How do you do it??

Calling all wives...
Alright ladies, gimmie some advice. I am almost 7 months into this wife business...and I feel like I have missed the boat somewhere. Was there an..."how to be an amazing wife" class that I didn't take?
Don't get me wrong....honey bunz still loves me, I am just wanting/needing to be better.

I don't cook. HOWEVER, he knew this before he married me, so therefore...who really is at fault:) But still, I am sure deep down in his sweet soul he wishes his wifey would put her domestic apron on and whip up a delightful home cooked meal. I've tried...but I failed. I can make the food look good (that is my creative, decorating side...) but it still manages to taste somewhat like dog meat. Hungry yet?

We have been moved into our new place for two weeks now...and I still haven't got this place under control. Seriously....how long should it take, it is only the two of us. As I am sitting here now, in the living room...looking at the floor, I realize that I haven't vacuumed since after we moved in. I am sure 10 of you just gasped in disappointment...get over it and come vacuum my house:)

FOR THE RECORD...I am not even going to mention the laundry. Not a single word.

Now...on the positive side, 1/4 of my house is decorated:) Seriously, we all know where my priorities are! Like I said, just 1/4...the rest is sitting in the spare bedroom begging me to be put away. Honestly, after decorating for 8 hours a day for other people....sometimes I don't feel like hanging pictures, dusting frames or fluffing greenery! Shame on me. Although other times, fluffing my precious gems seems more important than dinner and dishes, and far more fun:)

For the record....honey bunz is an amazing husband. He cooks like a chef and has NEVER once complained about my lack of cooking ablities. He also helps out A TON around the house. Always asking to do more....he loves "honey-do" lists...and I hate making them. AND....I should mention that he HATES it when I take out the trash. Hates it. What a sweet heart. Now you see why I want to be better! Look who I married:)

NOW for the confession. I have spent the last 2 hours blog stalking. (Gasp) I know...I know...you are all thinking, slap your apron on and grab a cook book/ plug in the stinkin vacuum/ hang that picture that has been sitting on the floor in the hall for two weeks. . . . . blah blah blah.
However, I have noticed that you ladies are amazing. I have noticed that you new mothers out there have it more together than I do. You mothers with 15+ kids have your houses cleaner than mine. You wives feed your husbands like kings and from the looks of things, your food even tastes good. Seriously ladies...don't make me name drop and call you out personally. You know who you are. How do you do it?

Come on ladies...share your dirty little secrets. I am going for wife of the year and could use some pointers!! What are your tricks? I don't even have kids yet and I am failing the wife of the year award. HOW DO YOU DO IT?
