Week 4 – Organize Magazine Rack and Clean Microwave

There was a time in my not so distant past that my microwave oven looked like a crime scene.  My kids use the microwave regularly, and I told them and expected them to clean up behind themselves.  But if you have ever spent any time with a 13-year-old, you know that they often forget or don’t hear everything you say.  In turn, the microwave would go weeks if not months before it was cleaned.

I decided to give up on my teens cleaning it after every use.  I decided to add it to my list of things I do once a month.  Since I do have things that I do once a month, there are weeks when I have to do multiple things.  That sucks!  But what I have found is that most jobs are pretty simple and if done regularly, go by quickly.

I have 2 things on my list this week.  Organize my magazine rack and clean the microwave.  The magazine rack is scheduled to get cleaned/organized once a year.  I’ll go into my steps on going through it on another date.  Below is how it looks today.

Yup, we are a family of magazine hoarders
