It's Day 11 of our 'Organize your space in 50 days!' series. The best part of this project is that you only have to spend a few minutes every day (and not a lot of money), to get life -altering results. It's Sunday again, and a good day to think about planning for the week ahead. Getting your supplies together for lunch prep will save you time, and make your week a lot less stressful. Plus you still have time to grab some sandwich bags from the store, if you're running low. Who wants to deal with running out midweek?! Now have you ever tried to coral a stack of sandwich bags that have broken free of the box they came in (as they always do)? A bag organizer keeps things tidy, attractive...and clean. You never have to deal with grubby fingers smearing peanut butter and jelly on an entire box of lunch bags! And the icing on the cake - now you can tell at a glance when you're running low. I got this from amazon. They come in several colors, including white, black and several wood tones. There are plastic ones too. This took all of 2 minutes! Now you're all set for packing lunches the rest of the week. Yay! 😇😇😇

It's Day 10 of our 'Organize your space in 50 days!' series. 20% down and 80% to go. Phew! Saturdays are great days to do major groceries. Shopping efficiently and putting things away is so easy when you allocate a place for everything. The best system is to divide your space into 'zones' for specific functions and tasks. I've shown you one half of my 'Drinks zone' last week, with the beverage station and everything you need for warm drinks. On the other side of the refrigerator, I have a couple of drink drawers - makes it so easy to refill the refrigerator. Just grab and refill simultaneously. It's been about 105 degrees all week in Dallas, so heaven-forbid you run out of cold drinks (I shudder to think)! I'm planning to start re-organizing the pantry on Monday as I have the day off...so I'll show you the rest of the grocery unpacking then. Stay tuned! 🥳🥳🥳

It's Saturday and Day 3 of our 'Organize your space in 50 days!' series. It's the weekend, so perhaps a good time to tackle one of the more time-consuming projects - organizing your spices. This wasn't as hard as I thought. The bottles were from Amazon, and so were the labels. I had to improvise a bit on some labels cos I have some less common spices 🙁. I do make and ship custom labels to out of town clients, but this would do in a pinch. I'm currently working on setting up an online store so you can order your own set of customized labels from my store. Stay tuned for more info on that. The larger spices are OXO containers; the ones I use most often are in a drawer right by the cooker and the more exotic ones up in a cabinet. I love love love having my spices right where I need them! 😍 I'm feeling very accomplished! 😇😇😇

It's Day 2 of our 'Organize your space in 50 days!' series. 🤸🏽‍♂️🤸🏽‍♂️🤸🏽‍♂️ The best part of this project is that you only have to spend a few minutes every day (and not a lot of money), to get life-altering results. I loved the results from the silverware drawer so much, I went a lil' crazy with it. Hence this fun party double-drawer. If you have kids, this would be a winner! For adults, just change up the contents and you're good to go. This took about 10 to 15 minutes. Well 25 minutes if you count the 10 whole minutes that I spent admiring it. Now you're all set for entertaining this weekend. Yay! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
