50's Housewife For A Day


I dont know if its because of my nesting stage or what but yesterday was definetly the first for me. I woke up at 6 in the morning and started cleaning. Just doing the dishes and laundry. My son wasnt up yet so I decided to go back to sleep after I had finish. It was 9 and he still wasnt up so I decided to make breakfast. Then took him to the park. It was fun but REALLY windy. Decided to come home and make dinner. I was looking through an old recipe book my mom had and came across the meatloaf she used to make. I was intrigued and it didnt seem that hard to make. Which came out to be true. As a side I made mashed potatoes with brown gravy. For the first time ever I had made something like my mother! It tasted soooooooooooo good. I really wanted to bake a cake but didnt have mix or enough ingredients to make from scratch. Oh well. I have to give it up to those mothers from the 50's. Its not as easy as it seems.

  2. When my son was younger I too would wake up before him to get stuff done around the house. Now I wake up with him and get things done when he naps or after he goes to sleep.

    The food looks great!
