I had a few minutes!

DO NOT report me to TLC's Hoarders! This is just our pantry and man did it look scary.

Seriously I had just cleaned this out like 2 months ago, which really isn't that long ago and it shouldn't have gotten like this. But it did and I was sick of it.

So after my morning work out this was my second work out :(

I took everything off the shelves's and threw out what we either let expire or only had a few chip's, cracker's of piece's of cereal left in the box. I get so bugged when someone puts something empty back on my shelf, Really? Who does that? Apparently no one who lives here because no one seams to know who put the empty box/bag back in the pantry.

Holy cow, how embarrassing!


But all my hard work paid off! I love reorganizing the pantry. It's lookin' good now, and is functional. Although there are a few things I may have to change around, but for now it works!


And look what I did with our mini bags of chip's and cookies for the kids school lunches. It's a shoe bag of all things. But I love it. I no longer have the hugh boxes on the floor of the pantry. And the kids can see what is available for their lunch. And best of all, I can see when we are running low and I need to stock up!



I had such a good time cleaning out the pantry that I tackled the fridge when I was finished. Sorry no photo's of it as my camera battery died right after taking this last picture; but it's looking great as well.
No if I can only get the family to follow my rule of "DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING" it will stay nice and neat.

I wonder what my next big project should be!

Mindy,
That is so funny, I did the exact same thing yesterday. It took so long but it is the greatest having an organized kitchen.

THat's on my list of things to do also. Along with a dozen other such projects. Sigh. I love the shoe holder idea!!!

Ahhhhhh.... a clean, organized pantry is the BEST. The refrigerator is a total bonus. I need your energy :-) Maybe it would help if I actually worked out -- I wish I had time to try it.

Love that you had the guts to show everyone your before shot. No way could I do that. What a great idea for the chips and small bagged items.
