Do you ever feel like you just can not keep up with the dishes? I know I do. I am actually having on of those days today. I have always tried to make sure that I run the dishwasher before we go to bed so that when I wake up in the morning I can just put them away and start fresh. Well last night I guess I forgot. So which means I had to run it then run another load yet my sink is still full because to day is bread baking and snack baking day. I just hate the feeling that I get when I look over and see my sink full. I know I know I could go do them by hand. But since it is winter time and the air is so dry out right now it hurts so much and I get a rash on my hands. I guess I could go buy some gloves but I forget them each time I am at the store.

So how do we get our kitchen sinks to be like this more often? This is one of my daily goals I have. This is what I do that helps me keep my sink clean.

1)Well first of all you need to get them all done and start there.

2) If you have a dishwasher make sure that when it finishes empty it out. That way when you have a dirty dish rinse it right then and there. Or if you have children that are old enough train them to do this when they dirty a dish. So then when it is full just press start.

3) Like I said before make sure to run the dishwasher before you go to bed. I do this even if it is not completely full I still run it. Then when you get up put them away and start your day.

Now if you don’t have a dishwasher or like me when mine has been not working. I well do the same but instead of rinsing and putting them in the dishwasher I rinse then and put them in the other sink. Then after the meals and sometimes in-between I wash them. Then at night make sure to wash and let dry and put them away in the morning.

I hope this helps or just gives you boost with a fresh idea to help you get to spend more time with your wonderful blessings God gave you, and with a little less stress.

  God Bless,

I had just finished mixing up some dough for some bread and rolls so it is rising in the bowl here. I was able to buy the professional model too!

Then here is my long time awaited grain mill. I have a hand crank one but I am just not able to make everything with fresh grain because the hand crank one was just too hard on my shoulder. But I love my mill it works so fast, cleans up with just a shake, and there is no dust flying around while it is running!

Here it is put together. This lid comes off after and you snap it on the man part to store it and then it comes with another lid that you use to store your fresh ground flour in, I store mine in the freeze to keep it fresh.

This is the hopper it holds a lot of grain.

I am so happy that I was able to buy these 2 things. They have both made my life so much easier. Every time I use them I think of my wonderful husband. If he is here I make sure to tell him thank you. This may sound silly but I do. When I am able to have something that makes my life just a little easier and helps me save time it makes me so happy.

  God Bless,
