Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Do you have some science experiments growing in your refrigerator? Spend 15 minutes today tossing the science experiments. Do this before you make your grocery list, so you know what you are out of. I typically clean my fridge out on Friday mornings before I make my grocery list, but if we have had a busy week, I will also have a quick toss on a different day of the week. For instance, we had a busy weekend and had some take out food. So I made sure we either ate the leftovers, or I tossed them today. This helps me to know what is actually in my refrigerator. I will say that with 3 teenage boys in my house, we do not toss a lot of food. They are pretty good at keeping the food eaten in the house. Some weeks, I am using freezer meals and canned vegetables because they have eaten through the fresh veggies before grocery day. Set your timer and start tossing!
Enjoy your day!
