I like to keep my kitchen tidy and clean, but I'm not obsessed with it anymore. I can leave a few plates and cups until the next morning - I do rinse them though and pile them up. I have this beautiful old ceramic jar standing there, where I put cutlery in, and later I wash it all. I don't have a dishwasher.

I HATE ANYTHING LEFT IN THE SINK!!

My mom would have NOTHING sitting in the kitchen that was not clean - and not a crumb anywhere!

When I have time, I like to empty out the cupbourds and clean it all (did half of them recently), that also give me the benefit of remembering where everything is.
