Well, here I am back with my second “Tackle It Tuesday” post and I am happy to say that I tackled a couple of things around the house this past week and I am so happy about it. I have so many things that need to be done. My two youngest are in 1/2 day Kindergarten this year so I have some additional time on my hands to finally tackle some projects that I have been putting off for a looooong time.
I found some really good deals at the supermarket last week and I had hardly any space in the pantry to put all the groceries I bought. So, I decided that instead of just stuffing those items into the closet, I would go shelf-by-shelf cleaning out and reorganizing the pantry. I found items that I am never going to use and will be donating them to the local food pantry and I tossed out items that were past their due date (some WAAAY past.) I have a few items on the floor of the pantry and I dragged them all out into the hallway and vacuumed out all the dust and dirt that was on the floor. Then, I reorganized what was left. I did not take a “before” photo but I did take an “after” photo to share. Here is what my pantry looks like now after the cleaning & reorganizing:
Another big tackle this week was cleaning out & reorganizing a “small” section of my basement. This was more of a reorganization and vacuuming up all the dirt on the floor and the spider webs rather than actually purging stuff that I no longer need (although I think I did get rid of two small boxes of “stuff” that was just taking up space). My next goal for this area is to really look at what is in all those boxes and decide if I really need those items (doubt it!). But, that will have to wait for another day. Here is an “after” shot of that project:
What have you tackled this week? Leave me a comment and let me know. I’m linking up to Tackle It Tuesday on 5 Minutes for Mom.
