Hi Lynne! There should be a pin it button on every photo. Unfortunately wordpress will not allow you to pin an entire post. However, you can certainly print it out and save it!

I think it is a really bad idea to put cleaning powders and liquids into containers that are meant for and known to hold edible things…..really bad idea…and not just if there are kids around. and frankly, why not keep things plain and simple instead of creating new jobs to have to do and new areas to clean and unclutter….yikes, I’ve got enough todo….and laundry is not at all bad if you can do it somewhere quickly and slide a door across while you are coding it. And no one will be tempted to have a drink from my glass DRINK dispenser.
