My last post was about tackling the refrigerator and freezer. If the condition of those appliances didn't scare you away - I appreciate you giving me another shot!
Today we are going to continue in the kitchen and take a look at the spice cabinet and some of the other storage cabinets.

Operation Organization Post #1
I don't know if it is the Nesting Instinct kicking in already or if I had finally had my fill with my house being a perpetual disaster, but we spent our long Memorial Day Weekend on Operation Organization as I like to call it.
Over the next few posts, I am going to show you some of the projects and messes we tackled. I am embarrassed by the Before shots but I hope we can continue to be friends. :)
Maybe these posts will encourage you to do the same - or at the very least, allow you to scoff in horror at another household's mess!
My first room to tackle was da-da-daaaaaa - The Kitchen

Chore Chart
We decided to start a system of chores and allowance with K. So far, she has not bought into the whole idea. She keeps trying to convince us to just let her have the allowance without the chores. This could be a long process...
By doing this little system though I had the chance to make a chart. I am a sucker for all things "charty". I like binders, lists, notebooks, organization - you name it. I always loved being the one to call roll and put those satisfying little check marks in their respective boxes. I know, I know, I am one of "those" people. :)
We used a piece of foam core board that I picked up at the Dollar Tree. We added a scrapbook paper band across the top and the letters to spell Chore Chart.
Using more scrapbook paper we made pockets for each of K's tasks. The 7th pocket holds the chore markers that we will use to indicate K has completed a chore. These are just strips of textured card stock topped with a 3-dimensional sticker that goes with the theme of the board.
I will eventually add a ribbon hanger to it but at this time I really haven't decided where to hang it so it sits on K's dresser.
Now if I could just figure out how to get a three year old to want to clean up.
