Being a Mommy is one of the best experiences you’ll ever get to go through and hopefully you’ll be able to repeat it numerous times. It’s certainly not ever easy being a parent, but it is certainly worth while in the end.
The sleepless nights are all forgotten about when you beam proudly as you wave off your little angel on their first day at school and then you return to an unusually quiet house. Just because your baby is now a little more grown up and not under your watch 24/7, that doesn’t mean that you can just sit and relax during the day.
You still a house to run. There will be a million things to do each and every day and what seems like so little time. It seems like you’ve only just dropped them off when the alarm goes off to pick them up again and you sometimes feel like you’re fighting a losing battle. But fear not Mommies, there are things you can do to make your daily chore list far easier and quicker to get through.
- Use your hubby’s tools
There are more uses to your partner’s tool belt than you probably realise. If you’re not into DIY then that doesn’t mean you can’t ever wear one of these (not so fashionable) items. Grab the tool belt from the shed and fill the pockets with spray bottles, dust cloths and whatever else you need.
- Dance your way through
Dancing solves everything right? The great thing about it is that you don’t even need to be good at it when you’re doing it in the comfort of your own home. You can listen to whatever you want when the kids aren’t around, so put your dancing shoes on (if you don’t have any, some big fluffy slippers will do just fine) and dance your way through the hoovering. If you’re not sure which one will fill your house with the best tunes efficiently, check out iThingum for all the advice you need.
- Get jean savy
Save time on ironing by folding your jeans and t-shirts as soon as they are out the dryer. Doing this straight away will smooth out any creases which will mean you spend less time ironing and more time enjoying yourself!
- Sit at home and relax
Long gone are the days of having to go all over the place to get the weekly shop. It all became easier when supermarkets came into existence and now it’s even more convenient thanks to the internet. You can buy all the food, toiletries and cleaning products you could dream of and have them delivered straight to your front door without even having to leave the house.
- Pair things up
If you can kill two birds with one stone then do it! Pair up the chores that you can do simultaneously so you can get it all done in half the time. If you need to make your weekly call to your mom then do so whilst you’re loading up the dishwasher. Give everything a quick dust whilst you’re hoovering the lounge.
