With any vacation comes the aftermath of a let-down. One of the biggies for moms can be the amount of housework there is to do. Whether it’s unpacking after a trip, cleaning from company, or simply catching up on the tasks that were neglected during our designated “time off,” we have a lot to do!
The laundry alone can take a whole day, but what about cleaning the kitchen floor, scrubbing the countertops, and mopping the floor? It can be overwhelming coming back to reality.
You can get a lot of good out of house chores, even more than getting your house clean. Did you know that housecleaning can burn up somewhere between 100 to 200 calories per hour? Some of the best calorie burners are mopping the floor and vacuuming the carpet. Even grocery shopping is a good burner. Maybe all those chores aren’t so bad, eh?
Even though it might feel like we’re stuck with the brunt of the work and slightly overwhelmed for a few days, remember that we’re really getting the better end of the bargain. While the others around us are probably taking in excess calories, we are burning them.
