If everybody knows where everything is kept you can avoid wasting time looking for things.
If you are a housewife, take pride in that.
It's cool to have a well run, comfortable and inviting home.
Knowing that you're the one who's been rejected, God it makes you feel isolated. I defy anybody not to be a bit upset. I felt as though I'd walked into the house trailing all this baggage.
Rearranging furniture, adding some candles, or making even small tweaks can really make the difference.
Run a home like you would a small business and treat it with the same seriousness.
Storage is important. Whether it's cushions you only use outside in the summer, or blankets that only come out in the winter, you've always got to think of where to store them.
The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.
A proper family diary with everyone's events and parties in it really helps organise the household.
