I am going to see if I can get an interview with the pantry organizer so we can all learn something. I have been contemplating for years just posting a photo of my Tupperware etc drawer with the caption "help."
I'm about two hours east of Raleigh, NC, but wouldn't mind being looped in with other central/eastern NC witches. (I'd also be down for a witchy Slack group!)
At my house for a long time we had something called the Initiative Bin. Whenever I found their random crap laying around the house I would pick it up and put it in the Initiative Bin and when they wanted that thing back, they'd have to perform an act of initiative to get it back. Usually that just meant cleaning their room or the kitchen without being asked. I still cackle a little on the inside when I think of the time I had picked up so many of my daughter's socks and put them in the initiative bin that she was having to wear sneakers with no socks to school (which she hates) because she had totally run out and couldn't figure out where they all were going.
I would love to connect with Seattle witches. I've been trying out Bumble BFF after realizing how many friends have moved away in the pandemic -- and everyone on BFF seems to want a puppy playdate or a hiking buddy (neither of which is my priority). I want witches to vent with. 🧹
"My kids love screens and I don’t mind because I like to be left alone." Is possibly the most important thing I've ever heard a mother say in my entire 8-year history as a mother. Thanks to your genius friend.

In London and would love to be put in touch with anyone in the UK, if there's anyone else around!
Great read. I laughed out loud multiple times. The cotton candy mishap description was on point!
