Alright, don’t frown because I said housework is great bonding time LOL I know some of us can’t get our spouses to help with housework, but we missing out on spending quality time together.
Think about this: when you are doing housework and/or yard work, you guys are participating as a team to achieve one common goal. Isn’t that what marriage is all about?
I had the opportunity to review Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler. The container is durable and sleek. It fits neatly on a cabinet door. Instead of hiding ours, because I didn’t want to forget to recycle) we have placed our container on the outside of one of our kitchen cabinet doors.
The hubby and I had the funniest time even thinking about the items we would like to recycle.
The thing that we liked most was, we were in the same room talking and laughing and didn’t even focus on “housework.” I know some spouses dread hearing the word “cleaning” or “housework” but don’t use those words. Find something that you can say to your spouse to get them involved with helping you and using that time as QUALITY TIME.
To help you guys with a Quality Time activity that includes “housework” “recycling” or “cleaning” (you pick the correct action verb here, smile) I am giving away a Rubbermaid Hidden Recycler to one of my readers. I thank Rubbermaid for this opportunity.
The representative at Rubbermaid understood the importance of quality time for married couples and bought into the fact that we must think outside the box when it comes to spending time with our spouse.
A few qualities of the Recycler:
- Easy attachment to a cabinet door
- 5 gallon bag can hold up to 36 12 oz cans
- Leak proof liner
- The bag and liner is made from recycled materials
So the giveaway will be very easy:
- Leave a blog post comment telling us what item you think you and your hubby would recycle.
- Tweet: @datingmyspouse & @rubbermaid about this giveaway
The giveaway is open from May 24 (12noonCST)-May 29(12noonCST). A winner will be chosen on Tuesday, May 29.
Besides housework/cleaning, what is another think outside the box activity could you and your spouse do to have quality time?
Disclaimer: I received a Free sample of the Hidden Recycler from Rubbermaid; however, my views and opinion of the product is all mines.

We recycle everything we possibly can. I hate to waste anything. We would probably use this recycle bin for cans and glass jars.

Greetings, Kings! I agree. I love being outdoors doing yard work with my King. Sometimes we don’t even talk, just smile at each other, working side-by-side.

we would probably recycle drink cans more than anything! He goes through those some kind of crazy! (by the way, I’m sending him your way so he can think of housecleaning as quality time! He would think I was nuts if I told him that.. LOL)
