Next we need to move onto the laundry room…this is def a challenge in my house. I have my laundry on the same floor as the bedrooms. So, it is always on my mind. I walk past it at least 100 times per day. I struggle because I want it to be organized but there are so many elements that need to come together to get it there!!! Here are some of my favorite laundry rooms….stay tuned for Friday’s post with some items that I found to help get your laundry room in order!!!!
Today’s Book Club Monday choice is How To Break Up with Your Phone by Catherine Price. I saw this in a book store over the holidays and was immediately intrigued. I put it on my list for the new year and now I am getting around to breaking it out!!! From the reviews…I am hearing that it is a life changing must read…Here is how it goes:
Is your phone the first thing you reach for in the morning and the last thing you touch before bed? Do you frequently pick it up “just to check,” only to look up forty-five minutes later wondering where the time has gone? Do you say you want to spend less time on your phone—but have no idea how to do so without giving it up completely? If so, this book is your solution.
As promised, but a day late, here are some of the best pantry storage items. Anyone would keep your items neat and in order. The key is to choose one style and stick with it. So, for example, all the baskets should be the same and all “dry” containers should be the same. Keep items organized by purpose and type…ie all baking goods together, all cans together, rice and potatoes together, pastas together. Cereal, flour, nuts, and other “dry goods” can be stored in plastic containers. There should be one basket devoted to “chips and snacks”. Happy Organizing!!!!
Here are the baskets I ordered for my pantry..I use a combo of the different sizes.
Here is another style if you like access from the front of the basket…
This is great to store cans…..

When the meat is done, boil egg noodles, drain and mix with butter.
Spoon the meat over the noodles. Serve
**** If it gets too thick add a little more beef stock but mine really didn’t
Yesterday I visited the new location of the Fairfield County Antique and Design center in Norwalk, CT. My sponsor, Iconic Modern Home just moved with them into the new space with their own stand alone showroom and entrance.. OMG!!!! It is Fabulous…The 12,000 square foot multi dealer center (over 40 dealers total) is filled with incredible styles of art, furniture, jewelry, clothing, accessories for the home and so much more…I fell in love with EVERYTHING..it was soooooo hard to narrow it down for one post…but here is a sneak peek of the center. I walked around for a while and I thought the selection was much better and the prices more attractive than other similar places I have been to in the past. YOU HAVE TO GO and see this gem for yourself…for more information and directions, click HERE.
About a year and 1/2 ago I set out to make my pantry perfect. With 3 teenagers going in and out and me looking for all my cooking ingredients daily, needless to say it stays organized for about 5 min. I am going to embark on this project yet again and really needed some inspiration…Here is what I came up with…I love how organized these pantries are. And, the accessories are incredible. I am going to spend the next couple of days finding just the right items to tidy up my space. Stay tuned for Friday’s post with my favs finds and links to purchase!!!!
