The Sort

Last updated on

Once I figured out what wasn’t working with the spice cabinet, and what my vision was for it, I took everything out of the cabinet. Needless to say, there were many duplicate items and even more triplicates of items than I want to admit. After grouping like items with like items, this is what I found: 2 bags of sugar – one 1/2 full, one 1/8 full 2 bottles of virgin olive oil – both pretty full 3 bottles of vanilla – two full, one missing about 4 tablespoons 3 jars of chicken bouillon cubes – two missing about 6… read more »

Put all holiday dishes and large bulky items you seldom use in the hardest to reach place in your kitchen. How many glasses and mugs do you really need?

Last updated on

When I bought my house 10 years ago, I noticed there were two trees in the front yard that had been growing very haphazardly. They looked very messy and unkempt. I tackled the trees and trimmed out all of the branches that were growing between other branches, going in the wrong direction or were too low. When I was finished, both trees looked like they had taken on a new life and a new direction. Finally free of the cluttered branches that weren’t serving them, and were actually harming them, they will now be able to grow stronger and more healthy.… read more »
