Sink Reflections

I'm always wanting to keep my home clean. It's not dirty, but with a family of 6 it's not easy to keep it orderly and there seems to be clutter in lots of spots. I've been working on cleaning up spots a little at a time and then just managing them while they're clean. It's been working, but can be better.
For my book club this month, we have been asked to read "Sink Reflections" by Marla Cilley. She has great ideas on how to have an easily managed and clean home that takes only a little amount of time, and how it promotes a happy home. In her book (and also on her website http://www.flylady.net/) she says to start with a clean sink. A really clean sink, one that you can see your reflection in, hence the title. I've been cleaning up parts of the house and decluttering, but I've neglected to start with the sink. I have been trying to keep the kitchen clean and dishes washed right away, so it's looked ok, but I finally cleaned the sink (bleach, ajax, windex, and all!)! I wanted to post a picture because I just love the look of it. I think she was right, when you have accomplished cleaning your sink and can see your reflection (I tried, but I don't think I can really see my reflection, I understand the concept though) you want everything else to look good too.


Dan even commented on how nice it was and that it would be a shame to get it dirty, so he's going to try to keep it clean too. On to the rest of the house!
