Today wrapped up the first week of my 5th Annual Great Summer Purge and Clean: The Kitchen Zone. Today I focused on cleaning/organizing the top of my dishwasher (it’s a portable, and a magnet for piles of crap), cleaning the kitchen table (which wasn’t actually too bad, for a change),

Moving on to the microwave and cupboards around… I forgot to take a before pic of the microwave, so I didn’t bother with an after pic. It’s just a microwave. But I did take pics of the cupboards. These are my dish cupboards and my pots/pans and kitchen appliance cupboards.

Ok, we are in the stove area today…this means the stove and the cupboards above and next to, including my junk drawer…Plus I tacked on the cupboards below the kitchen sink into this area as well. I even opened up my stove and cleaned all the grime that gathers under

Today I tackled my fridge and freezer and some cupboards in the nearby area. I KICKED BUTT!! Luckily we are quite short on food right now, so this job was a lot easier than it could have been. Here’s my before and after pics, side by side:

FIRST ZONE: THE KITCHEN I feel like I’ve not done this in awhile…I waited quite awhile this summer before getting going on this (life happened)…and the past 2 years have not really happened gung ho. I’m DETERMINED to make this year’s GSPAC really COUNT! And I really want to blog

As I prepare to start yet another Great Summer Purge and Clean, I am reminded of the Flylady and her “shiny sink” philosophy… …and I went in search of a good article to refer people to about this philosophy… But I didn’t find anything that really resonated with

Today’s the day I finally sort out this year’s “Great Summer Purge and Clean”. I have had so much I have been working on already this summer, I haven’t had time to think much of this yet!! But I’m NOT ditching it! I’ve been thinking of switching tracks with

So my Purge and Clean is done for the summer….yes, I sucked at blogging about it…maybe I’ll drag out some more pics and blog some more about it soon, if I can find the time…but suffice it to say that I KICKED some serious BUTT on my house! I am VERY

Weeks 2 and 3 were The Kitchen…dun dun DUUUUUUUUNNNNNN!!! My kitchen was seriously TUH. RASHED! (trashed) It was. For real. I didn’t take any before pics. Intentionally. It was embarassing. Our family is horrible about cleaning up after ourselves in the kitchen, so it was gross, y’all. But I knew
Continue readingAt the same time that I am working on a new zone each week….I am working on a section of my yard every week…in 15min a day because it’s too flippin HOT to do any more (plus I seriously hate yard work, but I can talk myself into just doing

For anyone not familiar with my annual Purge and Clean, please visit this page for all the info. And read the start of this year here. So….to continue…..apparently I suck at throwing up pics as I go too….but I’ll keep trying….here’s the big post that I wanted to put up about
Continue readingBecause it takes so long for me to write stuff up sometimes and to edit pics with “before” and “after” captions…so much that I don’t post as often as I could…I’m going to try something new…I’m going to throw up pics as they are happening. Then maybe I’ll tie it
Continue readingI haven’t written in awhile because life got away from me for awhile there. But I’m getting back on track again, so I thought I’d update what I’ve been up to with my Great Summer Purge and Clean. Week 2 (Jun 6-13) I made a change in my plan because
Continue readingSo this week has been a bit of a wash in terms of my Purge and Clean. I may get out there today to accomplish something, but I have a podcast to produce that’s supposed to be out Saturday and I’ve not begun editing, so I may end up just
Continue readingWell the last day of the kitchen zone was highly successful! I didn’t think I had it in me, but I made it through transforming my grungy kitchen floor into a clean floor! Also cleared and scrubbed our kitchen table, which I had cleared off earlier in the week but
