Clutter Free January: Pantry & Toy Storage

Dear Sis,

This month our mom group is getting ahead this year, by working on decluttering our homes. Today we took everything out of the pantry. We discarded everything expired, wiped each shelf, and restocked what remained. Our pantry is small! I would have never guessed that 2 trash bags of stuff could come out of it!!! It’s so much easier to meal plan, with tidy food storage!

After all the time at home tidying, the kids and I decided to visit Once Upon a Child. We found a great KidKraft train table, that looks like grown-up furniture. It has added great storage and another play surface to the living room! I think it is going to be an awesome fit for our family. At $38, it’s hard to do it wrong… lol.

Happy Decluttering!

Love,

b
