    For the last one month, i had a very hectic schedule :bonk. I was waiting for my work visa approval, so my in laws/parents were not with us. So, I had to do all work at home.

    Morning:
    Get up, prepare bournvita(hubby), cofee(for me) & warm up organic milk for my son. Pack lunch for hubby. Preparing oats for my hubby.
    Alternate days sweeping house.
    Calling homes(India).
    Prepare lunch for my son, feed him, making him sleep

    Afternoon:
    Lunch time
    Cut all veggies/onions, prepare dinner & next day lunch for hubby

    evening:
    giving milk to my son
    bath time
    going to gym

    i will leave my son in kidz club & i will go for gym

    night:
    dinner preparation
    watching serials
    sleeping

    I always complete cooking before my gym. Because, am walking 15mins to gym then 1hr gym, again walking back home(pushing stroller as well). So, I prefer to cook and keep it ready and then gym. So, that once am back, I can rest for sometime.. Once dh arrives, eating, feeding baby, watching tv then sleeping..

    My schedule will completely change from next week as my MIL is arriving soon to USA :thumbsup

    I'll update my next week schedule later:)

    Hello Friends,

    Today I spent the time well and did enjoy myself

    woke up at around 6,immdly I took bath and had my coffee.
    I started cooking pulao and subji for lunch and i was too slow today ...It was like as though i was cooking forever :spin

    but some how finished it, made separate lunch for DD, gave b/f to DH and DD.

    gave bath to DD and then lunch for her and then it was time for her afternoon nap. after she slept, I had my lunch and completely cleaned my living.family,dining and my kitchen well. It was very tiring for me but somehow i did it. then did a load of DW and by this time DD woke up

    gave her milk and some tiffin and played with her. did some watering and pruning in my garden.

    made dinner again ..feeding baby, another full load of DW then put my baby to bed :thumbsup

    Hi Anitha,

    I love to do all the household work myself (we are 2, no one to help us, not required also so that DH can feel my presence in all the organised things in my home, offcourse in non organised too:bonk), i am not a perfectionist, still struggling to make things perfect, this thread encourage me alot, gives the feel that some one is here with me to boast my confidence in making my home organised and for planning a healthy cooking.

    I have to thank kamla mam & other friends joining here for such a wonderful thread.

    Magee:thumbsup

    Hello kamala,

    I love your posts. They convey a lot of affection and respect you have for our friends here in IL. I love your vocabulary as well...U use the right words to express your feelings.

    Pls keep the photos coming. It's very inspiring. I used to keep my 2 nd mixie jar in the sink dish tray, use it and place it there only. On seeing your picture. I got an idea and made some space in my cabinet and placed it there. Thank U.

    Hi Anitha Partha,

    Your schedule seems close to mine except for the GYM part which i am skipping. I usually go out for a walk in the summer mornings. but it's these days with my DD. I'll have to find an alternative to it soon.
