Don't be embarassed. Most of us are here to get help and ideas, because we have messes. It's nice to see honesty, and to get advice from a person who has the same challenges we do, instead of making up organizing stuff for their model looking home.
I noticed your meat was in the middle of the fridge above the fruit. One thing I picked up while working in a restaurant was to store things safely you want to be careful of what you put vertically on top of what. The trick I was told was the higher the temperature you have to cook it to be safe, the lower it should be in the fridge so that if anything were to drip down it wouldn’t contaminate anything below it in a way that wouldn’t be cooked off. For example raw foods like fruits/ veggies on top, then eggs and fish, then chicken, then pork and beef on bottom. In a household fridge I would normally just devote specifically the bottom shelf to any raw or defrosting meats and most other stuff ends up okay.
I learned the same about cross contamination from Alton Brown. Meat should be lower than produce and in a spill proof container. Better safe than e-coli. Another thing I learned from him is to keep a few plastic bottles filled with water on the freezer. Whenever I cook a big batch - beans, chili, etc - I set the full huge hot pot on the full sink with the frozen bottles and in half an hour it's cool enough to go into the fridge. Less time in the "danger zone" of temperature where bacteria can grow.
That’s a great point, however for me that bottom of my fridge is the warmest, and at the top everything freezes. I rent so I can’t do much about it except rearrange. I usually put dressing and waters at the top bc it’s too cold for anything else, they freeze sometimes too!
@@dianak.8209 my fridge does that too on the top shelf, can't keep sour cream up there or it gets ruined because when it thaws it's an awful texture. I put meats in the middle in a bowl so if anything leaks out of the bag it goes into the bowl. We have glass shelves, too, but you'd be surprised what can drop down anyway.
😂 I seriously laughed so loud when you said your husband called you to ask if Jam was a spread or a sauce 😂 💀 sounds like something my husband would do!
I had similar cabinets in my last house (with the same silver strips and shelf clips). Instead of a lot of risers, I bought extra shelves (big hardware stores can cut them to size for you) and clips and adjusted all of the shelves to what I needed. The extra shelves worked wonders for my organization!
Pro-tip (from someone who comes from the country of spices and had to mix them with another cuisine/ country’s spices): organize them alphabetically left to right or top to bottom. It saves a minute every time you’re looking for that lesser used spice and let’s you know when you never had one to begin with.
Girl I absolutely love you for this video. I have been needing to organize so badly . I would go to the dollar tree and throw a bunch of organizing buckets in my cart but then I would stop and realize that I actually need to have a plan in mind, as well as measurements. This is so helpful. Especially the mud room. My son is a little younger than yours. Thanks so much for this! You're the best.
Thank you for another bang on video.Not only do I not have a mud room in my small Apt., I didn’t even know what a mud room was ? So, when I walk into my Apt I am literally walking into my tiny dining room/living room.No closet and nowhere to put a catchal because I need a place to eat and the kitchen is only big enough to stand in and turn on a dime. There is a decent size pantry that holds all my groceries,tubleware,napkins,paper towels laundry detergent and cleaners( minimal ) and very well organized .I have one small linen closet( minimal towels and sheets and some toiletries on it’s floor because my tiny bathroom has no countertops-yes, you heard right NO,NOT ONE COUNTERTOP ! Found a small white 3 drawer piece of furniture that fits perfectly between camod and sink and it has saved me. Brushes,makeup,soap absolute necessities for a woman.Have donated or thrown out so much STUFF even before I found you and now your helping me take that leap of faith and get rid of,throw out,throw out - how very liberating.Adore your channel,Happy Holidays❤️💚😘.
Wonderful, PRACTICAL ideas! Thank you. This speaks to my brain, lol. I also love the fact that you are encouraging independence with your son. His future teachers will thank you.
I love your comments and suggestions. We live 2 1/2 hours from the nearest Ikea in the Detroit, Michigan area. So, hearing about your suggestions is REALLY helpful! Thank you so much!
Your son is just precious❤️ We are moving out of our larger house into a condo temporarily (about a year) till our new house is built and I’m so overwhelmed with “small space organizing”!! I am a super organized person but I’ve never had to shove 5000 sq ft into 1800 sq ft....super challenging! I got some great ideas....Thanks!
That seems like a great idea in theory but over time I can’t see how that would work. Our rotation changes and the size of the products may change .. plus condensation would pull those labels away. I think I will save time and skip the labels
Great job! Kallie, I had the same problem with my spices. I was able to find a co-op type store, where I could buy smaller amounts of spices and put them in my own spice jars. I have been doing this for a few years and it has worked great. You might want to inquire locally to see if there is anything like that in your area. I also have purchased the clear cutting mats, at Dollar Tree, to put on the glass shelves in my refrigerator. They work great, I just routinely remove them and wash them, then put them back. TYFS.
