Hi Kamala mam, Shanvy,
Thanks a lot for tips.

weekends, spending time in trashing items/packing & sunday cooking.
My routine will get changed in a month. Since, I will be sending my son to preschool.

 

Thanks kamala, latha and anitha for the likes..

for me managing my home is a big problem on days when i have muscle cramps or my legs become numb and stop co-operating..and to handle things with a hand that just gonks on those day..with so many health issues, managing and keeping them user friendly is my main motto..cleanliness come along..but there are days when i don't bother about anything..only about clean food on the table.. my family, co-operates with what is put on the table, as they know the struggle it takes on certain days for me.. people tell us we could get our food catered from outside..but for me, that step would mean my health has deteriorated more..so i find the will power to do it for my own satisfaction.

I have a maid who does work like sweeping in such a way that the broom should not cry..so imagine..

Will post pictures of some of my kitchen and fridge..had asked dd to take them.

 

Shanvy, I always wonder that with such health issues, how do you well maintain your house...
