Kitchen Drawer De-clutter!!

Okay SO you ever just get sick and tired of a cluttered kitchen drawer? I MOST DEFINITELY DID. You know the one, where you try to open it there's some spatula or wooden spoon that mysteriously lodged itself in between the end of the drawer and the front of the counter. You know what I mean....where the drawer opens MAYBE and inch or two? Just BARELY enough to get your fingers in to nudge the object out of the way so you can open the drawer again.

Well thats where I was with this one. I don't have a very big kitchen so storage is a real challenge. And more often than not, I run out of space for things. So I decided to clean it up a bit and finally pop in those liners to keep from everything sliding around when I fling the bad boy open.  These little cushiony things are great...the best part is that they come in rolls and you can customize them to fit any space needed! :) So maybe I may just make some CUTESY coasters, now that I think about it!

So I rolled it out in the drawer to get a good length.

I used scissors to get a good crease in the edges so that it made it easier to cut the right width.

Then I found my imaginary line and cut straight along the squares.

I added my baking,and cooking utensils nice and neat and now with the liner they STAY PUT!

AHHH a great feeling indeed....to see it look exactly the same when I open the drawer as I left it when I closed it!

Now on to the next one.....the eternally cluttered junk drawer!

just a bit of a clean up...i guess I'll have to do more thinking on this one.

For those little things like the rings that come with measuring cups or spoons that just get in the way....

So I didn't need this ring for my measuring cups but I kept it  for another  purpose...

potholders! After all what good are they if they are at the bottom of a drawer?

I just hooked them onto the ring..

and PRESTO!!! lol easy access!!

Yes I know I don't have a color scheme in my kitchen....I kinda need some assistance there! lol

What do you think? Any suggestions/ideas? Care to share your own posts on the same? 

Getting healthy for a GREAT cause

Good Morning Everyone!

So with being a mommy, not being in the Active Army and also not having much leeway to go out for runs on my own, I have decided to force myself into shape FOR A GOOD CAUSE!!

This year's resolution is to get healthy while helping others get healthy. I have decided to attempt every run/walk I come across. It's a great opportunity to get in shape by running and /or walking, while fundraising to give back to those who need it most, for example the runs/walks I am going to participate in will benefit the Special Olympics, Breast Cancer research and Lymphoma. I also intend to do one or two in support of Autism.

My first one is in April, it's called the Lincoln Tunnel challenge where the 5k is ran straight through one of the tubes that cross the Hudson River from New Jersey into New York. Isn't that so cool? How many of us will be able to say "I ran the Lincoln Tunnel"  I really can't wait and I have begun to focus on my running in order to bring my current run time down. The lower it gets can only mean the healthier I get, and the runs I do mean money is being given to organizations that benefit others :)

So from now until the event, you will see my newly added gadget on the right, that measures the donations received for this run.  Donations would be greatly GREATLY APPRECIATED....and its true what they say....

Every little bit counts....

I will also provide the actual website to process those donations, just comment me for directions and I will be happy to give you all of my info for the site. I also intend to document this run and hope to share it with you all!!!!
