Celebrating Housework: small Tasks - BIG Effort

YEESH!!! It's amazing how much effort is involved in doing routine housework with an infant in the house. you have to time it just right as well as get things done in a finite amount of time. (Time between feedings is NOT negotiable from Angela's point of view).

Here I am celebrating reorganizing 1 cupboard in the kitchen. I decided that today, I would tackle the plastic containers cupboard by the dishwasher. This became priority #1 as I needed small containers (REALLY small) for formula powder to take on outings. I didn't realize until today how many containers we had. WOW! All recyclable. I had the opportunity to recycle a dozen containers AND got all the rest to fit into 6 stacks. BOO-YAH! Brassington pack-rat'ish-ness BE GONE! :)

You may think it sounds crazy to celebrate this but I am a firm believer in "If you celebrate the small stuff, the big stuff happens". This may seem incredibly small to many of you but to me, it's a big thing. So celebrate something today and share it with someone! (Any size will do).
