4 Weeks to a More Organized Home: Cleaning out the Fridge

I’m joining in MoneySavingMom‘s 4 Weeks to a More Organized Home, even though I’m a couple days late.

Every weekday morning from November 5 to December 7 (skipping the week of Thanksgiving), Crystal will post the day’s assignment and then every evening she will share her progress and host a link-up for you to share your progress and pictures, too.

I love that this accountability will keep me doing something little everyday to keep the house organized. Most of her organizing assignments will only take 20 minutes or less! For example, here was the assignment for [...]

Day 2: Cleaning List

Welcome back to 31 Days to Building a Cleaning Routine! On Monday I listed out some of the processes I’ll be blogging about this month. I also talked about how to figure out what margin time you have available to start your cleaning routine.

Day 1: Schedule time!

31 Days to building a cleaning routine button

Once again, I’m taking on the challenge by The Nester to blog for 31 Days on one topic. Last year I blogged about 31 Days of New Uses for Old Things.

This year it’s 31 Days to Building a Cleaning Routine. I REALLY need a cleaning routine. I started working on building one for the month of September so I can start sharing my experiences for October.

I will be taking you through my process of:

- how I came up with a routine & what it is

- how I made [...]

Menu Planning Monday: Organizing recipes & Whole Wheat Bread recipe

So, I’m been doing a lot of menu planning prep work lately. I have a spread sheet I’m working on that lists prices for the food I buy, and then on another tab I’m using that information to calculate the cost of the recipes I use on a regular basis. This takes a LOT of time. I’ve spent MONTHS slowly working on it.

Anyway, my goal is for this week to have enough recipes organized to plan meals for the month of August and know about how much I’m going to be spending for most meals! I’ll probably be [...]

Take it on Tuesday blog hop #39: Organizing Spices

Hello everyone! Awhile ago, I revealed our kitchen remodel and pantry organization. I had intended to label and organize my spices that same month. Four months later… I finally did it!!

It’s so nice to have the continuing accountability of sharing something I’ve “taken on” each Tuesday. It motivates me to get something done on my never ending to do list.

Please join me in Taking something on and link up each Tuesday!

Before I made the switch from keeping the spices in the cabinet to drawer, I tried to keep [...]
