Week 5, Day 1: Medicine Cabinet

Let's talk organizing products to keep your medicine/medicine cabinet tidy!

- Organizers with dividers: An easy way to separate medicines by type.
*Pro tip: Keep all of your medicine cups/syringes/infant syringes in the front for easy access.

- Turn tables: when are these not amazing?! They help save space and give you quick access to your vitamins/supplements/meds.

- Medicine organizer: A great way to keep you organized on the go!

- Labels: I use this handy label maker all the time! It's under $27, can go a long time without a charge, and the app is user friendly! I also like these specific medicine labels where you can put when the medication was opened and when it expires.

You know what to do!
1. Take everything OUT
2. Sort your items - purge, keep, and (maybe?) donate
3. Categorize your kept items
4. Organize items back under the sink!
- How does that feel?! Pat yourself on the back and go enjoy your weekend!

Week 4, Day 5: Under The Kitchen Sink Edition

Here are some organizing products to keep items under your sink contained!

1. Pull out cabinet drawers are very helpful under the kitchen sink.
- They can sometimes be problematic if plumbing gets in the way. The one in today's post is nice because it accounts for this.
- Make sure to ALWAYS measure your space before purchasing products (unless you're cool with possibly having to return the items). My husband despises having to return anything, but to me - NBD!

2. Turn tables - GREAT to put all of your cleaning supplies on.

3. Pull out acrylic drawer - this is how I contain my trash bags and easily pull them out through the handle.

4. Not sure where to start? Grab this 18 piece Multipurpose set for $63 from The Home Edit line at Wal-Mart. Not only can it be used under the sink, but many other areas in your home too!

Happy Organizing!

Week 4, Day 4: Fridge/Freezer Edition

Let's talk how to sustain organization in your fridge/freezer. There are a few key guidelines to follow:
1. Regularly get rid of expired foods, leftovers that don't get eaten, and items you end up not liking/using
2. Every item has a place to go
3. Labels, labels, labels
- Pro tip: Make the labels very generic to include a wide variety (ex. dairy, condiments, sauces, dressings, veggies, fruits instead of: milk, mustard, ketchup, ranch, broccoli, strawberries)

If every item has a home, and that home is labeled - then everyone in the family can put it back where it belongs!

Another reminder - don't forget to mark expiration dates on the bottom of your containers (permanent marker wipes off easily with a little rubbing alcohol)

A few of my favorite products to include for your fridge: egg holders, turn tables for dressings, sauces, condiments, and produce containers. We also like can holders for our garage fridge aka drink fridge.

Freezer organization: I utilize these budget friendly multi-purpose bins from The Container Store.

Happy Organizing!

Week 4, Day 4: Fridge/Freezer Edition

I try to regularly clean out my fridge and freezer on a weekly basis, but that doesn't always mean checking expiration dates. So, today is the day to get TO it!

1. Take everything single item OUT.
- If you need to break this up in to 2 sessions - that's totally ok!
2. Sort your items in 2 piles this time - purge and keep. I don't think you'll need a donation pile for this one.
3. Categorize your kept items
(Ex. for Fridge: Dairy, Deli, Veggies, Fruit, Sauces, Condiments, Dressings, Snacks, Meals, Cheeses (also dairy - but deserves its own category IMO)
(Ex. for Freezer: Veggies, Fruit, Meats, Meals, Misc.)
4. EXTRA Credit: Wipe down ALL surfaces in your fridge and freezer while everything is out!
5. Organize items back and now you'll open the fridge/freezer just to stare at it. Great job!

Alright, let's tackle that large mound of Tupperware that's taking up precious real estate in your kitchen cabinet (or drawer).

3. Categorize your kept items - lids vs containers vs plastic vs glass vs meal prep

2. Cabinet Shelf Risers - an easy way to add extra space as items can be placed on top or below the shelf.

3. Have extra bins you haven't utilizes from other projects?
- Stack your cups in the larger bins and store lids in another! This is also helpful to keep adult cups and kid cups separated.

Happy Organizing!

Week 4, Day 1: Kitchen Utensil Edition

Here are some helpful items to keep your kitchen utensils stay organized - make sure to MEASURE your drawer before ordering!

- Bamboo inserts add a custom look and are usually adjustable. They also keep you from overloading your drawers.

- I store my regularly used utensils on my counter and the ones I don't use all the time in a drawer. There are tons of cute options for storage this way!

- Are your kitchen utensils looking a little rough? This 14 piece set from Amazon gives you all the utensils you would need for cooking/baking and are all matching. Which says - "she definitely has her life together"

Hope these help! Happy Organizing!

Week 4, Day 1: Kitchen Utensil Edition

This is a quick, easy task that gets missed regularly! Let's go through that kitchen utensil drawer today.

1. Take all items out and determine the number of each utensil you need on a regular basis.
- Pro tip: If you want to keep extra utensils for parties, holidays, etc, store them altogether in another area with extra serving trays/paper plates/items for parties.
2. Sort in to your categories (Purge, Donate, Keep)
3. Organize your kept pile (ex. spatulas, spoons, tongs, baking utensils, etc.)
4. Organize back in to the drawer or wherever you keep them and DONE!

Week 3, Day 4: Command Center/Mail Edition

Do you have a family command center? Do you want to create a space that gives your mail and important information a home?

Here are some products to create one!

1. Monthly Calendar - this can be mounted on a wall or on your refrigerator

2. Mail Organizer - this will give your incoming mail a home. I recommend purchasing one that is either:
A. Not very big and makes you go through your mail on a regular basis
Or
B. One that has folders/dividers, so you can organize as you go!

3. A place for keys (car keys, mail keys, work keys). That way, you're not hunting for where you last left them.

4. Note pad or notebook for grocery lists or important information you need to jot down.

Hope this help and happy organizing!

3. Categorize all of your items (mail, pens, paper, etc)

4. Organize your items back or put items back where they're suppose to live.

And you're done! See! That wasn't too bad, was it?
