A slight cheat on my organising goals

Remember the 4 organising goals for February?

Well, I always say start with the area that’s driving you nuts and when I looked at my kitchen counter one too many times last weekend, I had an aha moment.

The babies’ bottles and sippy cups have got to go.

I am reclaiming my counter space.

So this is what I did on the weekend.

First, the entire two shelves were full of plastic containers, also driving me nuts so I went wild and threw half of them away.

Actually, I threw them into the Pampers box.

That then created space – a whole shelf – for the baby things to all be in one space instead of mixed in with my other stuff.

I had that blue basket available so I used it like a tray – it is now easy to pull in and out without disrupting all the things in the front or back.

The big green ice bucket is recycled (we got baby gifts in it – stuffed animals and whatnot when the babies were born) and we now store sippy cups and bottles in it.

I am MUCH happier with my neater cupboard and best of all, I now have more counter space.
