Quick Tips - Dirty laundry, what a pain!


#HomeAlone - What I do when am on my own

As a mom who loves to read and is looking to find as much time as she possibly can to enjoy her passion, I have come up with many quicktips to handle chores. Some of them are directly proportional to avoiding handling daily laundry.

Now, we can’t control the amount of dirty clothes piling up nor can we afford to miss washing them for more than a week. And to top it all, if your beloved city remains perpetually wet during monsoon, it’s a drag to wash clothes, then dry them, then fold them and then stack them in wardrobes.

So, my quick fix goes like…

  • Don’t wash clothes everyday
  • Designate a time when you have to do it
  • Stack dry clothes in small portable storage boxes, especially inner wear and daily wear
  • Instruct your family to use clothes from those boxes first
  • When several days have passed and the clothes are spilling from the boxes, make a cup of coffee or tea, and get to folding them
  • Even then avoid inner wear
  • Never, ever, feel guilty about not being able to do everything everyday
  • Who you kidding?
  • Get your favorite book, forget the rest!



You deserve a break woman.

Being Thirteen - Where am I?

I must admit  I have been quite lazy this winter down under and enjoyed every bit of it. But now I have an itch to blog, and I think I have the perfect occasion to as my son, Aabshaar, turns thirteen in a couple of days, well, officially at least. He has been displaying all the symptoms of being thirteen for some time now.  Inevitably, my mind goes back to the time I hit thirteen, boy, was I rebellious! Full of doubts and questions, I exasperated my parents with the ‘whys’ of the world! It’s an amazing phase to be in, being called a teenager brings a myriad of imagery to mind. The word adolescent sounds poetic, juvenile sounds like a cuss word, pubescent sounds biologically bewildering, youthful sounds not-so-insulting but may indicate that their burgeoning ‘reasoning’ might perhaps be laced with capriciousness, never mind their abundant vigour.  Parents grow with their teenagers. The way they converse with their young adults and the things they say to reach...

When Mum Travels...

It’s not easy managing two blogs though not difficult if you post once a year but am trying not to get there, for now. I am guilty of not uploading regularly and I need to repair that starting now. I have this brilliant idea (or so I think) to share my impression of one of my recent travels with you. I promise I won’t talk about how to get there neither the best places to visit nor any of those easily available details you can grab off the internet. Okay, so may be a bit about things-to-consider-before-you-plan just to kick-start this post. I am trying bullet points to make it easier to read. During September 2017 school break, I went with my family to one of the must-visit sites near Adelaide, Australia. We drove (only my husband did) to Cape Jervis around 107 km from Adelaide and boarded the ship straight to Kangaroo Island (KI). A few things to consider:  1.   As of today as I write and upload this post, there is no flight from Adelaide but have hea...

I don't iron my son's clothes ;-)

Image
Day 26 I am glad my son doesn't want his clothes ironed. The ten-year-old-and-rapidly-growing-guy loves wrinkled jeans and t-shirts. He feels uncomfortable in shirts and kurtas. These I have to iron. Sometimes, I also iron his inner wears, rarely. Now, he has started to iron his school uniform but I do indulge him from time to time. But boy, ain't I glad that he prefers wearing wrinkled t-shirts in which he practically lives. What more can a lazy mom want! P. S.- He's gonna be pretty upset when he knows am splaying the details over the 'net  :D
