At some point I realized I was kind of going in inefficient circles with cleaning tasks around the home. The kitchen was getting a thorough cleaning twice a week while the dining room went two weeks without being touched. I would take out the vacuum and hit the whole downstairs but clean nothing else that day. I’d wash towels three times a week but our clothing would pile up in the laundry basket. I realized this was not a good was to keep a home clean nor the best use of my time, so I decided to create a weekly cleaning rhythm and see if that would help…and I’m never turning back!

We haven’t done one of these in a while! Here are some updates and random things going on with us!

Today’s waste less post is all about the tare weight jars! I LOVE these things for several reasons. 1. You can bring these directly to a food store that offers self-serve bulk food. Since the weight is printed on the jar there’s no pre-weighing. Fill ‘em up and bring them home to store in your pantry! 2. They make it SO easy to see what you have and what you need more of ahead of time. So not only are you wasting less in terms of packaging, but it also helps with food waste. No more bags/boxes of food pushed to the back and forgotten about until it’s too late and expired! 3. They keep your pantry looking neat and orderly!
