Of all of my daily housework tasks, I enjoy cleaning the kitchen the most. It's not my favorite thing to do but washing pots and pans, scrubbing the counter, soaking dishes and sweeping is made much more enjoyable when surrounded by pretty things and good music.

I fell in love with this dish drainer at World Market yesterday.


My kitchen cleaning music is always She and Him on Pandora Radio. I love it- it's so happy!

I always use lemon dish soap. When I was 4, I had a little play kitchen that I would use to wash my dishes after a tea party. Mom would always let me put a  little soapy water in the sink and it was usually lemon scented.
