“The very sight of messy hall, messy kitchen, messy rooms, messy wardrobes drives me almost mad. I feel frustrated and of course wants to cry aloud. I know the reality either I can have happy kids or clean home. I have to choose one, especially, when both of my kids are at home. And I am the only one to take care of them as well as of households. I feel like leave everything behind and run somewhere. But the very next moment, I realize the house and kids need to go together.” This the extract from my diary dated approx six months before.

That was the time when I realized that I need to learn to MANAGE the things. One lucky day when kids were asleep, I leaned on sofa and started scribbling on a notepad. I closed my eyes and thought of my mom how she used to manage the things when we were young. I am sure most of the ladies of my mom’s generation were perfect home maker along being a good cook, tutor to their kids and of course, always ready secretary to their hubbies. I am quite inspired by their generation. Flash back of old childhood memories ran across my mind and I noted down every small thing on a paper. I have tried my best to pen down all the small tips and tricks which can lead to the perfectly managed home and kids.

Everyone of us is frustrated these days. Be it an office burden or other issues in the family. And when you see the messy house, you simply start running away from the situation because it takes a lot of effort to do everything just in a day or two. Finally, you start doing it and after few days you will get irritated and then you leave everything in between. Be it kitchen drawers and cabinets, dressing room, yours kids room or any other household chores.

I am going to share my personal experience with you ladies. The proper priority schedule do wonders. It took me about 15 days but my house turned altogether a perfect home where I could locate everything very easily. So, here I will share the amazing tips to keep a House clean and tidy.

12 Tips to keep a House clean and tidy:
