Operation Pantry

Organizing my kitchen cabinets can be a daunting task.  But there's a clause in my Operation Pantry that says, I am allowed to tackle this one shelf at a time.  Over the kids' spring break, I took a few days off and I tackled two shelves. 
 
The first shelf (top) houses majority of my baking ingredients, like whole flour, sugar, sprinkles, cupcake liners, choco chips, baking powder, ground cinammon and vanilla extract. I put the extra stocks right behind so everything is in one place.
 
The lower shelf is taken up mostly by my cooking spices. I have saved the empty jars of babyfood from my kids' wee years knowing that I'll put them to good use someday.  They are now home to my spices - basil, thyme, curry, cumin, oregano, cayenne, bay leaves, 5-spice, plum powder, and Italian seasoning.  On the lazy susan, I have my soysauce, vinegar, toothpicks, salt & pepper and sesame seeds.
 
Yes, I have a Hello Kitty obsession in the past. I collected the HK Strawberry edition of mostly kitchen and bathroom supplies. It was crazy, but I have made sure they get used now.

Organize: The Meds

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your families and friends. Now that the holiday is over, it's back to regular programming. And I start with organizing!


I found these alphabet stickers from Walmart recently. The lollipop font was screaming my name from the shelves. It was my favourite handwriting font back in the days. So  I got them without batting an eyelash. Then went home and immediately found the place to stick them.

There's this one cabinet in the kitchen that I have devoted to Mr. Hotpot. The hub has always been the family's physician, so the meds are sorta his thing.
 
I hope his collection doesn't go beyond the FEVER & FLU baskets I have put out for them.  The GLOW basket contains candles, scents, lighters and batteries.

A place for everything . Everything in its place.  One shelf at a time.

Letting Go

I just took down the decal I have so meticulously put up on Sashimi's room.  Boohoo.  Thought I would be leaving some of my personal touches in the sale of our home. But our agent doesn't agree. Toink!

I'm letting go. It's gone anyway.

Or maybe not...
There it goes until I bury it for good.

Decluttering


Our DVDs have conquered the chest ottoman. As I'll be needing the space to store the kids toys, I don't think I'll be needing these space-consuming plastic cases.


To the recycle bin you go.


All the disks goes into this folder, from IKEA.
