I don’t even OWN a dishwasher. The best part of my day is after dinner when my husband and I do dishes together. He asked me if a dishwasher is a must when we buy (we currently rent) I told him no. Ok, there are some days I wish I had one but not many. I use Ajax soap and I’ve found that putting some vinegar in your wash water will make things really SHIINE.

My Grandma never had a dishwasher she always washed them by hand (we would all help her when the whole family was there) and I always liked doing dishes back then. I still do just now it’s not as exciting since my dishwasher broke (which happend to be right before Christmas) So for now it’s my giant drying rack too, I just haven’t had time for the new one to get installed or maybe I subconsciously want to revert back to the old ways. haha

With 15 children in our family the one cup rule has to apply. We installed a narrow shelf and labeled it with names, now we don’t have people saying they can not find their cup etc. This also helps in keeping the house appear cleaner and not having dirty cups everywhere. Also only using one cup each has made it that we only need to run the dishwasher 1 time per day on school days. We always hand wash pots and pans as they are to big for the dishwasher.

I enjoyed this post! I wash my dishes by hand during the Christmas season due to using my Spode Christmas china. I do not want it to chip (which it does in the dishwasher). I decided to “enjoy” my china by using it for every meal from the day after Thanksgiving until Jan. 1. Thus, during the busiest time of my life, I am adding a huge chore to the list. Think this is awful? Actually, it’s not. It is my quiet time, my time to re-center myself, and my time to share highlights of my day with my family if they stay in the kitchen to help dry. Maybe our foremothers were smarter than we think!!
