This isn't some earth-shattering, tear jerking post. Just something nerdy that I've kept saying I was going to document. If you know me well, you know that I'm kind of an organization freak that is a total mess. As in, I LOVE to organize things, but, I'm not the best at actually putting things where they belong on a daily basis. Yes, it's totally counter-productive, I know. So, almost TWO years ago...I was on maternity leave with the babies - all of them :). Because, let's be honest...Molly was still a baby (still is)...looking back, I want to smack myself. I thought she was so grown. I hope I relished in her baby-dom like I have tried to relish in the twins. I digress...
Anyway, so, one fine January day in 2012, I embarked on cleaning and organizing our pantry and cabinets. Molly did this:
This was her first experience with the stamps that Aunt Kelly and Uncle Jeff gave her for her upcoming birthday. I wasn't thrilled with the results...but, hey, I'd just let a 23 month old go CrAzY with stamps for almost two hours. It was blissful...albeit messy.
After one trip to the Container Store (with my girl, Emma...where we both got high on organizing ideas)....our pantry looked like this...
And, thanks to Amazon Prime, less than one week later, our pantry is this glorious disaster with shelves...that pull out for total convenience.
This pantry could still go a long way with some serious Tupperware, but, oh, my...it's a gazillion times easier to find things now...and it just makes me smile when I open those doors (who are kiddie proofed with a pony tail holder :)). That's right, people...I'm a complete nerd. If you want any help organizing...you now know who to call :).
Now this is my kind of pantry; and I thought I was the only only one with this compulsion. I love my organized pantry and cabinets. I need to find where you found the pull out shelves. Those are great!
