INSIDE: HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GAS STOVE IN 6 EASY STEPS (AND IN 30 MINUTES OR LESS!) FIRST STEP – don’t make a mess! Seriously, don’t cook and you won’t have to worry about it.

How to Clean Your Fridge
INSIDE: HOW TO CLEAN AND ORGANIZE YOUR FRIDGE If the center of the house is the kitchen, then center of the kitchen is the fridge. And sometimes it makes me want to sing, “It must have been love…but it’s over now….” So let’s talk about how to clean your fridge! I’ve seen people put contact paper on their shelves, but what happens when that gets icky? Another idea I saw on Pinterest was Peel-n-stick plastic wrap on the shelves. Have you ever tried that??

INSIDE: COME SEE HOW WE DECORATED AN HERB-INFUSED DINING ROOM – TO BRING THE OUTDOORS IN A few years ago, my Mother’s Day present was all the down stairs walls got painted. The dining room got a dark gray. Darker then all the other rooms. And because of the large window facing west, it looks a lot darker than we thought it would. I love it though. It has a green tint to it and it flows so well with the rest of the house. SO – when deciding how to decorate this room, I started with that green tint and started exploring.
