I do a lot of my housework at night when all girls are in bed.....but if ive got a cake or dinner, or dishes to do (no dishwasher in this house ), i bring the highchair into the kitchen and give her some toys, or some sultanas and chat away to her whilst i do what i have to do.

If i need to put washing away i will pop her on the bed , pillows around, with some toys and sing/chat to her whilst i put the never ending piles of clothes away .


having siblings is a great distractor too....but thats not instant now is it ????
