Ah, the utensil drawer… as is obvious, mine needed some serious help!
I pulled everything out and wiped it out.
Much, much better!
I found a few utensil that were extras and that I no longer needed. I also found two sweaters to stick in the Goodwill pile.

I’m honored to be guest-posting over on Andrea Dekker’s blog today sharing 5 Tips for Better Time Management. Here’s a snippet of the post:
Time…
It's something we all have the same amount of, but something that very few of us feel like we have enough of.
With three children and a successful (and ever-growing) home business, I've learned quite a few different tips and tricks that have helped me to be more productive and efficient over the years.
Here are five of my top tips for better time management:
I include everything on this plan — from showering to making dinner to homeschooling to work projects. I try to cover all of the bases and leave 2 hours of margin time for those inevitable interruptions.
I just realized I forgot to post about my recent Freezer Cooking in an Hour session! As happens often, I had a very willing and eager helper!
We mixed up the Cornmeal Pancakes together. I was surprised that the recipe didn’t call for any sweetener! Despite that, I thought these turned out really well. They were beautiful pancakes with a great texture.
Then, I supervised while Silas helped make some of his own pancake creations. He had so much fun — and he kept excitedly telling me what shape each one was. It cracked me up what he came up with — from a rocket to an elephant and more!
Oh, how I love this boy! He is not only so precious, but he guarantees that there’s never a dull moment at our house.
I also mixed up a batch of our favorite Homemade Pizza Dough. This is SUCH a great recipe. If you’ve not tried it before, you must. The best part about it is that it freezes so well!
The Cinnamon Sugar Oven Pancake was sadly disappointing. It just didn’t taste all that delicious. I guess that’s maybe because I much prefer traditional pancakes?
