The secret to my clean house? My sparkling dishwasher and coffee machine, freshly washed bedding, clean refrigerator, lint-free floors? “Little House on the Prairie.”
Two friends stopped by on Saturday to witness my trick. Whenever I have some tasks to do which are not my favorites, I just put an episode on and remind myself that the appliances are doing the work, I’m just getting things rolling. I wonder what my prairie home of the 1800’s would have looked like?
Sometimes I intentionally make the job harder, just to keep myself in shape. Minor example – I don’t use an electric can opener. I try to keep my hands limber for piano duties! Of course, the same is true for opening a bottle of wine. I use the old-fashioned method and usually dismember the cork.
Just having that show running in the background is encouragement enough to accomplish household tasks. Thank you, Laura Ingalls Wilder. Time to hitch the team and head to town for some supplies!
I love this hack – sort of Beverly Hillbillies in reverse😉
