How do you guys keep your house clean with toddlers and have time to work full time, work out, cook, play with toddlers, take them to activities, etc? I've never been a super tidy person but I really do enjoy a clean home and try but I have the hardest time keeping up. I did at one time have a housekeeper which helped but we can't afford it at the moment. Just doesn't feel like there's enough hours in the day to get it all done.

गम है......
तेरे चले जाने का,
तुमको ना पाने का,
अकेला हो जाने का,

अफसोस है......
गम से ना उभर पाने का,
इस गम अपने अंदर दबाने का,
वक्त रहते सच ना देख पाने का,

पर सकून है.....
तेरे खुश हो जाने का,
धन दौलत का ख्वाब पाने का,
मेरी तरह गमों में ना बह जाने का,

उम्मीद है........
अब travel वाले अरमानों का गला नहीं घोटते होगे,
Pretty dress को लेने से पहले प्राइस price tag नहीं देखते होगे,
Latest iPhone सबको दिखा के खूब फेंकते होगे,
Luxary staycations पे अच्छी धूप सेकते होगे,

आशा करता हूं......
