A list of fun things for us to do, things that I would love to do anyway, but things that are completely social-distancing friendly.

By the way, you can.buy new range hood filters pretty easily on amazon.

if you feel like yours are just terrible and you need a fresh start.Just check the dimensions of your existing filters and order some in the same size.. How to Clean Range Hood Filters – Step-by-step.It’s best to do this project when you know you won’t be needing to turn your vent hood on again for 12-24 hours, so after dinner is a great time to do this.

You’ll need to allow a good amount of drying time and overnight works well..The first thing you’ll need to do is boil a big pot of water on the stove.

I just use my biggest dutch oven.. Then you’ll need to remove the filters from your range hood.

They should just lift right out.. Place the filters in a sink with the drain plugged and sprinkle and 1/2 cup of baking soda over top.. Sprinkle a few drops of lemon or lavender essential oil as well if your filters have a bad stale grease smell to them to freshen things up even more.. Pour the boiling water directly over the filters and watch as your sink fills up with all the disgusting muck that immediately starts coming out of your filters.So far, just having the intention that this time of day should be a good one is helping.

I also make a point to make myself a really great fancy iced coffee and make sure to have lots of fun snacks to put into the lunch pails so that the whole process feels easy and I feel like I’ve done a good job of making something the kids will be excited to eat.Bonus points for me if I have something home-baked to add in.

I’m pretty sure I’ll get bored again with the whole thing at some point in the coming months, so I’ll have to keep my eye open for new ideas to keep making this time of day fun.I’ve really embraced “mini-projects” over the last year as we’ve had no time for real renovations..
