Sticking with the Superhero subject, I'd just like to spew 11 single and working mom decorating ideas out there for 2011. You can follow them, too, even if you have a nanny:
1) Take a hot salt bath: This is a real home decorating idea and was not mine. I gleaned it from Jayme Barret's "Feng Shui Your Life", where on pages 28 and 29 she suggests starting out your Feng Shui journey with a hot salt bath to cleanse your energy field. You may choose to stop your journey here.
2) Feng Shui the kids: They are moving energy anyway.
4) Don't buy any furniture that has to be screwed together: If you do, please don't put it in your love and relationships center.
5) Skip step three: In any case, you won't have time.
6) Try not to stand while drinking coffee: If you must multi-task while enjoying your morning cup, make sure it is while talking to a good friend, reading my blog, or while cleansing your energy field as in step 1.
7) Keep emergency alcoholic beverages on hand: Heaven forbid you should put your faith in a Saint Bernard.
8) Wear your sunglasses inside: This has a three-fold effect: the dust won't show, you will look cool and your crow's feet will have miraculously disappeared.
9) Make sound investments: I have already gotten an extra 8 hours of sleep this year with only one DVD: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
10) Spider plants: They need very little water and light and they breed by themselves, thereby validating the working mother and the principle that neglect is a valuable educator and that children learn through "natural" consequences.
11) If all else fails, evacuate: You can't see the dust, the mess, the empty fridge or the dirty dishes when you are out of the house
Yours with parachute on,
Mrs Crocodile
