Do you have a junk drawer in your kitchen? Me, too. I love this quote from Simple Country Wisdom, “Every kitchen needs a junk drawer, but it doesn’t have to be junky. Use expandable dividers to organize and separate items. What’s the point of having a really good stash of junk if you can’t find [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
May 24th, 2011 | Tags: homemaking, homemaking tip | Category: Uncategorized | 10 comments My husband worked 45 hours of overtime in the last two weeks, taking only Sundays off. We were glad to have him home today, even though most of the day was spent mowing.
The mower was in the shop for a couple of weeks, but we’re glad it’s back. The spring rains have [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!

Though our days may be crazy busy and unusually full, our families and homes still need us. So, how do we look well to our households during [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
May 7th, 2011 | Tags: homemaking, looking well | Category: Uncategorized | 3 comments I just realized that it has been almost a year since I wrote “The Pantry” article for my Less Than Perfect Kitchen Series (scroll down a bit on the side bar to find the series). The most beautiful pantry I have ever seen is found is Ruth’s, at Warm Pie, Happy Home. Wow! This sort of pantry [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
April 19th, 2008 | Tags: homemaking, less than perfect kitchen, pantry | Category: Uncategorized | 2 comments I read this on someone’s blog recently, “In Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, Jeremiah Burroughs said, “The way to be rich is not by increasing wealth, but by diminishing our desires.”. Dream if you will, but what you must do is learn to work with what you’ve got.” Oh, yeah! That was my blog, huh? [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!

Now that I’ve shared with you what I did in my own home to make my less-than-perfect kitchen function better for me, I hope I’ve inspired you to think of ways to make your own kitchen more efficient for you. There are some things that you can do to make the planning unique [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
February 14th, 2007 | Tags: homemaking, less than perfect kitchen | Category: Uncategorized | Leave a comment I am blessed to have quite a bit of storage space in my kitchen. The fact that it is poorly arranged is something, as you’ve seen, that I’ve been able to work around. Once I had the major components of my kitchen arranged (baking center, beverage center, food preparation area, etc.), I was able to [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
February 13th, 2007 | Tags: homemaking, less than perfect kitchen | Category: Uncategorized | Leave a comment One of the things that motivated me most to re-work my kitchen was my desire to have an efficient baking center. I had, over the course of the first few years we lived in this house, tried to establish a baking center in a couple of different areas. None of these really worked because [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
February 12th, 2007 | Tags: homemaking, less than perfect kitchen | Category: Uncategorized | Leave a comment Well, if she keeps her pots and pans under and around her sink, and if she uses the cabinet over the dishwasher for her baking center, then where do the dishes go?
Good question! I did, of course, still need a place for our everyday dishes. It needed to be not [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
February 12th, 2007 | Tags: homemaking, less than perfect kitchen | Category: Uncategorized | Leave a comment If I keep my pots, pans and frying pans under my kitchen sink, then where, pray tell, would I keep the items that are *supposed* to go in and around the sink?
Again, I studied how I used my kitchen for a week or so. Where did we make coffee and tea? Where [...] God bless you as you look well to the ways of your household!
