Labeling my fridge was MAGIC!

3/19/2020

I needed to get regular groceries, and with the coronavirus rearing its head, I also purchased some back up groceries and a few other supplies.  This started the domino effect. I now needed to make some room for extra food and supplies. So, I started this week with my refrigerator. 

After discarding food, I cleaned it out. It’s nice and shiny on the inside and out!  I had some labels that needed to be re-done. They were coming off the shelves. Yes, I label my shelves!  

I originally labeled my refrigerator at least 6 years ago after I’d “HAD IT” with the frequent complaints that my kids couldn’t find things or claimed that they weren’t in the fridge.  Nine times out of ten, they were there. The people in the house didn’t want to take the time to look. I decided to label the shelves and drawers so that everything would have its “home” in the fridge.

I called my family to the kitchen and gave them a tour of the refrigerator. This is important when you organize any area of your home. The people who have access to the space need to know how you want to function.  This also applied to our family refrigerator.

After they stopped laughing at me, yes, they did! I gave the tour, explained my expectations, and it was MAGIC!  This revolutionized the hub of the kitchen.

  • “Where is….” questions were drastically reduced
  • Everyone knew where to look for the food items they wanted
  • Creating the grocery list was easier - I could easily tell what we needed
  • The fridge was organized

As you may have more people home and food to manage while we are beginning this era of the coronavirus, you may want to take some time to empty your fridge and make it easier for your family to use by labeling it!

I’d love to see how you have organized your refrigerator.  Share your photos- you may have just the idea that someone else is looking for!

    I coach busy, tired, and overwhelmed women who struggle with "winning at work and losing at home".  We work together to transform your life from chaotic to calm.  De-cluttering your home, paper piles, and over-flowing schedule will you the confidence, time an energy to do what God created for you to do. 

    I am a Christian, wife, and mom to six :)  I've struggled with feelings of hopelessness, depression, and overwhelm. I know first-hand that life can be really hard.  I also know that when you have someone walking along side of you, changing things in your life is so much easier.  We all need someone to walk beside us.  Let's Do It Together!
