Clean dishes, clear counter. At least, that's how it's supposed to work! ;)

I've probably mentioned this before, but I always try to have my dishes washed before I go to bed. (I wash them by hand.) That way, they can air dry in the drainer on my counter over night. (No towel-drying = more free time!)

In the morning, I can quickly put away the dry dishes, stash my drainer under the sink, and have a clear counter for a while. When it was just Joshua and me, the "clear counter" part lasted almost all day. Now, it doesn't last long at all, but it's still a great motivator to keep the kitchen clean! :)

So, anyway, that's what helps me keep on top of the dishes somewhat! :)

Next week, let's all ask for help on kitchen-related issues, okay? I have a question I've been meaning to ask for advice about! :)
