Oh mine would definitely be getting all of those dustbunnies and cobwebbie thingies off the ceilings and everywhere else.  I can never seem to reach them when I need to be.

With a flick of a wand, dinner would be ready!

What a gift for a mom!! A magic wand for house chores. My magic wand would have to clean the bathroom, especially the toilet!! We just went through a bout of the  stomach flu at our house and the dirty toilet was the last thing I felt like cleaning!!

 

As "Queen Mother", I don't often get asked my wishes, but in this case, I will oblige. 

(Thank you for giving me the opportunity!)

"Abbara cadabbara, Calamazoo...Let the cleaning of this basement be through!"

 And "Poof"...there would be no more boxes of toys or kitchen stuff I can't fit in upstairs.

Gone would be the piles of wrong-season clothes, unshelved books and stray puzzle pieces.

And in it's place would reign order, cleanliness and a room fit for any princess to enter.

Ahh, thanks for the momentary daydream!

Dusting!  We try to do chores together as a family, but since I am the only one who can reach over 4 feet, I'm usually the lucky one.

Definitely, making dinner. By that time of day, I have so many other things I need to do. My kids are a mess and beg at my feet while I am trying to cook. It would be great to flick my wand it have it all on the table! Thanks so much!

I would definitely use my wand to do the family laundry. It is one of those never-ending jobs that you can never get ahead on. It was fun to daydream about it- even for a minute!

If I had a magic wand I would FOR SURE! Get it to clean put away my laundry. I can get it done, folded, even separated into bedrooms but it never gets put away. Of course then it gets unfolded as they rummage through trying to find something to wear. Sometimes it even gets washed again because DS throws everything on the floor, clean or dirty into the hamper. Come to think of it so does DH!
