Homemaking is whatever you make of it. Every day brings satisfaction along with some work which may be frustrating, routine, and unchallenging. But it is the same in the law office, the dispensary, the laboratory, or the store. There is, however, no more important job than homemaking. As C.S. Lewis said, "A housewife's work... is the one for which all others exist."

Unwrap your Smile

I have found that it greatly irritates me when I run out of something, especially when I have just been to the store and could've picked up the offending item while I was out.

However, if I unwrap things then I can easily see how much I have left and can make sure I never run out.

Another plus to unwrapping your everyday paper products and diapers is you can fit a lot more of them into a space. This is very handy if you have a small space to work with. If you look at the picture, you can see that I fit an entire box of diapers on one small shelf. I made one giant-sized package of toilet paper fit on another, and worked a whole lot of paper towels onto the bottom. That's an abundance of stuff in one small space!

The last benefit of unwrapping is the way it looks. I think it is more aesthetically pleasing when you store your paper products and other items in their purest form. And since mine are stored on open shelving in my laundry room, it is even more important that everything look nice and clean as guests pass by on their way to the bathroom.

What can you unwrap today?
