Tips For Keeping Your Kitchen Clean

Tips for Keeping Your Kitchen Clean (from a recovering messy cook).

You guys. This week has been one for the record books. 

Last Monday Reuben got sick with a fever/headache/sore throat/cough. He was so miserable. Finally, over the weekend, he was feeling much butter.

And then the kids got it.

Helen was over it in half a day, but Jim’s version of it lasted longer. And he would. not. sleep. at. night. One night it really was a toss-up whether I should have attempted to sleep or just pulled an all-nighter. If you know me well, you know I value my sleep and get all sorts of cranky if I can’t have it.

After giving birth to Jim I had postpartum anxiety stemming from lack of sleep (you can read more about that on my personal blog here). Yesterday I felt like I could have another panic attack just thinking about one more sleepless night. The quick breathing. The rapid thoughts. If any of you have had a panic attack before, you know what I’m talking about. Not fun.

BUT James only woke up 2 times last night. Thank you Jesus! I think we’re finally on the other side. And the weather is sunny and warm and whispering of spring. It’s good for the soul.

ANYWAY.

I recently shared a post over on The Pioneer Woman’s Blog about tip for keeping your kitchen clean.

Funny story: when Reuben and I first got married, we had very different ideas about how to keep the kitchen. He grew up in a household that valued a tidy kitchen, but my mom never put a strong emphasis on it. I was fine with leaving a pile of dirty dishes by the side of the sink after supper, but that made Reuben cringe.

Over the years I came to realize the benefits of trying your best to keep you kitchen clean. And I learned a few hacks along the way that made my life easier.

Do you have any tips of your own you’d like to share?
