Now I have a clean landing, no swim diapers, 2 napping children, one screaming infant and 1 1/2 hours until we head off to the pool.

Reading blogs can be addictive and time consuming. I am learning that it can also be motivating and provocative. Last month, the Organizing Junkie challenged folks to organize their kitchen.

Now I can just pull out the container and spot my spice of choice – no hunting! I LOVE this! I think I’ll go whip up something spicy . . .
