Noise Control

Here's a wacky thing I do in my home to make me feel like I have a little control over the amount of noise and chaos going on in my home, particularly my kitchen, at any given moment. It's a little odd, but it works for me. I turn on the radio in the midst of trying to get dinner together, my boys screaming, and my husband trying to talk to me at the end of his day. When we sit down for dinner ( or before if I can't make it that long) I turn off the radio. The boys are still screaming; my husband and I may still be trying to have a conversation, but there comes a sense of "ahhhhh, quiet" because I eliminated some noise if not all of the noise. Try it.
