Tackle It Tuesday~Pots and Pans

My Pot and Pan cupboard had been a source of irritation to many. Me... I have mommy brain, so I just really didn't care at the time. I figured it was going to get messy again any way. But I needed to show some care and consideration to others living in my household. ;-)

So, at Target, I found this little handy dandy thingamajig:

Thing is, I bought it thinking it would hold my "pots" not "pans". So I brought it home all excited that there was some solution to my problem. Well a few of my "pots" didn't fit. But MOST of them did. Yippie!!

I turned the thingamajig on it's side, rather than straight up and down.

Here is my before picture.

You can tell, I "really" didn't care. Many of my friends think I am "Martha Stewart" because I like to make whole wheat bread, and decorate cakes, and sew, and stuff. But there are some areas in my life that is weak. ;-)

So....Here is the after:

See my neat little areo pointing to my "pot" rack? Nifty, huh?

Also, my closet got a good cleaning, but I didn't take any before and after pictures of that. Besides, that is a bit way too personal for me to share. ;-)

Tackle It Tuesday~Cleaning Freenzy

Today I tackled alot of stuff. In preparation for homeschooling, I am trying to get all of the "little" stuff out of the way that will bug me, but I know I won't have time while I am homeschooling. Today I took a few before and after pictures of my tackles to share with you. :)

First I cleaned out the refrigerator. I didn't take a before picture of that, but I am telling the truth, it needed to be cleaned. ;-)

Then I cleaned Behind the Refrigerator:

After:

I even had a "BIG" helper

Then I cleaned Behind the stove:

Then I reorganized the pantry:

You really can't tell much in the after of the pantry. It is just so small, it is hard to look orderly. But I threw away out of date items, and regrouped things to where they belong. I also mopped up sticky stuff.

There are no before and after pictures of my girls room; but I kind of did a "spring" cleaning of it. I washed the walls, and baseboards. Washed Bedding, and cleaned up some puppy spots. I have alot more to do tomorrow too. :)
