Today was a busy day for me, as M was at work for a 12 hour shift and I had both kids. My parents took our 3 year old for an overnight and I spent the baby's afternoon nap re-converting the toddler bed back to a crib (she's slept in a bassinet and then a pack & play in our room since we came home from the hospital). I ended up needing to switch around some furniture positioning in the girls' bedroom and then I changed the linens on the bed and crib. So I didn't have a ton of time to work on today's decluttering and I opted to tackle the cabinets over our store and the top of our refrigerator.
The over-stove cabinets mostly hold spices, oils, and vinegars. I cleaned out a bunch of old spices that were either nearly-empty jars or were clumped and useless. I also installed a small spice rack on the inside of the cabinet door so that I don't have spice jars falling on my head while I poke around in the cabinets for something in particular. Now our most-used spices and seasonings are easily accessible in the rack.
Then I hit the top of the fridge, but it was in decent shape. All I needed to do was to put dog treats in the dog treat canister and to move some tubes of sunblock into the correct place in the bathroom closet.
Day 2
Thrown Away: One large Target plastic bag full of old spices. The empty jars were recycled.
To Sell/Donate: Spinning spice carousel and jars and an Asian meal-for-two serving set (nice chopsticks, bowls, sauce dishes, etc.)
