Stay at Home Moms: I would like to know the details of what you wear all day? Do you put on make up? Jewelry? Do your hair? Sweatpants or other? Also...what do you change about your appearance when your husband is home?

Whatever I feel like during the day, but when my hubby comes home, I definitely get dressed. Make up and all. You know, the woman he fell in love with.

Consider getting a part time nanny, even a day time babysitter for one hour a day a few days a week.. or 3 hours or so 2 times a week..things like that can REALLY HELP! Use it to take a nap without worrying about the possibility of needing to feed/change, go get your hair done in peace. You can find great nannies to interview on craigslist. Or, stay at home and start a business or an online hobby. Who knows what could come out of it :) Nearly all baby products we love today were invented by stay at home mothers. Baby einstein being my top fav. If you sew, knit or crochet, make some handmade cute animal booties and sell on a website! If you dont sew...learn! Another idea, maybe find a website that teaches language lessons. If you have audio on your computer (if you dont, learn to read/write a new language).. with audio, it is something you and your child can do together.. and you will have fun practicing and learning together.

Well today its a shirt of my husbands and a pair of jeans, no bra {at least for now, but if i have company I put a bra on LOL}. Yesterday I was a little more dresssed up because i knew that after my husband got home from work we were going ot be busy with doing things and grabbing dinner out. I don't always wear makeup but some days I do just to look better for the kids LOL And I always wear my rings watch and braclet and put on earrings if I am going somwhere. But for the most part I just bum around unless I decide to go somewhere or if I know company is coming over.

I wake up before my kids so I can shower and do my hair. I always wear make up, unless I have the flu or something! I never take off my jewelry. I generally wear Gap stuff - capri's and cute tops, skirts, jeans, etc. I will wear sporty casual, never ever owned any sweats. I actively play with my kids so I do wear more casual stuff sometimes. (You can't play soccer in kitten heels and a skirt!) I don't do anything different when my husband is home. When my kids get their baths at night even my husband and I put on pajamas so the kids know we're ALL going to bed soon. And even my pajamas are cute, not anything that I would be embarrassed to be seen in at all. You think we're all laying around in sweats eating bon bons watching soaps looking like death warmed over? Ha!

My husband is in Iraq, and my appearance is shameful. Today I wore sweats, a black t shirt and flip-flops. It's 55 degrees here! I went to the grocery this way! My hair is undone, I don't put much makeup on and I don't shower every day.
Now, when my husband comes home (three extra months, thanks, Washington) I'll be more presentable. I'll keep sweatpants during the day to a minimum in favor of jeans and khakis, and I'll wear makeup every day, even when I stay in. I leave my rings off at home all the time, but I keep on a gold necklace and some earrings. I'll shower every day and I'll keep up with my Nair-ing. I may not fix my hair every day, but it will be trimmed, clean and brushed.

I dress for comfort, but I don't stay in sweats or pjs all day. I at least brush my hair and straighten it twice a week. usually my hair is in a pony or a clip. make up, no. Jewelry, only my wedding bands. When my husband finally gets home from his deployment (thanks for the extra 3 months, jerks) I will probably do a little more with my hair and make up. Also right now I am pregnant with my second baby and I have one son already. It's easier to be comfortable, but not too sloppy.

Until I get in the shower I wear my PJs. I'm generally showered and dressed by 10am (kids aren't in school yet or I'm sure I would get ready before taking them to school). Then I wear jeans and t-shirt, during the summer capris and t-shirt. I don't wear makeup (but I didn't wear any while in the "working world" either). Jewelry is just my wedding ring (also same as when I "worked"). I don't change my appearance when hubby is home.

Some days i wear jeans, some days i wear track pants, never sweatpants. I always at least put my hair up, some days i straighten it. I put makeup on, most everyday. I wear a necklace sometimes, but my son likes to grab that so not too often. I dont change my apperance when my hubby comes home mainly becauase im sleeping when he comes home, he works nights.

I'm chasing around 2 toddlers all day long so whatever I throw on in the morning is what stays on all day. I usually wear some type of sweat pants and a t-shirt. I do my makeup occasionally and when my husband is home on his days off I try to do it every day because I have the time to do it. Between cleaning and laundry and cooking and diapers and baths and mowing the lawn and playing outside, I try to keep it simple and comfortable.

Good question :) I get dressed every morning. If I don't I feel lazy and depressed all day. Jeans/t-shirt (I'm nursing) while at home, and something dressier if I'm going out (hey, even the grocery store is going out for me!!) I pull my hair back in a pony tail (my baby LOVES pulling hair!) unless I'm going out with my husband or to church. I always wear earrings and of course my wedding ring. On holidays I'll wear a necklace. I did wear a necklace all the time and another ring, but after I have a baby they love to pull on it, so it goes in the drawer for a year or so. I do put on make up if I'm going out, or if my husband comes home before dinner. He has a weird work schedule, so if he comes home at 8, I don't bother with the make up. I do try to clean the house, and myself before he comes home. Sometimes I clean up the kids, but they like him to give them a bath, so sometimes I will just change a messy shirt on them.

Well I am never at home all day, we're usually running errands and things, so I do my hair and makeup and wear jewelry and look trendy. I make sure my hair and make-up is done when my husband comes home.
