Tidy Tuesday

Welcome SITStas, and of course my regular peeps, to my own Spring Fling! Brandy at I'm Not Your Average Soccer Mom and I are having our own theme week and today happens to be Tidy Tuesday. My last Tidy Tuesday was actually Toilet Tuesday and depicted me cleaning a toilet June Cleaver style while, of course, wearing my pearls.

Today's Tidy Tuesday involves a giveaway and a clean kitchen, because who doesn't love giveaways AND clean kitchens? Oh, and I dusted off the pearls for Heather at Five Bucks.

I've been trying to eat all our meals at home and with 6 kids the kitchen tends to be a bit messy, most of the time. But I've also been trying really, really hard to keep my house cleaner and more picked up and some days it drives me a bit crazy.

I have to go baaaack!!!!
{Sorry, I've been watching a little too much LOST.}

Go back where?


To the (kitchen) island, of course. Do you think my children would buy it if I told them we all have to go back? And that we all have to clean? No? I didn't think so either. But I do think I'll start calling us the S7. (Referencing the Oceanic 6.)

{If you don't watch LOST and you've been living under a rock, I apologize for my many LOST references. Once I started this semi LOST themed post I had to take it home, baby.}

But there is a way for you to avoid this dilemma.

Enter to win my giveaway! I'm giving away $25 gift certificate to On the Border,Chili's, Romano's Macaroni Grill, or Maggianio's Little Italy. All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me that don't want to go back (to the kitchen island) either. The giveaway will open at 12:01 Tuesday March 10 and end at 11:00 p.m. CDT.

Oh, and if you are an anonymous commenter or don't have your email linked to your profile, could you save me a bit of research and leave your email in your comment? Thanks!

And when your done showing me your comment love, hop on over to Brandy's to see her own Tidy Tuesday and see what she's giving away. Meet you over there-- I'm headed there right now! I'm feeling lucky!

  1. You're such a riot!!

    I'd love to have a kitchen island, if for nothing more than to velcro the children and the dog to it while I cook, avoiding all the tripping hazard fun!!

  2. I would just love one day where the island was just that an island removed from the kitchen clutter. :)

  4. I actually would like to go back to my kitchen island if I had one....but wait....then I would lose all of my break dancing room. Never mind!

    I don't want to go back cause then I won't be able to bust a move!

    Visiting from Brandy.

  10. I don't want to go back to my kitchen because I have a family of five and an apartment sized, no more like one of those motel kitchenettes, kitchen. I couldn't stand in the middle with my arms outstreched and turn around without clearing my counters off.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I don't have a kitchen island to go back to! :(

    But I'd go back to it, if I had one.

    Happy Spring Fling!

    ReplyDelete
  12. but if I win I don't have to clean the counters one night at least... and I'd use the entire meal to discuss LOST theories with random strangers - as an homage :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Your kitchen looks suspiciously like ours and we don't even have kids! :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Lol I don't watch Lost so a lot of that was lost on me, but I'll just go with I don't want to go back to the Island either! I live in a sorority house, and our kitchen can get pretty messy too!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'll do anything to avoid my kitchen (unless to get coffee). Except, I wouldn't clean yours.

    ReplyDelete
  16. That is so funny...I just left a comment at Brandy's site that cooking dinner is my least favorite chore. And it's because I hate my kitchen and the mess THAT WILL NOT GO AWAY!

    Happy Tidy Tuesday!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I definitely DON'T want to go back if that's what it'd look like (which, at my house---is what it will look like!!)

    But count me in for your fab giveaway! =)

    ReplyDelete
  18. You so funny! :0P

    I've never watched Lost, but I'll just take your word for it because I know you sit in a Lost Zone ignoring your children while they take pictures of you starring at the tv not even noticing you. LOL

    I love food and I love those restaurants! Mmmmm........

    ReplyDelete
  19. Definitely NOT lovin' the kitchen island. We had mac & cheese for dinner tonight. Taste, but bad for the diet! Pop by my blog to win a Stampin' Up! stamp set.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I don't want to go back to the island either! My kitchen is a hot mess right now. And unfortunately my toddler makes more of a mess than actually cleaning anything. :) Love the Lost references, I just started watching it.

    Happy Spring Fling!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I don't even have an island. I have literally 3 feet of counter space. Total!

    Save me!

    ReplyDelete
  28. The only way I'd go back to kitchen island is if it had self washing dishes and a no-burn stove and oven :)... I would love to enter for a GC to Macaroni Grill! Happy Spring Fling!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't want to go back to the island! I want to go get a pepercorn crusted hamburger from Chilis!!

  34. Honey, if you saw my island oasis you would know I haven't been there in a week! Three emergency room visits and one hospital stay equal a very dirty deserted island!! If I head to any island it is going to be far far away from here!! Happy Tuesday!!

