    Girl I gave up on the "spice cabinet" and moved all my spices to the drawer beside my stove. I can open the drawer, look down at all of them at once, and the empty spot is where is goes when I return it. It works soooooo much better!

    Tip for skirt slits… I have had a seamstress put a piece of eyelet fabric in a slit that was too high and she did it accordion-style so that it was flexible. Worked out wonderfully.

    Awwww, I love that your friend had the kids so close! Sounds like our 1999! Son born in January and then 9 months, 3 weeks later, our daughter was born! Definitely like twins, Hard, but yet, made it easier too! Bottles together, diaper changes together, feeding together, potty training together, etc, etc, etc. They literally were INSEPERABLE! BEST FRIENDS. Then into their teens, went thru a spell, avoided/hated each other, but now... both are 23 and close again! 💖💖

    I have 4 grown kids, but my middle two boys are Irish twins. For a week out of every year they are the same age. They are 31 and 32 now, and have always been best friends and still hang out together all the time even now that they have families. They act more like twins than regular brothers. They even had their own language when they were little 😃

    Dana K White; The Secret Slob; The Minimal Mom; Clutterbug; Simply Life and Minimalist Home all say set an alarm for 5, 10, 15, 0r whatever minutes you have to spare to declutter. Don't stress out by trying to do it in a day and feel you failed when you can't complete the project. I love Dana K White's method the most for decluttering because you don't have a mess to clean up if you get interrupted in the process. Hope this helps! God bless you and yours! BTW, Happy belated birthday!!

    Love the spice cabinet organization. One suggestion/ idea if you haven’t tried it would be to alphabetize the spices. It sounds silly, but I can’t believe how handy it is. Also, if you have duplicate spices, something I’ve found to be helpful is to check the expiration date and then take a small piece of masking tape and write number one on the bottle that needs to be used first.

    • @MeganFoxUnlocked
      @MeganFoxUnlocked  Год назад +1

    Last week while decluttering, I finally decided to get rid of our ENTIRE collection of greeting cards (cards/letters from my husband were the exception :). We literally had hundreds that dated back to 2005--from Christmas, to birthday, graduation, even wedding. I held onto them over the years because of guilt, but I can't tell you how incredibly liberating it was to finally part ways with them 😊

    Hi Megan. little tip to save you cropping your screen shots you can use the snipping tool which has the shortcut shift, windows, s. this allows you to select just the area on the screen you want to copy it will mean not having to crop out the rest of the screen. As a teacher I love the snipping tool use it all the time when creating lesson slides, and resources. It was my favourite thing I learnt on my course :)
    I love a good sort out but I do get that 'why did I start this' moment part way through. Well done for getting it all done, its a great feeling when it all looks pretty at the end isn't it? :)

    I love New Creation Apparel for skirts. They focus more on maxi skirts, but that's handy here in the winter, and they do a good job not making them constricting or hard to walk in. My favorite thing is that they offer 3 lengths in most of their skirts, so I can actually get LONG maxi skirts. They also have a really nice line of maternity options.

    So glad you got the skirt hangers. Last time I watched your closet clean out video(probably 2 years ago) I was thinking “how can she have her skirts draped over like that?” They definitely look so much prettier on the beautiful wood hangers and I bet they will be less wrinkled too. I have been watching different channels that have reorganized the spice cabinet to decide what I want to do too. I’ve been dreaming of a pretty and functional system for a few years. So glad you have those pretty jars now. I plan to splurge on this because I use it so much and it’s always a huge clutter mess of searching for what I need while cooking. Great video!

    I have decluttered the spice cabinet multiple times since my husband moved to Kazakhstan in Jan. 2019. I finally, got a spice lazy susan and have been very happy. The majority of the spices are ones that I use, and there are a few that my husband uses. I figure when he returns for good to the US in June 2025, we can update the spice cabinet/lazy susan as needed at that time.

    The first summer after we moved from Pa to Florida we had a terrible ant infestation in our house. Everything in the pantry had to be thrown away.They were in the trash cans - even all over the dirty laundry.Well, that summer QVC made a fortune off me because I purchased so many pantry size sets of lock & lock. Now every item in my pantry is in a lock & lock., except the canned items or the spices - I only buy spices in glass jars with tight lids.If I need to buy spices in the paper envolope like taco seasoning for example, I put that envelope into a zip lock bag and once opened any remaining is thrown away. I also went from an open basket in my closet for laundry to a hamper that seals closed.Even the trash is now in a container that seals closed that I got at The Container Store.
