Day 14

Happy Valentine's Day:)

I'm going to spend the morning in the kitchen baking some Valentine scones to take into work this afternoon. And a banana cream pie for my favorite Valentine. Tonight, we'll order a heart-shaped pizza (my choice) have some wine, and watch a movie on Netflix (also my choice, although I haven't decided which sweet, romantic comedy it will be). 

My efforts toward simplicity this month have been slow, but steady. And, I'm happy to say that the areas I've worked on so far have stayed nice and tidy. While working in the kitchen this morning, I'll take an extra 10 minutes to tackle the lower corner cabinet. It has a turnstile with two shelves, and things tend to get piled up in the back. My give-away box is slowly filling up, so perhaps I can add a few things to it.

This task is #5 on the list of 25 Ways to Simplify Your Life in 10 Minutes or Less. I'm sure I'll be coming back to it a couple of more times in the next two weeks. There are so many areas in my kitchen that I can spend 10 minutes on. 

I'm halfway through the Write28Days challenge!

  1. Your Valentine's Day celebrations sound lovely, Karen. How kind and thoughtful of you to make the heart-shaped scones to work today. :) I just finished putting the filling in the Whoopie Pies that I made for my favorite Valentine. He has declared them good! :) We will go out for our evening meal but not to a fancy schmancy restaurant but to a diner that serves good home-cooked meals. Then it will be home for our movie watching date. ;)

    My next endeavor in the kitchen is to be the same cabinet you are working in today. I am looking for ways to make some room on those two shelves for some of the things that clutter the counter so it will require so thinking beforehand. I'd really like to accomplish that tomorrow, but I'll see how it goes.
