The 40 Day Organization Challenge


I decided to start this challenge after my husband sent me a link from YourModernFamily. Let me just say that I'm a very disorganized person, so this will be a big challenge for me! I thought,  'how better to keep myself motivated through this journey by helping others while writing about it each day?' 

So here I go!


Day 1  Fridge clean-out

It was supposed to take me approximately 30 minutes to empty, clean and organize my refrigerator.  Lets just say that was not the case....
 I would say it took me at least 2 hours, but then again I had a screaming toddler at my feet. In the end, I had a nice sparkling clean fridge. 

Here's the how to...

Supplies:
 -rags
 -cleaner
 -glade press n seal wrap
 -masking tape
 -sharpie
------------------------------------------------------


Step 1- Empty fridge and clean thoroughly with some rags and a cleaner.

Step 2- Wrap refrigerator shelves in glade's press n seal wrap, making spills easier to clean up.

Step 3- Label foods with dates (opened or cooked, etc.); use the masking tape for non disposable containers to create the label, or write directly onto disposable containers.

Step 4- Allow nothing but a few photos on the door of the fridge to keep it looking organized.  Important papers and such can be tucked away on the side of the fridge.  Make a label out of masking tape to stick onto the front of the fridge and write today's date. Clean out your fridge 30 days from now.
