Pantry Make-Over

A blog and Pinterest that I stalk every now and then is Missy, better known as the How Does She lady.  She inspired me to give my pantry a little love, and that's just what I did today.  She gave five helpful tips to shape up anyone's pantry, and I used three out of those five to perform the makeover.    I hate that I forgot to take before pictures, so just use your imagination. :)

The first tip that I utilized was shelf liner/contact paper.  Not only is it cute and pretty, but it wipes down more easy for those messes that could occur.  I used two patterns because I liked them both.

The second tip that I utilized was to use containers for my flour, sugar, etc.  Seriously, if I would have taken a before picture, you would have seen my stuff in the original bag it came in.  Now, it's easier to measure and it doesn't make a powdery/grainy mess when I pour.  

Last but not least, I made a snack basket and put it on the lowest shelf, so the kids could get a snack at the appropriate times.  Why did I ever think that Shawn or myself needed to get up and get a snack every time.  DUH!  Oh the little things make life so much easier.

Some of our favorites include:  almonds, fiber one bars, organic fruit strips, and peanuts.
