Press Release Summary: In Part Two of Organizing Your Kitchen, we'll take a look at
the next round of steps to create a kitchen you're proud of!

Press Release Body: Arguably, the kitchen is the heart of the home. We cook there,
eat there (hopefully as a family), entertain there, chat at the table, do homework,
and any number of other family-related things. A disorganized kitchen discourages us
from doing the above; we don't want to cook and eating will likely then take place
in front of the TV. We don't want to entertain others or sit and chat because the
clutter distracts us and makes us feel ashamed of not keeping things in better
order. So let's get to it!

Please understand that this room CANNOT be done in one day or in one chunk of time.
I'm willing to bet it took more than one day for your kitchen to look the way it
does-so it will take more than one day to un-do it. Be patient and attack these
different tasks in small chunks of time-small steps! You'll find that as each one is
done that you'll be motivated to do another and another. And then when it's all
done, you'll not want to mess it up, and so be motivated to keep it organized! Oh
happy day!

1) Unload your dishwasher. If your dishwasher is full of clean dishes and not put
away, you won't have a place to put your dirty dishes as you clean up. If you don't
have a dishwasher, take a look at your sink. If you've got clean dishes in your dish
rack, put them away now. Then move your dish rack to the counter and put an empty
dishpan under the sink. You'll see why as we keep going.

2) Take a look at your countertops. Are they piled high with papers, dishes (dirty),
and appliances (some you haven't used in weeks or months)? Are they stained
(underneath the stuff on them)? Let's clear off one countertop at a time. Pick your
smallest one and clear everything off. Put it on a table or other surface where you
can go through the things. Put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher (or dishpan under
your sink), go through the papers (junk mail = trash can, bills go to the study,
etc.). Put the other miscellaneous things you've found in separate piles to be
schlepped to the appropriate rooms where they belong. Then look at the naked
countertop. Take a cleaner of your choice (I love the Lysol disinfecting wipes, but
you could use a spray cleaner, a bleach cleaner, or simple window cleaner) and a rag
and start wiping from back to front. Sweep the crumbs in to the garbage can. Now put
only the things which are *necessary* back on the counter. That means no excess
paperwork, no hair bows, etc. If you need space for a coffee maker or other small
appliance, you now have it!

3) Move to the next counter and repeat the same steps as above.

to create a kitchen you're proud of!
