Pantry Makeover

So I finally got my pantries organized this week with the help of my sweet little girl. She took everything out of pantries and organized them into piles and I put them back in. I can't believe how much better I feel just walking into my kitchen. That day after we were done I just kept opening the pantry doors and looking at all that organization. Now I can actually find stuff! Imagine that.

Are you wondering why I have four jars of opened peanut butter, so am I.

I even managed to find room for all the canned vegetables that my parents brought up for me this week. It doesn't get any better than that. Especially since I didn't have to grow it, pick it, clean it, or can it.....Oh my, I'm starting to think I might be a little spoiled.

My smaller pantry is really deep and dark so I made cards with what was on each shelf. I even wrote in pencil so I can erase when I take something out.

Lovely isn't it. Now if I can just find the strength to organize that monster of a laundry room and my upstairs playroom closet. Scares me to even think about it.

My Domestic Nightmare

This is my domestic nightmare. I ususally have an organized house. I'm not OCD or anything, but my husband and I both are pretty good about putting things where they belong and teaching our four kids to do the same.  Having said that, I can not seem to tame the clutter of my pantries. I have two in my kitchen, one large walk-in in my garage (it's very organized) but neither one in the house is organized. What can I do? I need some serious help.

All of my canned foods are behind those boxes and tupperware containers. Can you just imagine how fun it is to try and find something canned when I'm cooking?

This is a picture of the smaller pantry. It mainly holds extras. You know the 4 bottles of Miracle Whip I bought because they were on sale. We believe in stock piling food.

Anyone out there have any ideas to help me out. I'm telling you I need some.
