Shoe Organizers...not just for shoes anymore!

I found this idea on Pinterest!  I love it!

I bought 3 inexpensive shoe organizers at Walmart.

I used one for my spices-

One for the smaller items in my pantry-

And one in my laundry room behind the vacuum closet door-

This frees up so much space for other things!  And they are much more easily accessible!  I used to hunt and hunt for the spices I needed.  Now I just open the door of the pantry and there they are! Now I can tell if I am out of a certain spice.  Just the other day I looked for Nutmeg.  A typical spice that no home should be without, right? I don't have any! It is now on my grocery list so the next time I need it I will have it, and it will be easier to find!

What a Mess after Christmas!

I took these pictures of my kitchen and family room on Monday, January 2nd.  I just couldn't believe how messy I had let the house get!

I spent several hours cleaning and ...

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

So much better!

Now my goal is to keep it this way!  I love pinterest and have found so many organizational and cleaning tips. It is really helping me to stay motivated and keep up with my cleaning.

It is so much easier to keep a clear mind if I have a clean house!
