I've been on a mission to organize my household including myself. Okay I'll admit that I'm not as organized as I would like to be. And this may be my way of thinking because I'm married to a man who is pretty anal retentive. As a result of this happy union....my expectations have become pretty high.
So below is what my pantry usually looks like. How does yours look? Well I don't think it's that horrible...but when things aren't organized the kids tend to just put stuff anywhere. Heck, I've been know to do the same. Well not anymore...I hope.
So on a extremely hot weekday, the kids and I stayed in and took everything out of the pantry.

Cereal Containers via BJ's Wholesale |
The day before we took a trip to Walmart and BJ's to pick up a few organizational items. This was after some serious research for ideas on Pinterest, as always these Pinners never disappoint.

Cork Board Squares via Walmart |
The green containers were an old purchase from Kmart and the white containers are from the Dollar Store. I made and printed some quick pantry labels. And that's it.
I paid a total of $40.00 for everything I purchased. Yes, I can be pretty organized too!
I love the baskets but I noticed that too many of them could be awkward. So I only used a few. The containers are a huge plus, they make it easy to be super organized and they keep everything fresh.
I used the cork squares to add a message board to the inside of the pantry doors. Looking at Pinterest, I wanted to use black board paint...but I decided to try this for now.
I really love how our pantry turned out. I've seen some fabulous ideas on Pinterest that were really inspiring and even intimidating. I even saw my dream pantry...but that's a job for another day and a different budget.
