Welcome to a whole new chapter in Kashering Your Life. This is a group project so I have started a Facebook group called ‘We’re Getting Sorted’. Here’s what it’s all about.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/gettingsorted For those of you who have been reading my blog, especially the “About Me’ page, you will see that decluttering my house has […]

I love Jamie Oliver!  I find his recipes easy to follow and they work out for me every time, even when I have to alter ingredients to make it kosher. Jamie Oliver over the last few years has become passionate, not only about his cooking but about cooking healthy food and reducing obesity in children. […]

I don’t know about you but I have enough gadgets and recipe books in my kitchen to start a restaurant! What do we really need? Now, if you are kosher, just double up! Obviously, you will need plates to eat off and your usual cutlery and crockery. In the kitchen though, the first thing to […]

Today I am looking for presents, that don’t cost the earth, for you to give your friends and family for Xmas. Do you have a particular skill? It doesn’t have to be related to your work, if you are working. For years we have struggled financially and in 2010 I suddenly needed about 15 gifts […]

I know I do it and my mother does it! In fact, I think most people do it when they are planning big events like birthday parties, year end functions, just about any event where you will have 10 or more people in attendance. Restaurants do it or they go out of business! I am so excited. […]

Recently, on a Facebook group, there was a question from a new mom on how she is supposed to keep her house clean with a new baby and she wondered how others did it. The answers ranged from, – ‘you don’t ‘, to things like “less sleep” or,” get a cleaning service”. These were all […]

This week we are cleaning our bathrooms. How often do you clean the outside of your toilet? How often do you wash your shower curtain? The bathroom is an important room in the house and often goes by the name throne room or reading room, I have also heard it referred to as the thinking […]

In the past I have covered cleaning the Entrance hall and dining room, the lounge and the kitchen. This week I am looking at the bedrooms. I have a large house with enough bedrooms for everyone, yet my two youngest, LB and AT, insist on sharing! So now we also have a playroom and a […]

Scurryfunge- A hasty tidying of the house between the time you see neighbour and the time he/she knocks on the door. Taken from John Gould’s Maine Lingo: Boiled Owls, Billdads, and Wazzats, 1975 Are you one of these people? I was, out of necessity, now life is much less stressful. I used to run around in […]
