I have a large kitchen with lots of great counters and I love it! But just because it’s big, doesn’t mean that I can keep it clean. Sometimes I walk through the kitchen and feel overwhelmed by the mess. Last week, I walked through and laughed about it, so I took pictures to share.
This is where all the rags go when they’re wet or gooey or otherwise dirty.
The garbage can is small and we keep it on the counter where dogs and young children don’t dump it. Between two boys in diapers (Ages almost 6 and almost 10), it is usually full.
Behind the sink I found two different science projects waiting to be reviewed.
My kids cook their own lunches… that’s where the noodles came from. They also load the dishwasher. Brian and I are in charge of handwashing. Which does not get done daily.
These grapes have been on the counter too long. They’re spoiling already.
I’m thawing out Jordan and Daniel’s soup for the next day…. it’s carrot soup and tomato soup… see the nifty letters I wrote on the yogurt tubs?
Beetles… both the living and the dead. On my kitchen counter.
I decided to propagate my Christmas Cactus and some of Brian’s Aloe. In my nice pyrex pan. I don’t know what I was thinking. I hope it washes.
This is the counter where we put dishes that are waiting to be washed.
So for some inexplicable reason, this time the disaster made me smile instead of groan. Lots of life in this house!
