Operation KITCHEN Organization!

How often do you actually take everything out of your kitchen cabinets and disinfect the surface of each cabinet. Let's not even think about that... ewww! Today is a new start!! We are going to take everything OUT of kitchen cabinets, organize, throw, donate, disinfect, and put back. It sounds overwhelming, doesn't it? Give yourself a good couple of  hours days! Put the kids down for naps and just GO FOR IT! :) Once you get going, it goes pretty fast! I promise.
(I honestly can't believe that I am going to be putting my
entire messy kitchen on the internet for ALL to see!) Here we go!!

Seriously, this was soooo refreshing! I would consider myself an "organized person" before I even began this process. But going through this, I realized that I am not as organized as I thought I was. My goal is to KEEP IT THIS WAY!! :)
