Personal Note from Janine

use glass containers for organizing

Organizing is in my genes.

My mom was a super organized person. With a family of seven, she had to be efficient with everything related to our home. Looking back, I’m not sure how she did it all.

She was a Martha Stewart type before there was a Martha Stewart!

Back in the day, when people used food coupons, she had files of coupons. Not only did she have one file but many. I don’t want to get into her whole system. But trust me. She was thorough.

Even though some of it gives me PTSD, a little of her temperament rubbed off on me.

Since I spend plenty of time in the kitchen, I have that room organized to the max. It did take many years to perfect it all, but now it’s pretty streamlined. My mom would approve if she were still alive.

I realized that an organized house makes me happy and saves time and money. And that’s a good thing.

I hope this Saturday Chitchat inspires you to join the New Year’s organizing tradition.

Happy Weekend to you!

This Week’s Tip – Under the Sink, Slide Our Shelf

A Well-Built Slide Our Shelf

Over the years, I’ve struggled with the space under our kitchen sink. It takes work to organize and retrieve things from this area.

One day, I had enough and decided to bite the bullet and buy a slide-out shelf.

Now our experience with finding things under the sink is so easy. We pull out this sleek metal double shelf, and all our cleaning products are accessible. This excellent organizing product has changed the whole space.

I highly recommend investing in and installing this efficient pullout shelf.

Also, with our water filtration system leaking over the years, we finally bought a catch basin under the sink. This rubber boot tray protects the cabinetry from any water leaks. It is a must-have for under the sink.

Latest Obsession – A Well-Organized Dishwasher

My Favorite Dishwasher

I’m obsessed with our reasonably new dishwasher. Unfortunately, we have yet to have good luck with dishwashers. But finally, our luck is turning around, and our new one is fabulous.
Here are a couple of things that I love about it.


It is super quiet. With our last dishwasher, we had to run it when we went to bed since it was so loud. Since our television is a few feet away, we can still run it and watch a movie.


This dishwasher has a third upper rack, and it’s fabulous when it comes to organizing our dirty dishes. The efficient design allows ample room for everything.


Also, it gets our dishes super clean, which makes us happy!
It doesn’t hurt that it got great reviews as well. It is the same brand as our last dishwasher, so I was scared to give them a second chance. But they nailed the design on this model!


Hello!

I hope you had a good time with me on the blog!

These ideas have inspired you to organize your pantry items and own snacks. Now you will have easy access to all snacks, foods, and more!
