I'll be back

In the spirit of this post...

I'll be back in a couple of hours with a kitchen tip for Tuesday. And it won't be about how to stay on top of the dishes. I may need to re-think my once-a-day dishes plan. It hasn't been working as well as it used to...

A quiet house, some good music, and work to be done -- work symbolizing purpose, direction, and blessings. :)

Can you believe that?! Three hours?! And I'm still not really done... I'll have to have the boys help me in the morning when they get up. :) The dishes are done but there's still other stuff that needs picked up. :)

as a mom of 5 kids (in 5 years) my tip would be do it immediatly. It will be less work that keeping this big amount of dirty dishes that gets us depressed!

And if you can, have a dish washer. There you will put everything in it and it will really be such a big help!

I have it going once a day in the afternoon and have someone to help empty it before the evening meal.
That way they can all help to put things away in it after every each meal. It is really a must and a huge help when you have many children!

Funny how they pile up so quickly, isn't it? The older the children get the more the dishes seem to increase. I'm lucky enough to have a dishwasher and children old enough to rinse, load, wash, and put away dishes. But when mine were younger and I didn't have a dishwasher my sink and counters looked just like that more often than I care to admit! :o)
