I’m so sentimental too and hold on to things people give me... I was having a hard decluttering recently and my mom told me “your getting rid of an item, not of the person who gave it to you” made a HUGE impact on the way I clean and declutter

Girl your channel is a breath of fresh air on KZbin! So real and not trying to portray a perfect life

[@marilyncausey9348]

The easiest way I've found to clean a microwave is to start by nuking a cup of water with lemon juice in it until it's good and steamy. I usually do 5-6 minutes in my microwave. Then, you can continue with the wash and wipe as usual, you just won't have to scrub because of the steam bath you just gave it.

[@geraldinelucas3143]

This is the way I do it as well the steam loosens all of the stuck on stuff.

[@colleenw5260]

Best way !! I always have that 1 or 2 lemons, limes or clementines in the back of the draw that is sad lol. Time to clean the microwave! And wait until the kids are all teens and microwaving their own stuff , it gets worse 🙄😉😁

Even just water works, or water with a splash of vinegar. I hate wasting lemons. Maybe lemons shells, but I don’t love my microwave enough to sacrifice a fresh lemon to it.

[@michellebiggerstaff6841]

When my kids were younger, we said the house was "lived in." I've never "child proofed" my house, or anything. They lived. Now, they're 26, 24, and 17. Love, make messes, clean messes, and enjoy. That's my motto.

[@annjohnson543]

Here's a tip for cleaning the microwave, Kim. Especially when stuff is really stuck on. Put about a cup of water in a microwave safe measuring cup and heat for two minutes. Do not open the door, let it sit there for a good five minutes or more if needed. When you open the door some of the crud will have been softened by the steam and will wipe off much easier.

[@jonap5740]

Also works if you put in a wet facecloth and heat for a minute or so.

[@mommingwithmegan8385]

Microwave tip- put water in a glass measuring cup (around a cup maybe) then put approximately 2 Tbsp Lemon juice. Heat about a minute or two. This steams the entire inside and SOFTENS everything!! Wipe it off right away and it’s so easy!!! 🤯

[@sharonhazlewood9507]

I keep my garbage bags for the bathroom under the current bag I'm using ! So handy and one less thing to go on a search for and my people are more likely to put in a new bag when they see them there . My microwave hack is to heat water in an heavy glass measuring cup in the microwave for 3 minutes then leave in closed for 5-10 mins. All things crusty are then soft and just wipe out easily. You are so fun to " be friends" with and I enjoy you living mom's life and doing all the things. My kids are in their 40's so be encouraged. You'll never get it all " done" but you'll get there.

[@bri-crossing]

[@SFN_Movies13]

What I thought when you opened the microwave was: "That's not that bad. Mine has been WAY worse." Then, I proceeded to love you even more for showing us the crap that NO other KZbin Mommy vlogger will. You are a mirror image of ALL of us and we LOVE you for it, Kim. We love you for being a woman we can actually relate to but also aspire to be like. You're the perfect representation of the Momma I try to be every day.

Hey Kim , with painting the table , If you don’t want your table to chip and easy to clean , try oil based paint, it’s longer lasting and gives your furniture glossy finish. The only downside is that dry down time is normally 12 hours and the smell is strong , so best to paint outside . You only need two coats of paint let it dry completely. And voila ,

Easy way to clean a dirty microwave is to fill a mug of water with a splash or two of white vinegar and turn it on for 3 minutes. Then you remove the mug and it helps break up anything stuck one. Then you clean it with what ever products you typically use!! It’s a lifesaving hack! With wanting to up cycle furniture like your desk if you give it a good sanding then paint it should help with repainting!

For the kids art, I'd invest in Da Vinci frames (they're on amazon) - it's a single frame that will let you store up to 50 (i think) pages of art per frame. So you'd get one frame per kid, and then add the art as they create them, and the newest art is always displayed, and the art isn't lost, hidden or thrown away. I'm getting my mother and mother in law these for Christmas, and I have one myself. :)

Thanks for an enjoyable Sunday morning while I drink my coffee and work on my Quarantine Elf on a Shelf for my classroom! My microwave gets that nasty too and I use cleaning vinegar. I fill a 2 C measuring cup, put it in the microwave for 3 minutes and set a timer for 20 minutes. When I come back, I open the microwave and set the timer for 5 minutes - this lets the strong vinegar smell dissipate. Then I come back with a cotton dish cloth and wipe it down quickly and easily.
