Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Today we are going to spend 15 minutes cleaning out under the kitchen sink. If you have a lot of stuff under that, it might take more than one 15-minute session. Have a trash can handy because you will likely find things under your kitchen sink that just need to be thrown away. Look at this as a 27-Fling Boogie Mission. If you have not used it in years, throw it out. You don’t need to keep hanging on to it. If this is where you store cleaning supplies, be careful of how you dispose of them. I want you to have an organized area under your sink, so you know what you have and what you need.
