Organized!

I have been completly inspired by all the other blogs in Blogland organizing for the new year so I decided I needed a little organizing as well. I kick myself for not taking Before pictures, but if you just imagine total chaos I'm sure you will recognize the difference. So far I have done my pantry and my Linen closet.

The pantry had its challenges because my 1 year old is obsessed with pulling everything out of there so I had to be careful of what I put at his level, but I also have an almost 4 year old that likes to get his own snacks. I also have quite a bit of food storage that I tend to forget about if I dont have everything visible and organized. I keep Rice, flour, bread flour and sugar in 5 gallon buckets at eh bottom of the pantry. We use those alot and it always good to keep a fair amount of those on hand. I still need to get a few crates for potatoes and onions that I also keep at the bottom, but it looks so much better.

This Linen closet was totally overflowing. I donated so many blankets and pillows. We narrowed it down to the ones we needed and the ones we loved too much to get rid of. I also use this closet for all the playdoh, bubbles etc.. so I needed an entire shelf for all that. I still think we have too many pillows, but my husband refused to part with them. I hope I have inspired some of you!
