I'm going to pose a question out here, and I really, really, really want you to leave a comment on this post! It's important! I'm looking for your input on this blog. You see, I have been analyzing the different ways people find their way to this site. My stats will show me where folks clicked in from when they get here. It doesn't tell me who, or where, you are in the world. It just shows the last page you clicked onto a link to my page. That's all...don't panic about privacy! Seriously! I have no idea what you were doing, who you are, or anything else! It just tells me how you clicked to here...
Anyway, I have noticed that about 78% of those who come to my blog reach it from a GOOGLE or BING search for "routines, schedules for housewife" or similar search keywords. That's right... 78%. That's a staggering figure to me! There are obviously those who click in from feeds, blogrolls, other blogs who link to me, and other avenues. But apparently everyone is really interested in how to maintain or develop a schedule for either cleaning or just plain managing their day. The second highest route to get here is a search for "laundry chart", or other such terms. That's around 13% of the search engine traffic. That leaves only around 9% of the page views to other search terms or the traditional clicks I mentioned above.
So, here's the question: "What do you want to read about the most?" I want to know. Seriously. I want to make sure my content is useful for you, and makes clicking on the page worthwhile! Please tell me what you are looking for in the posts I publish out here. Now, obviously, I started this because of my passion for all things housewife. Therefore, I've tried to write about all aspects of it, from grocery shopping to cleaning; from gardening to decorating. I enjoy all of these things, so it's not a chore to write! And of course, even though I'm looking for input, I will still post the things I feel compelled to share due to my excitement or interests.
But I want to know your thoughts. If you are looking for certain topics, information, details, how-to's, tips, anything, I would like to be able to give you what you are looking for! So, if you've managed to read all the way through this post, please take a moment to leave your suggestions/requests in the comments. I promise I will read each and every one of them and take them to heart...
Finally - you get to decide! You may not get to choose when anything else happens today, since the world doesn't always cooperate, but here's something that you can control for a change! Take advantage! You never know when you'll get your own way again! lol
Don't try so hard ,the best things come when you least expect them to. Don't waste your time on a man/woman ,who isn't willing to waste their time on you .1

I am a housewife with no children yet. And I was just looking for ideas of what I should be doing all day. I do work marykay part time and have quite a few animals, but I just wish I had more of a schedule. I really want to be the best wife I can be and don't want my husband to think I have just sat around all day while he is out working hard.

My biggest struggle as a homemaker is that I feel I have to choose between being an awesome mommy or an awesome housewife. (Just so you know, I am also a full-time nursing student.) If the kiddo and I spend the day painting, playing, reading, and going to the park, nothing gets done. I use her nap times to study! Sure, I tidy up a bit, but the house is definitely not what I am proud to show off. I WOULD tell my child to go off alone, but she's two and doesn't understand that Mommy's dishes are more important. :-/
P.S. I have been reading your blog for almost 3 years! I love it and even took your Housekeeping 101 class! You helped me streamline my routines AND figure out how to do a deep-clean. This was back when my kiddo was a newborn, though, so she didn't require as much one-on-one time. You did help me, though. :)

Well, I came across your blog from Facebook. I was actually looking for blogs discussing scheduling for housewives. I like to see examples, and that is what I was searching for.
