I was supposed to share about my progress simplifying my kitchen. We have been in the process of eating down our pantry, using up some of what we have before getting more. I bought a little produce this week, but otherwise we stuck with what we had. My husband has been amazed. "It looks like we have no food but you keep feeding us!" As long as he isn't hungry he has no complaints. This has been a real budget saver for the month of July for us. It is the last week of the month, and I am going to take advantage of a chicken sale and still make my budget goal!
The major kitchen change (ok major may be an exaggeration) was the decluttering of the top of the fridge. This was actually all my husband's doing. (I guess decluttering is contagious!) We kept our sound system on top of the fridge (away from little hands) so we ended up with a pile of CDs on top of the fridge. We also kept the camera up there because with everything else, why not? It was a flat surface and becoming quite the catch-all. With some of the extra space from decluttering we put all the electronics, cords and paraphernalia in the pantry! It looks so nice now!

thanks for letting us link up again. Keep your chin up. I love your make a move mondays. It is a reminder to do something no matter how small it seems. The small things do add up to great things. Right now it is hard to see what the tapestery of my life is looking like because I am looking at one small thread. It is those small threads all linked together that weave our lives into something magical.
ReplyDeleteCatch-all surfaces are definitely something I have a lot of. Whenever I get around to decluttering one of them, I'm always amazed at the things I find that I had forgotten I even had!
