3 Tips for Organizing Your Refrigerator

Last week I shared tips to help you organize your freezer.  Hopefully they helped you get your freezer looking spiffy and super organized!  Today, I'm moving on to the refrigerator.

Fridges take a beating don't they?  Food is being taken out and put back in over and over every single day by different family members.  It's no wonder fridges get messy and unorganized!

And then you can't remember what you have, so you buy more salad dressing and then find out you already have 3 open bottles of the same one.  Or leftover food gets shoved to the back and forgotten about... until your nose reminds you one day that a science experiment is growing in there.

It doesn't have to be this way though!  With a little organization, you'll be able to easily find what you're looking for and family members will know where to put things back.  That will help keep your fridge organized, which will save you time and money.  Gotta love that!

Just like with the freezer organizing tips, you'll be able to apply these refrigerator organizing tips whether you have a side-by-side fridge, a bottom-loading fridge, or a top-loading fridge.  I've got bottom-loading fridge, so these pictures will show that, but the principles are transferable.

2 Tips for Organizing Your Freezer

I'm baaack!!  After a short blogging break due to illness and March Break, I'm back today with more kitchen organizing tips for you!  We're all pretty much over our various sicknesses, and the kids managed to have a pretty good break from school.  Of course, for them, any break from school is good :)

Today I'm sharing tips to help you organize your freezer.  Whether you have a side-by-side freezer, a freezer above your fridge, or a freezer drawer below your fridge, you'll be able to apply these general tips.  I've got a freezer above my fridge, so the pictures will be from that, but the principles are transferable.

Command Centre: Wall Files for Papers

Do you have piles of paper on your kitchen counter, dining room table, or in your entryway?

You know the papers I mean?  Those things that come in your house every. single. day.  Like bills, invitations, and flyers.  Or school work, newsletters, and permission forms.  Or receipts and coupons.

All those things you need to do something with.  At some point.  But not right away.  So you put them in a pile to deal with later.

And the pile gets moved a few times because you need the space for something else.  Like cooking or eating :)

Then when you need something, you can't find it and have to scramble around as you're running out the door.  Or you have to pay late fees because you forgot to pay a bill.  Or you can't return something because you can't find the receipt.

Does any of this sound familiar?  Even for those of us who like organizing, the daily accumulation of paper is a huge challenge.  It just keeps on entering our homes!

If you don't have a solution for dealing with those daily papers, you'll  easily be overwhelmed by it.

I'm embarrassed to show this, but here was where some of our paperwork ended up.

Organizing My Linen Closet Part 2: The Full Reveal!

Organizing My Linen Closet

Our linen closet is chaotic!  Can you relate?

Linen closets often contain a lot of stuff behind their doors and ours was no exception.  I tried to imagine it wasn't as bad as it was, but in reality, I was overwhelmed with the chaos.  Time to get this closet organized!
