• Sep. 23, 2007 - Small things that bring happiness

Posted in Homemaking
Sometimes a very small thing can bring big happiness.  Or big convenience.  Or both.

I've complained a lot about the kitchen in my new house.  The sink setup is pretty dippy.  It's a double sink, but both are small and they occupy a corner.  And, there is little counter space (8.3 linear feet - I measured - in 4 separate chunks) which doesn't leave much room for my drainer.  Even with a dishwasher I do a lot of handwashing, and since I hate to dry dishes, I like my drainer.  It was a dilemma - counter space, or drainer?

Enter a small thing that brought much happiness:  my $3.99 "double sink drainer."   This little wonder has made dishwashing and food prep much easier.   It also helps my kitchen look nicer because the draining dishes are somewhat hidden in the sink, not in full view on the counter. 

I never knew such a thing existed before I discovered I needed one! 

What small thing has brought you happiness?  Or convenience?  Or both?   It doesn't have to be something you bought.   But I bet we all have some small thing that has made life easier or more pleasant in one way or another.

As you know I have a huge kitchen but I still have the double sink drainer in my sink. I've always had one and I have no idea how I'd get by without it.

My last little purchase makes me happy. Actually its hubbys purchase. He bought me a mini bookshelf CD player and radio. The kids have the big turntable CD player loaded down with their CD's all the time. So now I finally can play my own Cd's again!
