The random one on mess

Having a second bundle of joy means more clothes, more clutter and less time.

There are days where i cant stand the clutter in the house. There are days i ignored the clutter in the house for rest comes first above all. Without proper rest, i’m exhausted and i have no more energy for the boys and family.

There are days i wonder if we live in a bigger house, with a helper, will it help to declutter? Maybe? perhaps. But, i guess it boils down to minimalism living (ie, buy only what you need.

We used to cook more more. Well, not that we dont anymore. Just perhaps, not as elaborate. Our weekend meal usually involves porridge with sweet potato.  Sweet potato = high fibre = reduce constipation. It helped me when i was pregnant and now, its primarily for the elder one. He’s a terrible picker of vegetable. But, he’s ok with sweet potato. Before one becomes a parent, you probably dont discuss about poop that much. But after parenthood, poop literally becomes an important part of your life. A healthy bowel kid = less sickness. So yes, sweet potato porridge is a stable in our house every weekend, or, every other weekend, along with other condiments.

So back to mess, and juggling of kids.

Lower your expectations, Get help when needed, use technology to your advantage.

These days, we buy our groceries online (since pregnancy actually). Dont get me wrong, i love to shop in the supermarket, i love the visual fun of it. I love to try and see whats new. But, somedays, you just dont have time and you rather spend the time on something else.

I have a list of online groceries (wet and dry) that we buy our bulk purchase but my two best friend got to be https://www.opentaste.sg/ and https://redmart.com/

For good milk, meat, vegetables and fresh pasta, we tend to buy and deliver on saturday so we get our supply for the weekend.

For all the other bulky items (i’m sure i dont have to name them), its gonna be red mart.

I should probably try Amazon pretty soon.

Alright, the baby is up, the washing machine is making noise. the dishes are in the sink. Which one first?