  41. I only wish I had a kitchen island. We love Chili's! manicmotherme@gmial.com

    ReplyDelete
  42. I always wonder why my family puts the dishes on the counter or in the sink when the dishwasher is open and I've already loaded all the other dishes...and where on earth did they get the idea that I was a waitress...uhg.

    Great giveaway...I'm taking a girlfriend out!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I love Chili's! Count me in:-)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Fun giveaway!

    I don't want to go back - my kitchen island is covered in mail and papers that I need to go through.

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh, count me in as a LOST lover...and lately a kitchen avoider :-) The Chili's gift card will be well loved.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I don't have a kitchen island... yet! I will when we build our new house this year! Could really use that GC cause we are savin for the house and trying not to eat out much! I LOVE Macaroni Grill! Count me in!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I don't want to go back to the kitchen either....but I do want to go to Chili's!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I LOVE my kitchen island. The thing I hate about my kitchen is that the kids don't do their chores to my standards. I hate going in my kitchen after they say that they are finished because I always find something they didn't do. It is a great excuse for not baking cookies though. I can't stand to make anything in a kitchen that is messy.
    I am so confused with Lost. We just finished watching the second season and Libby got shot. Isn't she the person you referred to as Juliet in the most recent episode? Maybe I shouldn't have read your review after all!! I really don't need any more confusion in my life. LOL
    Blessings,
    Regina

    ReplyDelete
  49. My kitchen Island is clean and doesn't have anything non-decorative on it. Not because I'm one of those clean freaks...but because I NEVER cook! I don't want to go back to my kitchen...EVER...so help a fellow sistah out and please enter me in your giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I love it! I knew your post would be awesome...how could I ever top that picture? Oh that's right I have a very similiar one as my profile pic...with the exception of the pearls. I don't have pearls. :[

    BTW I DON'T WANNA GO BACK!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Oh, YIKES! We have cut our budget a ton and that means eating at home WAY more than we used to! I understand the mess! It's amazing how many dishes get used when you actually COOK! LOL! I don't want to go back!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I don't have an island but I do have a bar in the kitchen that is collection central. :o)

  53. I have no kitchen island, but will have after our remodel is done. But, it will probably endup like ever other flat service in the house, covered with misc. stuff! I can tell you that I don't want to go back..back to a sink full of dirty dishes!Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  54. My kitchen is under construction. The floors are done, but cabinets and counter tops are still being worked on and it looks like a bomb went off in there.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I live in an apartment, so my kitchen is tiny. If we let dishes stack up, they take up every inch of cabinet space.

    A friend and I love to go to Chili's together...so this would be great! I love how you tied the two together!

    ReplyDelete
  56. LOL. I just spent over an hour in the kitchen cleaning it last night.

    I DESERVE this gift certificate!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. We have been doing all our eating at home too and I DON't want to go back - I want to eat out! Like we used to and someone else cleans up... ahhh...the good old days!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I love to cook I just hate to clean up afterwards!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Okay so I am completely Lost...never seen the show, guess I do live under a rock! But I do know about Chili's and would love to win!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Okay, I don't want to go back to your island...I clean enough dishes...haha. But I would like to join your theme week next time, if you'll let me know...I was up all night and already have my multipurpose Monday post ready to go in my head...haha

    ReplyDelete
  61. I don't want to go back to the kitchen island until the maid has it all cleaned up and ready for me to cook on again... :) Dreaming big here... :) My family of five makes a BIG mess in the kitchen.

  63. I don't have a kitchen island that I don't want to go back on... the kitchen is just too small, but I do have kitchen counters that I don't want to go back to!

    Happy Spring Fling :)

    ReplyDelete
  70. HOW FUN! No I don't want to go back to your kitchen island. I don't want to go back to mine either. *sigh* need to go back to mine and do the dishes.

  71. I don't have a kitchen island and wouldn't want to go back to it if I did! But I do want some Chili's Baby Back Ribs!!!

    ReplyDelete
  72. No...I would never go back. Well, I would say that, of course...but, just like the show...something would lure me back...

    Probably not dead guys and time travel...probably not a lost love, or a semi-evil, semi-not guy like Ben.

    No, I wouldn't go back for those things. I would most likely go back for:

    Curtains that need to be sewn and the island is big enough to lay out the fabric.

    Dioramas and posterboards projects for school.

    Last night's dinner.

    Yesterday's mail.

    Forgotten homework.

    Matchbox cars and toy guns.

    Candy...most likely it's wrapper.

    My protein shakes that have been sitting there for a month...left there to remind me to start my diet. I'm starting tomorrow!!

    I could go on, and on, and on...

