In this episode, I’m sharing 10 things that help me keep my kitchen mostly clean on a fairly regular basis. Maybe you’ll find an idea or two that will work in your home or you’ll be inspired to notice the rhythms you already have in place without realizing it.

We need to be flexible with both our plans and ourselves. Today, I’m going to give some ideas on how to approach both.
