A Bride's Day Till The Men Leave For Work:

               

Note: Working moms are moms and wives first. If her family is happy, so will her work environs be.

I am focusing in the next few blog posts a woman’s role in her new home. We will get to the work bit by and by. Kindly bear with me. J

 Your daily rituals should be something like this, add or minus what seems comfortable to you:

Have bath early in the morning and dress up such that you are ready to receive guests any time of the day

You could put on light makeup and perfume.

When your nail polish is fading, immediately remove the remaining nail polish and apply a fresh one. 

At no point should your nails be bereft of paint. Needless to say, manicure and pedicure your fingers and toe nails before adding the final touches. If you don’t know how to do it, go to a parlour and observe what they do and how. Now do it at home. ;)

Light the lamp, burn essence and say your prayers

Make tea or coffee and serve everybody

Read the newspaper and business mags.

 Be aware of what’s happening around your neighbourhood

Clear the tea or coffee tray

Supervise the breakfast making or watch your mother-in-law as she supervises

Lay the breakfast table. Add your personal touch to it. Decorate the table with flowers in the center.

Warm the plates as I have mentioned elsewhere in the book.

Inform everybody that the breakfast is served

Once they are seated, serve the breakfast and then take your seat. Ensure that everybody has eaten well. Insist on putting more food on their plates. It goes without saying that the food should be piping hot and tasty.  Before you set the table, check for any discrepancy in the food and take corrective measures in case there is some ingredient missing.

Clear the breakfast table after your family has finished eating

Wipe the table with a clean, slightly damp cloth and then, with some oil, polish the table. Cover the table with a fresh table cloth and place crystal-ware or a bunch of flowers on top of the cloth.

Give all the staff the rest of the breakfast food to eat.
