Diwali is near and it’s time to decorate and first clean the house for this Diwali. Everyone does cleaning but , How to do smart cleaning? Smart cleaning is managing two works at the same time. I am sharing some tips for busy moms to manage household work and office work with the kids.
Morning Routine for Diwali
- Wake up early , It may be difficult for working moms but waking up early make the household activities to go easily and finishes very quick.
- First activity after waking up pray to god , Go to bath and meanwhile keep washing machine running with clothes.
- In this way you are performing two activities at the same time, You can also put rice cooker on . So that you can manage three activities at the same time.
- Kids won’t wake up early , So it will be better for the mom to complete chores before they wake up.
- Prepare breakfast, If you are using a four burner stove . then just keep idly for steam on one stove, Some people won’t like idly than you can also keep other items such as oats porridge on the other.
- Better complete breakfast and lunch before kids wake up.
Morning activities need to be planned in the night itself , So that you won’t get confused what to do next . Activities such as Cutting vegetables, Marination need to be done prior.
Afternoon Routine
- For moms , By afternoon kids are done with the breakfast and bath. Here they get some time to manage the office work ( this is especially work from home moms ) .
- Then starts making your kids eat the lunch. Prefer making them eat on their own, Or when you are eating make your kids sit beside you and tell them to eat. Initially they can’t. But trying this for a week , They can manage eating on their own.
- Kids won’t eat to the full , They just eat 20 % another 80 % mother should feed them, sitting beside them and making them eat while playing with toys. ( This increases bond between mother and child )
Evening Routine
- Evening routine includes study time with kids . Teach kids alphabets and numbers in a fun way.
- Have nice evening walk with kids play with them. This is the most favorite time to spend with the kids .
- chitchat , laughing, playing , singing and dancing with kids is the most precious moments never to be missed.
