It depends how you look at things Poster. When your realize that taking care of your family and doing all those things you find so mundane, actually is the biggest chesed you can do. Chesed starts at home. When we do those things we are actually emulating Hashem by taking care of the needs of our family members. You have such in important job in creating a Mikdash Ma’at.
Just yesterday, as I was folding the laundry, I was thinking ” Hashem, I am doing this L’Shem Shamayim, that my family has clean clothing to wear”.
When you cook, think I am preparing nutrious meals, L’Shem Shamayim, that my family will be strong enough to serve Hashem.
It really helps to put things in perspective and realize that the housework is not a burden, but a mitzvah!! Hatzlacha in all you do!!
