Messy House

I’m sure it is every mother’s dream to have a house that is (for the most part of the day) neat and tidy. However with 3 active kids in the house it is near to impossible for the house to look like a page out of a Home and Living magazine. Even for an hour the max!!

Here is a list of ten changes which I would like to see in our house.

The clothes getting cleared off the sofa after being folded and packed neatly into the drawers by the kids.
The kids clearing up after themselves always without my 101 reminders.
The pantry and fridge getting cleaned out on a regular basis.
Everything remain where I put them and not mysteriously go missing or appearing in different places.
Beds getting made each day after everyone wakes up.
Ants and other creepy crawlies disappear forever and don’t ever turn up again.
Everyone helping out in the de-cluttering of the house on a monthly basis.
Toys being put away and not left on the floor.
The boys being able to eat faster and stop stalling during meal times so we can get more things done after meals.
The kids going to bed ON TIME!!

What changes do you want to see in your household?

Motivational Art and Music on a Monday

Bicycle Rack

Last weekend while at East Coast Park for the kids annual sports day I chanced upon this really ingenious contraption- a bicycle rack. The display was near the East Coast Village food court and there were other wooden sculptures in the area but this was the only one which caught my eye.

The bikes are hung at an angle so their tires don’t remain on the sand while being parked at the bicycle rack. I know how difficult it can be to keep the tires clean and how dust and dirt can screw up the cycling mechanism if the bike is not cleaned properly.There was even a pictorial instructional sign in front of the exhibit to explain how the bikes should be mount on the structure.

I really love how functional this piece of art is and that the inventor really managed to get his creation out from an idea in his head to something which everyone can enjoy. It only shows that if one really works on ideas/dreams which they are passionate about the dream will come true.

What are your thoughts about this?
