Cleaning is one of those things that tends to stay on my to-do list longer than it should. Whether it be laundry, mopping, or doing the dishes, I never seem to be in a huge rush to get it done.

However, I also know that the feeling of have a freshly cleaned house is a great one! Ya know what I mean?  Those 8 short minutes where the sink is empty of dishes before someone comes and puts a new cup or plate in there.  Well I went above and beyond this past week. Not only did I clean the kitchen, but I went an extra step and cleaned out the fridge and pantry too!  It’s a great feeling (and also a quick way to see how bad I need to go grocery shopping!)

So here are some visuals so you can see what I’m talking about:

My crazy, messy pantry…

it’s bad… I know

and now, the amazing after…

look at that pristine organization!

cans are all on their own shelf, no more over-stocking on cream of mushroom soup in this house!

then, best of all, I got a hug for my good work

There we go, I can officially scratch another item off my list!  It’s a good day in the Ringl house  :)
