Another Way to Earn Money with Your Blog

Someone introduced Smorty, a paid to blog program, to me. I submitted this blog and got approved pretty fast. Smorty is providing a service for advertisers to advertise on blogs. They pay money to bloggers to write opinion posts on their blog. I think these get paid to blog programs are great. It gives anyone who has a blog to make some money blogging what they enjoy. Moreover, these programs give an opportunity for retirees, stay at home moms, and grandma like myself to make some pocket money. If you have blog, try Smorty.

So far I like what I see. Their website interface is pretty user friendly and professional looking. Their requirement for blog application is more stringent than some other similar programs. But this is a good thing as the quality of the blogs in the network can be maintained. The good thing is they do look at over 20 factors on each blog and create a Smorty smart score which is proven to bring a better result from traffic and inbound links from relevant content. I hope to see more offers from Smorty and grow with this program.

How to Organize Your Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of the home. It is a gathering place, a special place. From your kitchen come sights, scents and sounds that signal the appetite. It is the most memorable place in your home. Your kitchen might come complete with plenty of cabinets, cupboards and drawers, and some may not. Whatever your unique situation, it’s how you utilize the space you have and how you discover ways to add more storage solutions (as needed) that makes a difference.

An efficient kitchen

Use the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen to contain items that are grouped together.

For example, place your dishes in a cupboard that is either near the eating table or near the sink area. Food should be gathered with like-items together, and not spread out into different cabinets that contain unrelated items (or having the same type food item put in two places).

Place your coffee machine on a counter-top above a cabinet area. Place your coffee and tea items together near the machine. Pots and pans can placed near the stove area.

To start with, it might be best to empty out the cabinets, one section at a time, and rearrange the items back into cabinets that best suit “the flow” of how you work in your kitchen. Take your time for this takes some thought.



When you decide you organize you will have a place for everything and everything in its place. To accomplish this you will need organizing “tools” in which to store items. You can browse through catalogs or department stores for ideas on what to buy.

Get away from cluttering the counters with too many appliances. If you use the appliance often enough, keep it out. If not, keep it stored away where it cannot be seen. Consider building a shelf above the counter to hold appliances. This will free up your counter space to work on.

Establish a place in your kitchen to keep 1) a message center and/or paper-related items, like a note pad and pens near the phone, 2) cookbooks and recipe boxes, 3) a mail center…

Organize your refrigerator in the same way as you would any other cabinet: group like-items together. Try to avoid keeping leftover foods in containers that sit in the back of the shelves, as they often go bad and smell up your fridge. It’s a good idea to clean out the refrigerator weekly to be rid of foods that have “expired.”

Take advantage of these few tips. You will enjoy your kitchen that much more.
