An unexpected job

I wish I could be more organized, I wish I was better at housekeeping and I wish I loved all of it - but I don't really.  I do what I can and I try to find the joy in it and I do have to say that I like it better than I once did.

My husband likes things super un-cluttered!  I often don't see the clutter.  This has lead to both the Tupperware drawer and the pantry to be 'the banes of his existence'.  So once I did a bit of de-cluttering in the pantry and often I do a bit of sorting in the Tupperware drawer, but it is a lot of work and hard for my brain so I don't do it as much as I should.

Well, the other day the pantry fell apart and so I had to finally organize it - check this out!!
 One side of the brackets that held the shelves up fell right off the wall.  Luckily nothing fell off the shelves, because there was tall stuff under the bottom shelf to hold up the whole assembly of them.  I wish I would have taken a picture of the skewed shelves in there before we took out all the food, but this is apparently how much food we have in our pantry - if fills the top of the island and a bunch of the floor!


My oldest daughter wiped all the shelves and so they are super clean - just like when we moved in a year ago!



My awesome husband re-hung the shelves and then I spent the evening, with help from the Princess putting it all back in.  Half empty bags of stuff were put in Tupperware, labeled and other miscellaneous items were sorted together in baskets.  I even took pictures so that we can try to keep it looking like THIS....








It is super awesome!  Now I can hopefully keep it that way!
