Oh, I tried to edit my other comment, but YT wouldn't let me. I just want to also say I NEVER EVER thought of putting little place cloths on the refrigerator shelves--GENIUS! What a great idea! 🧡

[@seekingtruth1110]

Don't. It will limit your fridge to be able to cool the way it's meant to. It will cost more money and can affect your fridge in the long run. It's very cute but not a good idea.

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

@@seekingtruth1110Absolutely not a good idea it will ruin your refrigerator

So here is the deal i've been doing this for 36 years I have glass refrigerator shelves it makes absolutely no difference and I've never had an issue with it

What a lovely box of gifts! Tawra from Living on a Dime keeps a tree up in her house and decorates it for different seasons and holidays. It's so fun to see how it changes throughout the year so I think you would have fun decorating that little tree, and it is so cute being tucked into the corner like it is.

[@lindamendenhall1797]

[@rachaelsupadventures]

I like your dryer thing for your baggies. That is very clever! When my children were little I would do that with their toys as well. I would go through and discard anything broken or missing pieces and swap out for another box. I also did this with my decorations. I have clear totes so I can see what is in each thing. At my old house we had a basement so out of season clothes were downstairs and the rest in our bedroom. It really helps eliminate clutter and it freshens up the house when you switch out your decor!

[@debbiecarper1232]

First thing I stopped the video when you were washing the dishes. and saw the rack for drying plastic bags and bottles. I never knew what to do with them to dry them quickly. Now, problem solved. Loved all the gifts you received and I laughed about the tree you want to decorate each month. My 45 year old son wants me to do the same thing. I also love the box idea. I did it for things like Easter and Christmas, but a Spring box sounds like a great idea too.

Actually, it's not a good idea to cover your fridge shelves. By doing so you limit air flow around the product decreasing the cooling effects of the refrigerator and it makes it work harder. Just some well given advice.

[@judywankel5276]

Hi there. I thought that with the shelves being glass, that it would be ok. I can see if the shelves are the metal racks, it might impede the air flow.
