That's what I love so much about inter-generational mixes!Alicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973714830730420149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-13184401468126557692017-03-08T13:01:03.677-05:002017-03-08T13:01:03.677-05:00I read your blog most days but rarely post. So her...I read your blog most days but rarely post. So here goes - I loved the tips. I need to get back to making soup on a regular basis. I,too, use the insides of my two upper cabinet doors. I found a contact paper like product at Home Depot that is like chalkboard. I can write on it with chalk and absolutely love it. It was in the wallpaper section. I'm not sure why I was looking there one day, but I'm glad I found it. Love being able to jot down favorite recipes without having the clutter of bits of paper.<br />A friend's mom had the best idea. She had a huge window behind her kitchen sink. Each half of the window had a roller blind. When the blind was pulled down, you could read a neatly printed recipe. One for her biscuits and one for her cobbler recipe. She explained that she used one or the other almost daily and just got tired of pulling out the recipe each day. <br />Thought I'd share.

And this post reminds me, I need to get back into the habit of keeping a list of what's in the freezers so I use it up. Sounds like a good weekend project!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879162672311458964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-68150439919892361602017-03-07T20:14:36.075-05:002017-03-07T20:14:36.075-05:00I really liked this post.

I'm always curious about how people manage their homes, but not because I'm nosy. I know there is something to learn from most women, especially the seasoned homemakers. How nice it was that she invited you over and shared her wisdom with you in such a friendly manner.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319295883808264474noreply@blogger.com
