I don’t know about you but my refrigerator is a black hole of freezer burnt food, topped with disorganization.  I have a dreaded side-by-side its way to small, nothing fits in either side, I have to rearrange it all the time to fit stuff after I grocery shop and freezer is like playing frozen food jenga.  Oh! and did I mention the freezer in the garage. That is usually packed with freezer mealsTR45, or bulk/y items since its a full size freezer.  inventory.jpg

So my solution WRITING ON THE DOOR!   I use a low odor fine point dry erase markers that comes off completely when I spray it with my homemade surface cleaner.  This helps me inventory everything I have, makes it easier to decide what is for dinner that is for sure.  As you can see my handwriting is horrible (Sorry).  This is my list of what I have in my freezer and the freezer out in the garage (that is what OUT means).  When I look at the list I can easily throw together dinner or if we have someone over I know what we have and if we have enough.  Another great thing is when someone is over or my husband is home they can easily look at the fridge and pick what they want to eat.

So that is one side of the fridge door on the other is what is in the cupboards & Meal Planning… Now for this wonderful photo I did rewrite I just left it the way it was so you can truly see what it looks like after a month.

After I use the item I either cross off the number or I just erase off the list. I let you in on a little secret I HATE SHOPPING and especially for groceries; the truth is I only go once a month.   When it comes to the next month/grocery time I take a photo and rewrite everything.  Then I use my custom shopping list and a highlighter to go shopping (I post the printable soon) .

Would you use this idea @ Home?

RSVPHi my name is Tonisha but my friends call me T.  That has been a nick name of mine since I was little and its a little easier to remember.  So a little about me, I am an introvert ADHD busy body that likes to take on too much, I take too long to make decisions and I love learning.  My brain never stops which is exhausting for the people around me (just ask my husband lol), I have a million and one new ideas everyday that I just can’t fit in my schedule (even though I bought a bigger planner).  I am constantly on the hunt to become a better person, mother, wife and friend.  I feel like some times I go so fast life is just getting out of control and well we all know I like control.  Who doesnt right?

This brings me to why I am doing this.  Why am I writing a blog when I cant sit still long enough to watch a 30 minute show.  I want to become better organized, focus in on who I am and get feedback.  What better way than sharing my life with the word like an open book?   With honing in on these things I want to become a better mother to my son, a wife to my husband and a better person in general.  Sometimes I feel like we loose site on what is important and now its my time to make time for what matters.  These are all things I hope that this blog brings to me.
