WIFE CAN MANAGE LIFE(Tips)

Are you a busy wife? Can’t manage both of your life and house? Okay, Let me solve your problems.
I am a wife too, so I want to share all my ideas with you.
Let’s start from the kitchen because a wife’s main busy place at a house is the kitchen. So, do you cook daily main meals? because I do it as a Srilankan wife.

In Srilanka mostly have our 3 main meals and rice and curry is a must even for one meal. So kitchen essentials and grocery lists are kinda lots. You, who are reading this must be from any country but try to follow these tips to manage your time at home.

First of all the main thing is cleaning. To get an idea about it read my previous article named “4 STEPS TO CLEAN YOUR HOUSE”. After reading that article you will get a proper guideline for cleaning.

``Now the Organizing. I will write down these organizing tips in point form.

Organizing Food items and pantry,

• Keep a few separate bottles to pack the ingredients needed to make tea/coffee or milk tea. (You can paste a name label for each)
• Separate bottles to spices.
• Keep separate container bowls or bins to store Rice, noodles, pasta, dhal, grams, flour, etc, (Dry food)
• When you refilling or taking your needs this separative organizing will help you a lot. In your pantry cupboard store your all goods same like this way.

Organizing Refrigerator,

*In here we store many things so first I take vegetables. How can we properly store vegetables?

• Wash vegetables and let them dry. You can keep them on a clean cloth and water will absorb and vegetables will dry. After dry, you can arrange them in separate vegetable racks that come for refrigerators. (You can cut vegetables and store them as your weekly cooking)
• Divide refrigerator’s shelves according to food items. Ex:- bottom shelf-vegetables, & other shelves like for juices, yogurt, and fresh milk, eggs and more and the freezer for meat, etc. (I wash all eggs and remove dirt from the shell before I put them into the fridge.)
• So this method will save more space in your refrigerator.
• As Sri Lankans, we add curry leaves, pandan leaves, and some extra flavoring things which want to keep in the fridge to save freshness. So, when I get them from my garden(some people gave me to buy them from the market) I wash and dry all and store them in a bottle, and put them into the fridge.
• Use a refresher to the fridge so you can avoid smells. With this organizing, you can save the time that you spend on cooking and also it will give you an easiness.

With these all above your cooking get easier and you can manage now!

Washing

~To do your laundry keep a small area as easy to you and use a shelf or a small cupboard to store washing liquids, detergents, and others.

• In your bathrooms store washing items in a separate area, organize them according to usage, and also store some extra towels and toilet papers.
• If you have an outdoor washing area for vehicles or any other purpose arrange a separate area to store the items as usage.

Use small or big cupboards for rooms and use storage boxes or organizers to arrange items well. Ex:- In your wardrobe arrange your undergarments in a separate organizer. It will help you to find quickly what you need. Even though kids also can easily find things.

Same way above organize your dressing tables, kids' play areas, vanity areas, and make your works easier. When you can easily find your stuff there is no extra time or stress that will bother you.

If you have to go somewhere just prepare your clothes and stuff the day before. Also husband’s and kids, so you can manage your morning without any stress.

Always keep separate areas for households. Schedule your time for house chores and divide among others too. Hope this article will help you to get an idea.!
