Week Two

My mom had Julia Child and ‘The Fannie Farmer Cookbook’ on top of the refrigerator,

and she had a small repertoire of French dishes.

There is something so personal about a refrigerator. It not only houses the foods we love and enjoy, keeping veggies crisp and milk cold it many times holds our children’s art, photos of interesting cars and comics and coupon clippins from the Sunday paper.   It is as unique as the personality of our family. The one common ground that all refrigerators hold is that they get pretty messy on the inside despite how careful we are to wipe up spills as we go.

Today we are tackling the refrigerator!

Let’s Get Started:

Simple Daily Challenge – 100 points!

1. Empty the all contents of refrigerator/freezer and please throw away the old and icky stuff.
2. Wipe down shelves with a damp microfiber towel or scrub it with a bit of baking soda and a scratch-proof sponge, then rinse with clean water.
3. Dry the shelves with a clean cloth.
4. Replace items in a logical order. (my personal weak spot)
5. Give the front of the refrigerator a good cleaning with a cleaning product that matches the material on the outside paying particular attention to the handles because they get pretty gross.
6.  You may need to defrost the freezer, if so then schedule this in on a day you make time for the entire process.
