Mornings With Gina Birch

What’s in your kitchen drawers? You never REALLY know until you have to empty them all out for a kitchen remodel. It’s the definition of a blessing and a curse. My kitchen woes began last Fall. Most Southwest Floridian’s kitchen problems began on September 28th with Hurricane Ian.

Although my condo received some damage, it was not rising flood waters. The flood happened not long after the storm but it came from pipes and fixtures in the kitchen sink.

There is nothing quite like lying down at night, knowing you are going to wake up to a clean, organized home. A little at a time, that is finally happening for my. My kitchen is finally functional and almost everything is put away. Which leads me back to the original question. What’s in your kitchen drawers? Send me photos of the most random things you find please, [email protected] or post on Facebook. Here are a few random things that WERE in mine. Now, they sit in boxes ready to be gifted to someone who can love them as much (or as little) as I did.