  74. Uummmmm, yeah, I am one of those that lives under a rock but I'll bit and say I don't want to go back to the island.

    My kitchen island and I have a love-hate relationship going on. Its 3ft by 4ft of flat space, a rarity in my home. However right now it has my laptop on it, bandaides, two stuffed animals, variouse books, a new pair of shoes, cd's, pencil sharpener, school paperwork, and a jumping frog. I love it when it is clean, hate that it is never clean. Today, though is the day. I ahve some baking to do and the island will get cleaned!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Love the pearls! I would love an evening off from cooking and doing dishes.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I hate doing dishes, actually have a dish washer, but never use it. I believe it requires more work than I care to do. I would love a kitchen island, but afraid that would be more room for dishes to stack......have a great day....I'm off to tackle my island of dishes in the kitchen!

    ReplyDelete
  77. Dishes stink!:) I try to use as few as possible, eating over the sink whenever possible:)
    Chili's would be even better!

    ReplyDelete
  78. I don't even have a kitchen island - wish my kitchen was big enough for one though!

  80. I wish I had a kitchen island, but then I would have no room left in my sad, small kitchen.

    ReplyDelete
  81. No kitchen island here. But sadly, every other flat surface in that room is covered. Oh crap, that means I have to clean :oP

    ReplyDelete
  82. I don't want to go back either! Actually to the whole kitchen. My daughter sprayed a crazy amount of air freshener all over the room without me knowing it and I can't seem to get the stickiness off of the floor. I need to go scrub again! Thanks for the chance to win!!! Chilis is my favorite restaurant!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Great giveaway! I'm happy to say that my husband does the bulk of the dishes in our house. I'm lucky that way!

  90. My kitchen doesn't have an island, instead it has the Dump... you know the kitchen table, everyone Dumps stuff there and leaves it. Dirty dishes, newspapers, coats, back packs.
    As for Islands, I could use an Island right now, preferably somewhere warm, beach, cold drink, OOOhhh sounds wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Well, with no island in my tiny apartment kitchen, I'd have to be a non-believer and say what island, where people time travel, there's random people following random people and now, coming back from the dead?

    ReplyDelete
  127. The kitchen island is one I want to leave deserted! Especially at the end of a long week of teaching!

    ReplyDelete
  128. I love your blog design! So cute! And I would love to win the gift certificate! Our dishwasher is broken and I have a whole counter of dishes that I have to tackle tonight. I would love to go out to dinner!

  148. I'm hungry and would love this card even if it would mean taking money from my sister. What is a loving brother suppose to do?

  149. I hate cleaning up the kitchen! I try to cook as little as possible! Is that a goal I should aspire to, I don't know but it works for me!

  150. I can't go back---please don't make me go back! Wait---is Sawyer involved in the going back? In that case I will go back, but I'll need that gift card to take him out on the town. Hold on, there's no Chili's on the Island...oh well, I'll adapt somehow! :)

  152. I was hoping you were giving away the clean kitchen or cleaning lady in a box. Either would do these days! I am years behind on Lost but you are making me want to get the episodes through Netflix. So I will go back or won't go back. Will beg for prize...anything to avoid cooking!

  153. I wish I had a kitchen island! But I do have a bar that collects TONS of junk!

  155. I dont want to go back to the kitchen, the kitchen island, or anywhere. I have 3 home sick with the FLU and have been doing non-stop cleaning, disinfecting, handwashing, and medicine measuring. Ready to crash myself!

  156. Fun! I wish my kitchen had an island. But, then that would probably just end up being another catch all spot. Nope...don't want to go back...but must.

  158. I love Lost! And I definitely DON'T want to go back to the island. Hate cooking...love eating out.

  160. I don't want to go back. I have no island, my tables covered with clean dishes waiting to put themselves away.

    Thanks for hosting :)

  167. Our kitchen island started as a great hang out but is now more like a desk covered in mail and school papers UGHH... and I still have to clean off the dishes! I could use a dinner out!

    ReplyDelete
  168. I so don't want to return to the kitchen. My garbage needs to be emptied!

    ReplyDelete
  169. I could use a Chili's Gift card :)

  170. My kitchen is probably the size of your kitchen island! LOL I don't want to go back because then I'll wish I lived somewhere else, which really isn't an option right now.

  171. I would love a reason not to be in my kitchen! Thanks for the giveaway!!

  172. I might go back if I actually had a beautiful kitchen island...no too much work...send me out to eat for a treat!

  173. You want it? Baby, you got it?

    Sorry - couldn't help it. Saw a break dancing post earlier and had to break out some TUNES!

    My fam WOULD be lost without our kitchen island. It's our home. The core of our family. The gathering spot. The party scene. The....you get it!!

  174. Thanks to you I am now watching Lost since I am addicted to both your blog and LOST now. I am on season 3 and am neglecting my family to watch all 5 seasons in record time! I don't want to go back to the island, unless Jack is there.....By the way, why do you like bad boy Sawyer. He is hot, but such a bad boy. I hope the internet dating does NOT get you a bad boy cause you need a good boy that likes to bounce LOTS of children on his knee and bad boy Sawyer isn't what you need. Sawyer is a want, not a need! :) You need a Jack........ grin :)
