House declutter challenge

Money Saving Mom is having a decluttering challenge. Her first assignment was to declutter and organize the living room and closets. Here are my before pictures.

Here are my after pictures.

I ended up getting rid of one coat, several gloves that were missing the mate, some mittens the boys will outgrown next year and some odds and ends for a total of 8 items

Organizing

At our March Mother of Multiples meeting, Shelly showed us ways to get organized. She has really given me some inspiration to get organized. I started with my kitchen, and especially my pantry. Below are some before and after pictures.

Before

After

This pantry is actually only a small sampling of the food I have. Most of my extra food is stored in my basement on shelves. I have so much food thanks to Shelly teaching me about using coupons. I have saved well over a thousand dollars by using some of the tricks she has taught me, so now I don't pay for a lot of my health and beauty products and know when to stock up on groceries to get the most for my money.

I also cleaned my cupboards and organized my upstairs bathroom cupboards. I didn't get a picture taken of that area.
