@itsreallycarly: I’m no pro by ANY means, but I’ve definitely improved since starting my venture of becoming a little more type A!! 💁🏻‍♀️ Here’s what’s working best: 1. RUN THE DISHWASHER EVERY NIGHT! I used to think it was a waste of water (or maybe it is 😂) if it wasn’t packed to the BRIM. But running it every night means no dishes left in the sink and you start the day with your most-used dishes clean. Plus, if it isn’t stuffed, it’s much easier to put away. 2. GET DISHES YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAND WASH. I used to wash SOOOOO many things by hand to keep them “nicer” longer, but they were cheap things that were going to get destroyed anyway. I recently invested in @Ahimsa Home plates, bowls, and cups for my kids and it’s a GAME CHANGER. Our plastic dishes never got clean, had cut marks everywhere, and honestly kind of smelled 😂 The stainless steel ones clean SO well, are incredible quality, and are overall better for my kiddos’ health. 3. KEEP ALL YOUR LEFTOVERS IN ONE PLACE. We recently upgraded to an @LG Electronics USA fridge with a flex drawer where we keep ALL our leftovers. It makes it so easy to see what needs to be eaten, what’s going bad, and what needs to go on trash day. Even without a drawer, keeping leftovers together helps avoid finding weeks-old pasta molding in the back 😅😂 4. DON’T KEEP A FULL DISH SET JUST BECAUSE IT’S A “SET.” This took me a loooooooong time to mentally break free from. My husband and I don’t drink hot coffee or tea, yet we had EIGHT coffee mugs because they matched our dishes. Why??!?! 😂 That was valuable cabinet space taken up by something we had NEVER used and never would. Don’t be afraid to get rid of silverware you don’t use or half of your glass cups because your house is full of kids who will break them anyway 😂 you can always get more IF you need them. Save the space and pass them along to someone who will use them! There are still sooooo many things I need to tackle in the kitchen, but it’s already SO much more functional and organized. What’s your best kitchen organizational tip?! What do I need to tackle next?!? Signed, a CURRENTLY unorganized girlie (but not for much longer 😉)
