Day 3
I knew this one was going to be a BIG project for me, but it needed to be done. The three-drawer shuffle. Here’s the plan:
The way it was before, a set of extra flatware was in the smallest drawer, my utensils were in the medium-sized drawer, and my regular flatware was in the largest drawer. The problem with this is that I LOVE buying utensils! That drawer was so full you had to work it like a puzzle to get everything to fit. So I put away the old flatware, moved the regular flatware to the medium drawer, and then the utensils get both the largest and smallest drawers (which are coincidentally side-by-side).
One of the things I found during Day 2 was the owner’s manual to my oven. As I was glancing through it, I realized that I’ve never used the self-clean feature before. So I thought it might be a good idea to have the oven clean itself while I’m cleaning the drawers.
It came out nice and clean, but boy does that stink up the house!
You are an inspiration…I need to do some serious organizing at my house!!!
Aww thanks
Sometimes it’s hard because there are only so many hours after work to get things done, but I feel really good for making myself do it. My family only comes over 1 or 2 times a year, so I want everything to be perfect on Thanksgiving!
I’d love to see pics if you do any at your house. We’ll keep each other motivated
