As a mum you are on the go from the moment you wake up to the moment the children are asleep. Trying to fit a cup of tea into the day is hard enough. I have come across some great advice and tips about the everyday things we do. Cooking, cleaning and making your house look pretty and I would like to share them with you.
A great tip for cleaning the
microwave is easy and most importantly Eco-friendly. You will need a lemon. All you have to do is half one or two lemons then squeeze the juice into a microwavable bowl, pop the bowl into the microwave and cook for 4 minutes. Then leave the door closed for 10 minutes extra to let the lemon steam do its magic. Next wipe the microwave and you have a lovely clean appliance.
If you are like me you will love nice smells around your house its the only good bit about cleaning although my other half thinks I love it all. When I
hoovered my Grandmas dining room a few months ago I kept getting a lovely smell and thought ' it can't be the hoover' well it was! You can buy vacuum refreshers in supermarkets and online or if you want to do it yourself add a few drops off essential oil to a couple of cotton ball and place in your hoover and that would last a week or two.
I am not sure how my grandma was able to have a different homemade meal on the table at 5:30 everyday from when she first lived with my Grandad until now. Especially when she had 3 young children. I have to admit fish fingers and tinned spaghetti is used regular at my house. However when I do cook homemade it has to be quick and easy as cooking is like I am on a cooking show racing a timer. However in my case its unknown when the time runs out! I always use frozen vegetables as they don't get wasted unlike fresh and they don't taste much different. Another tip I would recommend is use a slow cooker as they are ideal for many families. In the morning place all ingredients in and heat. 6 - 8 hours later you have a meal ready and smelling great.
I can't wait to start doing little interior design projects for my home. I absolutely love homemade items in homes. You can jazz up every room with little things such as making bunting out of material. My mum actually made a crocheted bunting for Annabelles room. Your home has to be a
relaxing atmosphere and lighting plays a huge part so choosing the correct bulb is important. I prefer a small watt that is energy efficient of course.
