No Dirty Dishes / 3 Must Know Mom Hacks

Put yo hand up if you HATE dishes? I have my hands and feet up. Literally, it’s my least favorite chore. In fact, when Marcus and I were engaged I told him if he would just do the dishes, I would do all the other cleaning. 😉 HA! That may have not exactly worked as planned though…whoops. Sorry Marcus 😉 However since becoming a Mama I have learned a few tips and tricks to well, keep my sanity and make life a little bit easier. So grab all the Dixie Ultra Disposable plates and let’s chat people. PS. All the tips involve Dixie Disposable plates 😉

THE THREE TIPS

1. NO DISHES. The obvious one, no dishes. (which did you know a couple days ago on the 18th it was “No Dishes Day” — like it’s a real thing) However, it’s basically no dirty dishes day everyday in our house and well, honestly since introducing the whole Dixie Ultra Disposable plate thing to our family it’s been game changing. We run our dishwasher WAY less, my sink isn’t constantly full of dishes and you literally just toss it in the trash when you’re done. Like that’s a Mom’s dream.

2. PUT THEM IN THE CUPBOARD. When we first started using Dixie Ultra Disposable plates I had them in the pantry, not easy to get to. So honestly I forgot about them all the time and continued using actual dishes more often than not. So I made a change, obviously we still have our nice dishes for occasions, but I keep a good stack of Dixie Disposable Plates on the top of those. This way they’re easily accessible and when I got to grab my usual plate, I see them, right in front of me!

3. CLEAN UP. Alright, I guess this isn’t really another “tip” but it goes hand in hand with using disposable plates which is essentially the biggest “Mom hack” of this entire thing. The clean up though y’all, THE FRIGGIN’ CLEAN UP. Literally, you pull the trash can out or take the plates to the trash can, you know — whatever floats your boat — and ya drop. it. in. That’s it, I mean it literally takes 30 seconds. That’s a dinner clean up I can handle. 😉

That’s the tips I’ve got for you. Buy all the Dixie Disposable Plates. Dixie® has always been there to cut down on your dirty dishes, BUT their new, stronger Dixie Ultra® has a reinforced rim and is the strongest plate they’ve ever made! Which means you can stack that plate full of all the delicious food…or dessert, because if you’re anything like me, it’s ALL the desserts. Plus, never do dishes again when you use Dixie Ultra® plates. It’s perfect for family gatherings, parties and well…everyday life.
