When I've read the Harry Potter book and the Nimbus Two Thousand Broom was first introduced - I wonder if that same broom can do wonders in keeping the house clean, minus the flying dust with every sweep!Eventhough I am not yet a mommy, or housewife, I have already experienced the dark sides of cleaning the house and sweeping the floor - regardless if I am using the walis tingting or tambo - and it doesn't matter if it has traveled 8 hours from Baguio.Read...
