What a Nasty Job – What a Lovely Reward

One of the special tasks on the calendar today was to spend an hour cleaning and organizing the kitchen. To the outside observer my kitchen is clean and organized. And its true, I keep my counters cleaned off and wiped down. The cabinets I use to store my pots, pans and dishes are clean and for the most part well organized. My kitchen sink is usually free of dirty dishes. And I clean as I cook, so when dinner is ready, most of the dirty dishes I used to cook with are in dishwasher or the sink ready to be cleaned. However, there are those locations in my kitchen where I do the stash and dash. Most are clean enough but there is absolutely no organization whatsoever. But then, there’s the cabinet under my kitchen sink. I hate to admit it but it’s just icky.

Here it is:

Dun, dun, dun. It’s sad, I know. And, from the picture you can’t even see all of the gunk that’s leaked from all those mostly empty (now anyway) bottles. So, besides cleaning out my fridge and giving my appliances a scrub I tackled the nastiness under my kitchen sink. And so, without further ado I give you my clean and organized cabinet.

Ta Da!

I ditched several empty bottles, dried out wipes and used scrubbers, combined half bottles of the same product, and found plastic containers with lids to store items that are usually sold in a box or bag that gets all smushed and icky under the sink. My fridge was ready to be restocked with the water & soda stored under there so that left a lot of empty space. I also pulled out one of those handy dandy 3M Command hooks and hung the doo-hicky my plastic shopping bags are stored in on the cabinet door.

Isn’t it nice to finally get in and take care of those icky places in our homes? It’s such a lovely reward to look at them afterward. I think I’ll go take another look. LOL

Have a great day,
B.

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2024!  Welcome to the Clean House Calendar!  I'm Britia (pronounced Brita, like the water filter.)  And this is my little home on the internet. Have y'all ever picked a 'Word of the Year' or participated in the 'One Little Word' challenge?  class?  I decided this year I would pick a 'Word of the Year.'  A word that will focus and guide my goals for the year.  My "Word of the Year' is FAITH.   Matthew 17:20 says, “ You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a  mustard   seed , you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” NLT   Then Hebrews 11:1 says, " Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."   KJV    Dictionary.com defines faith as " confidence or trust in a person or thing or  belief that is not based on proof."   Marti...
