PLUS: 7 things in your pantry that should actually go in your fridge May 29, 2022 [View Online]( TOGETHER WITH [Wren]( Good morning! While I generally prefer to “wing it” with chores, that approach makes it difficult to remember what's done and what still needs doing. So I (begrudgingly) came up with this week’s download to make it easier to keep track of my regular chores, and I’m positive it will do the same for you. Jillee THIS WEEK’S DIGITAL DOWNLOAD The Easy Way To Stay On Top Of Everyday Chores [Photos of Jillee filling out a printable chore tracker.]( Establishing a manageable chore schedule and staying on top of it just got easier. After my positive experience with [my spring cleaning checklist]( over the past several weeks, I was inspired to come up with something similar for the daily and weekly chores that make up everyday housekeeping. So that's what I did, and I’m passing it along to you as today's free digital download! My printable chore tracker has an area to track daily chores (like wiping countertops and general tidying up) as well as areas for each day of the week. The idea is to spread out your weekly chores across the whole week, because it’ll be easier to stay on top of them when you have less to do each day. Keep in mind that you can change your schedule as often as you want. If the “first draft” of your chore schedule isn’t working for you, try something different next week. (And if you put your chore tracker in a clear sheet protector and fill it out with a dry erase marker, you can make changes anytime without wasting paper!) Look for the yellow download box at the link below to download your printable chore tracker. I’ve also provided an example chore schedule to help get you thinking about what your schedule might look like. Check it out below.

Although our food storage practices aren’t necessarily the only factor that contributes to the amount of food we waste, learning where and how to store our food to keep it fresh longer can be an effective way to cut down on food waste. And since a refrigerator's main job is to keep food fresh, considering what you are (or aren’t) storing in your fridge is a good place to start. It might seem obvious which foods you should store in your fridge and which can go in your pantry, but that’s not always the case. In fact, plenty of foods that are considered “pantry staples” last longer when stored in the fridge, including the 7 surprising ones I'll be sharing with you today. Because if moving these food from the pantry to the fridge is all it takes to extend their shelf life, then that’s something we should all be aware of!
