Hi everyone,
Hi Bubbles,
Onions and garlic I remove the skin and store in the fridge two boxes.
I cut onions according to my everyday need. Before I start cooking in the morning 1st I cut onions chop or cut garlic, green chilies so it make me easy on my cooking time.Onions are fresh for more than 7 to 10 days.

you can store cauliflower, broccoli up to 10 to 12 days but store them in small portion according to your need. If you take veggies out and put it to fridge will spoil veggies freshness.

I don't cut and store onions in fridge because freshly cut onions and fridge store cut onions makes different tastes.

there are some veggie can't stored in boxes like ladyfingers,snake gourd
because they contains more water.
Rap them in kitchen paper towels or news papers.

Hey girls,

Nice to see the thread alive again. August and September were quite hectic with lots of travel , guest visit and in laws visit etc. Hopefully October will be bit relaxed and I can focus on something .

This thread is really motivating and inspiring.

In midst of all these hectic schedules I made it a point go for regular walks and reading for sometime before I sleep. Feeling good. There were people saying that I have reduced.

Post-pregnancy tummy is a real bummer. But if you have high anemia, you need to get that corrected first. Are you on iron tablets ? Have you discussed with your doctor if you need iron injections?
Then you can get started on a good diet - cum - exercise regimen.

Hi Everyone
Thought I'll peep here and was happy and surprised that this thread is still on top.
Goes to show how we women care a lot about our families and want to make our homes the happiest and most comfortable for our family members.

Thank you @AkilaMani for reviving the thread and anchoring it beautifully! Keep up the good work.
Posting queries on problem areas is a wonderful idea.

You had posted a query a few thread ago on managing Laundry - especially folding clothes.
Try this. It may not relieve you completely but will reduce the amount of laundry that need to be folded.

I have allotted two huge bins (box with no lids or loose lid) for my undies. In these I just toss them without folding. This leaves just the larger clothes to be folded.

You can have such boxes for each family member - labeled.
For little children's clothes you can just smooth them with your hands and place one on top of the other in a bin and then place the bin on the shelves (label them clearly)
Boxes will give a neat appearance and also prevent over-piling of clothes which will topple down when cupboards are opened.
I'll post a picture soon of what I am talking about.

Time to fold. I make it a point to wash just one batch of clothes a day - and I definitely watch one TV show in the evening with a cup of coffee - I place the dry laundry in a basket, take it down and fold them while watching TV. I do not set any other time to fold clothes. It took some time to get into this routine.

Trust some of you will find this helpful.

Here are the pictures I promised.
The first picture is shelves that have my petticoats, white on one side colors on the other.

Second picture: after they are placed in bins.

Third and fourth pictures: petticoats are placed vertically in the bins so that I can locate and pull out the one I need easily.

Trust you find this helpful.

My presence here seems to have deterred others from posting.
Perhaps I am intruding. Sorry.
Will say bye now. I'll peep in every now and then.

I also thank @Bubbles and @BDivya for taking up the thread and anchoring alongside Akilamani.
Thanks a ton!
Enjoy your time here.
