Tackle It Tuesday #1

This is the first time I've participated in Tackle It Tuesday. I'm typically of the mind that everything I do in my home in the evenings is tackling something. It's just not worthy of sharing with others. But as I read more about the purpose of this meme, "...I need some blogging incentive to get back in control of my house..." I realized - I need that, too. So here we go. My first official "Tackle It" project. It may look small, but trust me - this was gross.

I chose to clean off the top of my fridge. Why? It's just one of those areas I don't clean. Ever.

Before:

Doesn't look bad, right? But do you see that, oh, inch or so of space between the underside of the cabinet and the top of the fridge? GA-ROSS. I took a sponge and wiped in there and I almost barfed. In fact, I was so distracted by the grossness that I didn't take a picture.

And look what else I found up there:

A bag of bullets. Because, why wouldn't there be a bag of bullets on top of my refridgerator? Don't you have a ziploc baggie of (what I'm guessing are) 9mm cartridges on top of your fridge?


Here's the after. I used my new Simply Safe cleaner (which works very well, smells great, costs just about as much as regular cleaners and I can buy at my local grocery store). And BONUS! Maybe the 3-yr-old won't be eating jelly beans for breakfast this morning, now that his Easter basket is out of reach!
