Walmart changed coupon policy      (TraditionalWives)

Just in case you do the coupons. Inb4 its all shit food. I get it but some people still use coupons

Thanks to Squirrel Tribe for alerting us to the oncoming scams walmart will be implementing soon in the name of "coupon didn't scan" ok. I'm so sure.

Also getting rid of overages applying to rest of transaction.

Hey, but if this new policy kinda screws you, remember you can always sell your kids to the government for foodstamps. Walmart nor any other store will ever give you a hassle over using those. They prove your allegiance to the state. Good citizen.

Is there an add-on available or an app anywhere that allows you to jump to the recipe instead of having to scroll down on a persons blog for what seems like an eternity before finally getting to it?

I've seen the feature on some websites before just wished it was available on all of them.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or tips regarding this small annoyance.

It's the little things     (TraditionalWives)

Every once in a while I'll want to bring my husband some extra cheer so I'll do little things like sew together a tiny stuffed animal and put it in front of his water glass to discover when he gets home. Or, I'll surprise him by patching the thinning elbow of his nightshirt or hang a charming framed print of mallards to brighten a room. Stuff like that.

He works hard and deals with a lot of nonsense to keep us in shampoo as they say and it makes me happy to take care of the nest so he doesn't have to lift a finger when he gets home and to show how much I appreciate him with tiny actions like I wrote above.

Take care of your sweeties and let them know how much you treasure them!

How to make homemade liquid laundry detergent on a budget with Zote soap.     (yewtu.be)

Affordable method for making your own laundry detergent. The comment about making a powdered version is excellent but the lady who wrote it doesn't know about paragraphs so read at your own discretion. :)

The same commenter does say if you go with the liquid version the woman in the video demonstrates, use less water for a cleaner and better-smelling wash.

Tips regarding 'loud' appliances and foot comfort     (TraditionalWives)
submitted by NeedleStack to TraditionalWives 2.1 years ago (+14/-1)
55 comments last comment...
On the rare occasions I run the (very loud) dishwasher, I pair the task with vacuuming at the same time so that I'm doing two loud tasks at once to get them over with. I put in foam ear plugs while I do this to minimize the annoyance.

I don't recommend blaring music in headphones to combat the noise because you'll definitely create long-term ear damage.

There have been times when I've started the dishwasher as I'm heading out the door to run errands but this is risky because you ought to be home in case there's a leak or problem where you'll need to stop the machine before things get worse. I know this isn't a common issue but you never know!

About foot comfort: I have a pair of sneakers I wear indoors only for housework. It's made a world of difference because my feet are way less aggravated by the end of my chores than if I were barefoot or in socks. Sneakers are so cheap in thrift stores now, you could pick up a comfy pair just for the home. Remember to treat yourself to cushy socks as well (and perhaps gel inserts) to help you last longer on your feet.

Chime in if you have similar tips!

Elevating your bedmaking (video is on a youtube mirror)     (vid.puffyan.us)

You don't have to buy expensive sheet sets like Porthault of course but getting cotton or linen ones and a proper duvet or wool blankets and/or cotton patchwork quilts will do wonders.

Tips not mentioned in this video:

Vacuum around your bed more often as well for better sleep.

A trick I learned to freshen your mattress a couple of times a year is sprinkling about a cup of baking soda on a stripped mattress (on laundry day of course) and let it sit for as long as your laundry is going. The goal is for the powder to soak up/neutralize any odors on the fabric. When it's time to make the bed, vacuum up the soda and also vacuum the sides of the mattress (paying attention to all the seams where dust settles in). Vacuuming your mattress every now and then will help in the meantime.

Open your windows for a few minutes each morning (even in winter) to allow fresh air into your home too.

That sucks , baby I watch is 8 months . I knew she was going to be soon but she crawled for the first time today. I sent the video to her mother.if the baby would have held out by one day one of parents would have been the first to see her.
Im happy the baby is finally mobile but it always makes me a little sad when I'm the first to see the milestones.

Anyone ever read The Surrendered Wife?     (TraditionalWives)
submitted by sharkbait to TraditionalWives 3.5 years ago (+5/-0)
16 comments last comment...
After what I think has been a very rocky first year of marriage, my husband finally got through to me and I've discovered what he figured out awhile ago... I'm quite bossy.

Now, he has his own demons and I know he's been working very hard on them, so I know it's in both of our best interests for me to fix my problems too.

Enter "The Surrendered Wife". I googled "how to be less bossy" and "how to be less controlling" and this book came up. I read it in two days and I love it. I'm just starting out trying the methods and was curious if anyone else had read it or would be open to reading it and discussing it here.

The biggest revelation for me has been that almost everything I'm saying that I think is "helpful" is really just communicating to him I don't trust his abilities. Additionally, if I really want to have a traditional marriage (and not be constantly stressed out) I need to give up doing the household finances - this hasn't been broached yet because I also know he doesn't really want to do them, so I'm waiting for a good moment to explain that I can't do it anymore and I need his help.

Anyway, thanks for listening to this and I would welcome any productive thoughts!

Classic feminine styling observations     (TraditionalWives)

Hi Needlestack and other TradWives

I've been tweaking my personal style over the past few months and thought I would share my results.

Before I started this, I wore a lot of pants, gym wear and tomboy clothes - leggings, bike shorts, band/concert tshirts, etc. I started noticing my peers at the playground , also wearing the same, compared to older women you might see at the grocery store, who are much more put together. Even my mom still dresses well to do chores, with blouses and slacks. I started to become self-conscious because bike shorts don't convey dignity and when you compare modern clothes with what our grandmothers wore, we may as well be wearing underwear. Modern fashion, just like everything else it seems, is a race to the bottom. We know this and we can do better, so I set out to update my style.

I started incorporating more skirts into my repertoire, still wearing tshirts but now with a high-waisted A-line instead of pants. I try not to wear pants unless I have a flowy blouse. The litmus test on whether my outfit is appropriate is if my grandmother saw me in it, would she approve?

It hasn't been long but I'm really enjoying the challenge. I love it when my husband comes home and says I look great. And I should look great, it's the least I can do when he has to look at sweaty beer gut guys at work. When I run errands, people are friendlier and nicer to me. I stand out. Skirts are cool and more forgiving than shorts. It sets a good example to my children, who I am also trying to dress more respectfully.

I'm still stumped on what to wear for getting dirty. An apron works in the kitchen but what about when you're cleaning or going to the gym? I don't want to sweat in my nice clothes or scrub the tub in a skirt.

Has anyone else started dressing more classically feminine? How is it working out?
