Keeping things clean!
I have been doing lots of cleaning and organizing (and feeling more in control of life).
Two things I have found helpful are:
1. In the kitchen I hate when meat drippings sit in a container on the counter waiting for trash day because I don't want to waste a ton of other resources (not to mention energy) to clean it up. My normal routine was to pour drippings from pan into a cleaned yogurt container or sour cream container or the like. It would sit there all week...if not more...waiting for more grease and when it was full I would cap it and trash it. Well, it starts to stink, especially when you forget about it!
Here's my solution:
Easy grease disposal
2. Cords, cords and more cords. When married to a video game fanatic you acquire a lot of cords, cords that only get used once or twice or not at all. Or cords that get lost in the shuffle of changing from VCR to DVD to Blu-ray; throw in surround sound, antennas (because we don't have cable or satellite) and all the cords that come with the kids technology toys and there are so many cords sitting around! Now after all that, I will just go straight to the pin:
Cord Organization
I did this and it has worked wonders! I downsized the box I had all the cords in and there is no more maze work required to find and untangle the right cord!
