Out with the old...

In the spirit of re-organizing the kitchen I decided to wash my amber glass jars in the dishwasher to give them a little pick me up. 

Well, when I opened the dishwasher the amber coating on the large jar had washed off somewhat. 

Now, I can't have the jars looking so tacky. 

So, with a few Brillo pads, warm soapy water and a little elbow grease,

 I've got myself new jars!

Amber glass jars before



I washed the jars in the dishwasher first to sanitize and to get a good clean.  I then used a Scotch bright Brillo pad with warm soapy water to scrub the jar.  You have to use a little elbow grease to get the coating off. 

 

Clear glass jars after



I refilled the jars with corn meal, sugar, and flour and they are complete!
Now, that's what I call
Recycle, Renew, Reuse, and Re-purpose!

A Valentines gift from my mom speaks LOUDLY to me

Operation Organization

Operation organization ihair full effect. As a stay at home mom now I've come to appreciate a well organized home. Well, I'm not there yet, but I'm getting there, one room at a time. I get my inspiration from other fellow bloggers. I like to "steal" their ideas and apply them to my life. so far I've organized my kitchen and now onto the office. Pictures to follow soon. Being organized helps with everyday life, makes it easier to function. Cleanliness is next to Godliness! Right.

junk drawer
