Being a school teacher makes it hard to do “spring cleaning” around the house, so I usually end up doing that during the summer.  I have a whole list of things I want to do such as cleaning out all four walk-in closets, cleaning out drawers, organizing my kitchen better (probably should check out knives and see if I need blade sharpening), and giving away a bunch of things to a thrift store that benefits a children’s home.   I’ve already done a little “summer cleaning” such as cleaning windows, but I have a long way to go on my list.  Summers always fly by, so I plan to seriously start working on my list this next week.

When we go on long trips, I take my memory foam chair cushion.  This really helps my lower back on a long road trip.  This type of chair cushion is also good for elderly people who sit a lot, maybe all day.

Now that I’m thinking about comfortable chair cushions, wouldn’t these type of chair cushions be wonderful to use in the kitchen at the breakfast table.  They could be covered with cute cushion covers, ones that could easily be removed for washing.  The problem with that, though, is that the chairs would be so comfortable that people might not want to leave the table but keep sitting there longer instead.

My husband is so good at fixing things around the house!   Once, he repaired our washing machine by getting some appliance repair parts.  He’s repaired and replaced faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms, plus he installed an Insinkerator Garbage Disposal.  When we were at my mother-in-law’s house recently, he repaired the plumbing under her kitchen sink.  All of a sudden, we were without hot water in the kitchen, and hot water is a necessity in the kitchen.  We were so thankful he knew how to work on the plumbing!
