To me, loading and unloading a full dishwasher seems like more work then just washing by hand nightly.
Laundry is hung on a clothes line to dry, love the smell when i am removing and folding the clothes. Most floors are washed by hand. I have a Swiffer and love it for the dry pads to get up the cat hair during the week, but rarely mop with it. I iron my own clothes almost daily for work, I cook from scratch, I can the garden produce, I make homemade applesauce, apple pie filling, pumpkin pie filling, freezer jam, freeze berries for winter use. I too cherish the feelings of peace and gratitude during these times of laboring.
