I wanted to have a bowl of cereal and piece of toast before going to bed the other night. I shuffled to the pantry, and was disheartened to find 3 nearly-empty cereal boxes, and 2 bread sacks with a few dry slices them.
Who maintains this place, anyway?
You'd think they could do a better job.
Anyway, it got me to looking at the other odd things in my pantry, and led me to a quick purge.
I like to call it a "pounce."
The empty granola bar boxes.
The messy honey jar.
The coffee grounds.
The stale cookies.
I turned the cans and quickly rearranged them so I could see the labels.
I did not get any further than that. The baking stuff and spices are still in disarray, and the dry staples are not in a state that I'm proud of.
But, hey. This is just a POUNCE, right? Not a big hairy PURGE. Not a major pull-everything-out-and-clean-from-top-to-bottom pantry organization.
I'm quite OK with that.
Today's Small Thing is to do a Pantry Pounce. Quickly pick one area (like bread and cereal) to straighten up. It will literally only take 5 minutes to make things look pretty good! Discard empty containers, consolidate what you can, and arrange things so you can see them. Then close the doors and move on!
POINTS: 40 for a Pantry Pounce!
