The freezer is fine for plain jars where the frozen wax can just slide right out, but if you have anything funky going on with your jar, you’re going to have to go all archaeologist on it.. Here’s what I do now instead:.Get a jar from a burned out candle.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that this candle is called “Kitchen Clean” and you can see piles of dishes waiting to be put away in the back ground?.It doesn’t really even have to a big bowl bowl.Just a small amount of cold water will do.. We’re going to melt that wax out!.

Stir it around a little with a butter knife or something to ensure all the wax gets melted.. Pour all that melted wax mixed with hot water out and into the bowl of cold water..It separates really easily so if you don’t have a strainer to use for this, don’t worry, a spoon will work just fine.. Just a few seconds of work and your jar is perfectly clean!

Bonus: Your kitchen will smell amazing instantly if it was a scented candle.. Peel the label off and clean your jar as usual.

Now wasn’t that easy?I wanted to share with you some of the kinds of things I’m finding to take care of right now that make me feel a whole lot more capable when it comes to dealing with all this space we have out here.. First of all, leaves are almost always a big part of Fall clean up.

If we really had to rake all of our leaves, we’d be doomed.I was worried about this last year, but we soon discovered that they all blow out into the fields, so we just enjoy them while they’re here..

So what I’ve really been doing are just little things, but often things that I would just not get to until Spring because they didn’t seem big enough to warrant a whole trip outside on their own.-Cutting back dying perennials (just 15 minutes worth at a time!).
