Update

I want this post to be an update on how things are going so far in the life as a fifties housewife.  I so far have not been able to do much in the way of the dresses and heels that they did back then.  I am trying my best to do the cooking and cleaning the way that they did.  So far I have been keeping a clean house and company ready all the time and getting the supper on the table at a decent time.  I am working on keeping the meals the same as they were back then like the fried chops and fried chicken.  I have also done things like chicken pot pie and chicken and dumplings.   I know from people that I have talked to that they ate a lot of chicken.  They were able to raise the chickens and collect the eggs for their baking and for the daily eggs for breakfast.  They also drink a lot of milk to keep the bones healthy and promote growth.  I have added this to my daily life.  We are having a glass for breakfast and then the kids have a glass with supper.  The kids also have milk for lunch at school.  Tea is what we have for the adults to drink for supper.  They also drink a lot of water to keep their bodies healthy and promote good skin.  I have always been good at drinking water since I started to follow the Flylady she has an awesome water bottle that will hold ice all day and keep your water fresh.  I have been carrying this and refilling it several times a day to get in the water that you need to get in to live like a fifties housewife.  These are the most changes that I have found in the last few weeks that I have been trying to live like a fifties housewife.  I hope that you enjoy reading this.  If you want to join me in my journey check out my facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/214824648648096/  also check out the Flylady for more information on how to fly and also to get a water bottle like mine.  I highly recommend this water bottle you can get to her site at www.flylady.net
