Organizational Overhaul - Kitchen Island - Video & Corresponding Blog Post

Hello friends! I hope you are having a great evening. I am back with a pretty quick organizational overhaul of the kitchen island. My little Jackson normally puts away the dishes without a care in the world about where they go or if things stay organzied. He kinda has the throw it in attitude just tossing things everywhere. With the holidays fast approaching, I will be in the kitchen a lot and really wanted this area organized......again. Hope you enjoy the video and maybe find some inspiration to tackle one of the problem areas in your home too! More pictures and info below. 

So as I mentioned little Jackson just does not care where he puts anything just as long as he can get the dishwasher emptied as fast as possible. It seriously drives me nuts and what's even more crazier I pay him for this little job in his allowance. I think its time I start charging him back allowance money when he just tosses things in drawers and cabinets and not where they actually belong. I found 2 sharpies and even a highlighter in these drawers and I know for sure, they don't live there. :) We have desks for those items. Anyway, it was driving me nuts to have to sort through the messy drawer and its my stuff so I got busy. 

Again.. I was shocked at how bad the drawers actually were. As I sorted through things I decided what I would keep, what I would store and what I would toss. It didn't take long to figure out what I really needed to organize and I got with it. 

And here's the after picture...

Sure its still not as organized as I would like but its so much better than what it was. It didn't take long either....less than 30 minutes and now the drawers will actually open. I can find everything I need super fast and now it should be easier for Jackson to figure out. As I said in the video, I might just take a picture of how they are, post inside a cabinet just so he knows where things go. And charge him back for everything not returned in place. Who knows.. maybe then he will respect my kitchenware more. And you guys should see the bottom cabinets...more mini organization jobs await! For quick organization here's a couple of my tips. 

• Start out small. Don't tackle a place to organize that is going to take you all day. Those are weekend projects. 
• When decluttering and organizing any area, pull everything out... give it a good cleaning and then put it back. While doing this sort through the items to figure out what to keep, toss , or store. 
• Put things back in a way that keeps items separated and neat. Use containers you already have or make a quick trip to the Dollar Tree for organizational items. 
• Keep items you use the most to the front. 
• Again... if you have kids or a big family, you might want to take a picture of the organized area... print out a picture and put it somewhere close where they can see it. 
• Don't get distracted. Stick with the one area you are organizing and don't wander off. 

These simple tips make organizing any area faster and easier. The problem for us though, is keeping it organized. Like I said, I am going to start doing chargebacks on little Jackson if he can't keep it together! 

Hope you enjoyed this video and blog post. Let me know what areas in your house you need to do a organizational overhaul on! I plan on sharing more videos like the one above in the coming weeks since so many of you guys seem to enjoy it! 

How to make your berries last longer | Video |

Hello friends! I hope you are having a wonderful afternoon. I am back today with a tip that will hopefully help many of you keep your berries from rotting so fast. How many times have you bought a carton of strawberries or even blueberries and before you could use them, they rotted, mildewed along with stealing the money that you just paid for them. Well here's a quick trip that should keep you from having to worry about that much! 

Remember..5 cups of water to 1 cup of vinegar. You don't even have to rinse!

Question & Answer - YOUR Kitchen Questions Answered! VIDEO

Hello friends! I am back with a question and answer video answering YOUR KITCHEN QUESTIONS that I asked you to send in. Thank you so much for all your questions. I answered as many as I could. Everything is in the video and more pictures and links on where to find some of the products are listed below.

More Info.

I got a lot of questions about Cast Iron Skillets. Many people wanted to know where to find cheap cast iron skillets. The ones I have were passed down to me so its been a long time since I have bought any but you can find Cast Iron Skillets reasonably priced. I normally see them for around $30 which is not too bad for a pan you should have for a very very long time if you take care of it. I also got asked about what kind of pots and such I would recommend for someone starting out or even starting over. First I really think investing in the best pans you can is very important. I really love the Rachel Ray 10 piece set. The entire set is under $150 and if that doesn't work for you.. I would suggest buying one item at a time until you build the collection you want. Making the investment in good pans will pay off every time. They will cook more evenly, not warp, and hold up much longer than cheap pots and pans that you will have to replace often. In terms of stocking up a new house, I would suggest to any young person to head into their local Dollar Store where everything is in fact just $1 and having a look at all the different utensils they have. You find a lot of decent items for a fraction of the cost when shopping there. I still get items from there all the time because I love the price.

Kitchen Pantry Organization Makeover!!! { Video }

Hello friends! I am here this evening with a updated Kitchen Pantry Organization Makeover of our pantry. After summer, our pantry always needs a good clean up. The kids are not good about keeping things where they belong and things always need straightened up in the fall. No one pantry is the same and the items you keep in it will depend on what your family uses the most of. We are lucky because in this house we have a huge walk in kitchen pantry that holds a lot - almost all - of our food. If you want to see how I organize it, enjoy the video! As always, more pictures and info below!
