Tips for Homemakers

Started reading this book.  She says "If you are in need of immediate help, skip to the appendix" which I am and so I did.  Two tips that have been very helpful:

#1) Force yourself to smile.  It is hard to talk rude or be unpleasant to your children if you are smiling, so force yourself to smile when you talk to them.
#2) Cut up produce.  For kids that are constantly hungry and wanting food, nothing is easier than simply cutting up fruit or vegetables and serving it on a plate.
