Hoping it lasts!

I've reorganize my  fridge!  I'm so hoping it will last.

I cut down on condiments, put all the veggies at eye level and added lazy susans.

We are now using the wine fridge for leftovers.  Keeps the main fridge so much cleaner. I don't have a before picture of the inside but on the counter is all we took out of the fridge!

It aligns with minimalism but to take it a step further, I am making a 2 week rotation meal plan to keep my fridge packed with only the regular food I know we'll eat. It should save me money too...

Reusing foil balloons!

I saw a few years ago to we can reuse foil balloons and I have been doing it since but apparently not everyone knows about it so I thought I would share this secret ;-)

All you need is a straw! 


 You insert your straw in the opening. I suggest to always tie your balloons in a way that you can safely removed the ribbon.

You have to insert  the straw really deep  and then you can deflate or inflate your balloons as often as you want!

Minimalism in a crazy household!

I'm jumping on the minimalist bandwagon!  With 6 kids plus my niece living here full time its going to be interesting!  I'm also not the best at interior design so my house is a bit of everything.

We are still color coding all the kids dishes and Tupperware for school and it has been working really well for a few years now. 

The kids have two towels each and they keep them in their bedroom. They are in charge of them.  I do have more towels for adults, guess and occasional water spill... or flooding in some case!  

I started decluttering my closet and the boys. I also got the girls to do outfits.  It's not perfect but already so much better! 

You'll be able to follow our journey here!
