Organizing the Spice Drawer

I love the feeling of a new year, full of new ambitions.  Why not try to make your life a better, healthier, happier one.  Even if you don't succeed on a specific goal, at least you are trying to improve something!

....all that to say, so many of us try to organize and simplify things in January.  I am starting out with my spice drawer.


Well, actually, my husband started this project.  He just couldn't take it one day and decided to label all of the spices in our drawer.  This is when I found out that I buy repeats of spices because I can't find them, or remember if I bought a replacement or not.  ....so 4 jars of curry later I decided to help.

I made these really simple labels for the top of our spice jars.  They are 1" in diameter.  I found this fits most of my spices perfectly!  You can download your own blank labels here!


I printed a sheet of the labels at home.  I don't have a laminator so I put the cut circles in between two pieces of packing tape and trimmed the rest.  I used double-stick tape to adhere the circles to the spices.  This way I can transfer the labels when I buy new bottles!


Doesn't that look so much better!  I can tell you my husband was more excited than I was for this DIY organization project.

Resolve to do Something

Are you starting off the New Year with a bang too?  I am one of those weird people that love New Year Resolutions.  I have a fairly good track record when it comes to resolutions, too.  (I was a vegetarian for a year in college!)  So here is a little list of resolutions I want to try for in 2014.

-Be a great wife.
-Take more photos.
-Workout!
-Try paleo meals.
-Hike once a month.
-Be hospitable.
-Garden.
-Watch more movies.


Do you need a little reminder to keep yourself motivated?  Yeah, me too.  That's why I made this fun January background image for your computer, iPad and iPhone.  Just click on the size you want below...it's FREE!
