there is going to be something you don't like about it and make you want to look for a new career. Yes I know, common sense right, I have been told that I am from the "Show Me" state and I must say that my mother was right. I need to experience things for myself in order to understand them. Yes I listen to people when they tell me things but I still just want to see them for myself. I have been trying not to be that way, but hey, I am Courtney Alyse (Billingslea) Wood, the only person I have ever known to be. Hardheaded, stubborn, emotional and did I mention hardheaded. That also goes back to being a wife, I have heard so many things about marriage, some bad some good.
When I got married I thought nothing but positive things, marriage was good, positive, enjoyable, everyday will be happy. Yes you can say I was naive, but who isn't. It was not until I encountered a snake that I started to think negative things about marriage, but that is an entirely different story. Recently I have been trying to get back to that positive aspect of my life, only thing is it is hard once you allow that negativity to invade your space. I have started to laugh more and appreciate what I have and what god has given to me and I know this blog may seem like a bunch of jumbled words just thrown on the screen but they needed to be said and somebody reading needed to hear this. So until next time!

A year and a half later.
Hello my lovely Housewives!
As we know being a house wife can be stressful, exciting, enjoyable and make you want to run for the hills all in the same day. Over this last year and a half I have experienced all of those emotions and some but what I have learned how to do was keep my house clean. Funny right? Yes I know, but this is something that I really had to work on within myself to do this constantly and consistently. It was not easy but I made it happen. As a housewife sometimes we get distracted very easy because we have so many ideas and things that we want to do that we sometimes do not know where to start. For example, when my house is dirty I want to clean everything at the same time. If there is something that goes in kitchen and the kitchen is dirty, I automatically want to start cleaning the kitchen when I know I need to finish the living room. So I came up with a method for my wondering mind. Start in one room and don't leave that room for anything.
