Welcome to The Helpless Housewife! I created this blog to journal some of my experiences as a new housewife 😉 I’m a 26 year old college graduate and currently attending pharmacy school in Virginia. I consider myself reasonably intelligent and fairly creative. But when it comes to “housewifey” things, I’m at a total loss! I have no housekeeping tips or tricks, I can’t stand dishes (ew smelly, discolored water!) and I have zero organizational technique. (I’ve always envied people with color coordinated dividers that are properly labeled and neatly organized drawers.) I pretty much can’t cook. I don’t think I’ve ever cleaned a toilet so I don’t even know what to say about that. I’m pretty bad at all things related to being neat, clean and organized!

But my goal is to LEARN!

I’ll *attempt* to post here daily with general tips I dig up from friends, family or Martha Stewart Living. 😉 HA! I’ll share personal stuff, housewifey activities and domestic pointers! I want to focus on cooking, cleaning, design/decor and organization. Hopefully this will help all you newlyweds who don’t know the difference between a steak knife and a bread knife make some sense of this whole married things!

DISCLAIMER: I am by no means just a “housewife” and I view this term LOVINGLY 😉 My husband cooks more than I do and we both clean about the same amount, which is close to never! Since I’m in school full time and he works full time we are BOTH learning how to manage a house, a puppy and our lives together as old married folks! This blog is for anyone who wants to learn how to deal with “life stuff” in general!
