Those clear pantry bins with labels are cute , but do they work for YOUR house and YOUR family ?
One of the biggest lessons I have learned as a mom, is that keeping a house somewhat organized is a big task . Finding organization systems that actually work is key
For the longest time I was stuck on the idea of having the Pinterest perfect pantry . The one with no packaging showing. All clear bins with the chalk board style labels.
While this idea might work in another Mom’s home ….it doesn’t work in mine . I don’t have the attention span or time to commit to emptying every fff ing package of food . I also don’t have the budget to go and buy enough containers to fit everything .
All of the bulk grains/beans/nuts I buy end up in repurposed mason jars and the rest can stay as it is .
It isn’t perfect but it’s practical for ME . Another example is the old nightstand that is permanently parked on our staircase. It’s the perfect spot to store diapers/wipes for the girls, while not being right at child level reach. The top of it also serves as a spot to toss anything that needs to go upstairs at the end of the day . Sounds insane but it works for me .
Putting these little systems in place can have a big impact on keeping the house organized. They don’t need to make sense for anyone but YOU . Create systems that are practical, so you can be consistent with them .
I would love to hear some of your organization systems that might seem a bit odd , but work for your family !
