November 15th is National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day…

This day is NOT just for you. Get your kids in on this… well, fun?

Talk about a great way to get kids reading, thinking, communicating AND cleaning!

Pick a few minutes (or maybe a couple of hours?!) today to get your kids (and maybe even grandkids) involved in digging the stuff from the backs of your refrigerator shelves, the bottoms of your bins, lingering too long on the door storage and hidden in the freezer section.

Have the kids read expiration dates, guess what’s in those storage containers (gross!), and remember the last time they ate a hot dog from that random package. (Also keep plenty of trash bags handy.)

Some sources cite the invent of National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day as a way to purge and clean your refrigerator for the new, fresh Thanksgiving Feast food… but, in any case, National Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day will have your kids laughing (possibly grossed out, too) and your refrigerator dazzling clean.

Get your dazzle on. Have fun.