My 1930 farmhouse has these EXACT same issues- I've been minimizing & reorganizing lately & so appreciate your super helpful & practical tips for how to deal
I have to say I found your kitchen reorganisation inspiring. We have limited space, lots or up high spots and some incredibly thin cupboard. I love your thinking outside the box to maximise the spaces. It has made me think about how best I can utilise my space for optimum storage. Thank you and many blessings x
I loved this video. Miles space and your labeling reminded me of when my son was young and beginning to put things away I printed pictures of the things and stuck them to the outside of his dressers and drawers. This way he could see a picture of shoes, diapers, shorts, pants etc. and know where they went. It was awesome and he felt very empowered and accomplished to be able to help put things away and to have his own space. Thanks again for another quick but very useful video.
I agree that thinking about how to organize a space before buying supplies is beneficial. I also think it is important to think about your personality & what you are willing to do to keep up with a storage/organizational system. I have seen videos in which people have food in different containers, and thought, "Nope!" If it works for me it may not work for you, so it pays to be honest with yourself. I think people need to be realistic about themselves. and organize by how they live, not how they think they should live.
This was sooooo helpful! Our house was built in 1940 and it still has the original cabinets as well! Our dishes don’t fit in the top cupboards. The bottom cupboards are super deep. Barely any cabinets to even begin with. The water heater is in the kitchen taking up even more real estate. We used some metal shelving from our last home in the corner where we store pots and pans, appliances, our dinner plates, etc. No pantry. You have some great ideas! We too plan to remodel... someday, but for now we need some better flow and organization in here as well. Thank you for inspiring me!
Your channel has helped me so much organizing my house I loved the lazy Susan in the cabinet & the silverware drawer I even got my hall closet organized and my daughter's
I like to label things too! I find that because I am a visual person, labeling things helps me feel more together and it helps me keep things organized. You are not alone in having dumping grounds for things. I find when I get home from work that I dump things, but then I am working on taking care of what I dumped before I go to bed. That is something new I have been working on. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I am learning a lot!
Wow! Thank you for this video! It was so practical and real. It motivates me to tackle some disaster areas in my kitchen. I hostess events at least 3 times a month and I need more functionality/organization/labels for when my guests want to help me in the kitchen.
I label EVERYTHING in my kitchen! I have all my cabinet shelves labeled with what dish goes where, the pantry is labeled with the types of foods that goes where, and of course, my refrigerator shelves are labeled! This works for me; now if I could just get my husband to read the labels! But at least he helps me.
Good for you on teaching Miles independence. It is the best thing you can do for your child other than loving them for who they are. Mine helped with laundry, helped pick up, etc... Her help wasn't always perfect, but it taught her how to do things over the years.
I love how practical you are. I also loved when your son turned around and gave you that huge hug and you got that on film… Precious moment there. Thanks for sharing
This was very helpful. I recently moved to our new house and we have loads of items to put away. Labelling the refrigerator is a super smart idea. I used to have a mental note about where things go but as you said not everyone in the house would know the right way.. so labelling works wonders in keeping everything under check.
I use the clear shelf liners that come in rolls and line everything, including the bins and door shelves. If you use the clear liner, then the light shines through to the orher shelves,
You are so not alone. I am a whole lot older than you and I have always had this problem. Since watching DIY'S I am a lot more organized. Thank you for your help too.
This inspired me to declutter my cabinets as well. Im just going to do two cabinets though. Can't let the family think I'm doing something drastic that may ruin their lives and what not
I’m amused that a step stool was such a novel idea for you! I’m 5’1” & have folding step stools all over my house! I even keep a retractable back scratcher in my purse to reach things that are high up when I’m shopping! 😂😂😂
I love how you have your son putting his stuff up too. So cute. I think organizing the fridge might even make it easier to grocery shop. Great ideas- thank you!
In my kitchen I attach each lid to each container. It’s very helpful. It looks like we both have an Nespresso machine too ( I recognize those coffee pods ).
When I move into a new house I step back and decide where I want my "coffee bar", my baking station, and my dinnerware. You crack me up using the term Tupperware, when it is actually just plastic. Lol
The labels are great. The contact paper in the fridge is an awesome idea. I use Dollar Tree chopping mats for the same reason. They stay put and if they get messy, they’re easy to wash. Miles is adorable!! 😀
Above the fridge is ABSOLUTELY "wasted space". (Guess I could say used to be) Thanks for the container ideas! 👍 I'm getting my measuring tape & going to put some "occasionally use" items up there! 😁
What's a little clutter between friends? No judgment. I tried lining the fridge shelves, but it blocked so much light. In a small room vertical is the only way to go. I was happy to see you realized a foot stool was the answer to that problem. Good tips! TFS!
It's nice to see a real home & real people .. Most videos are big ass mansions that are brand new & if someone has issues organizing some of these beautiful big places too bad it should be much easier lol 😉 .. I live in a studio with old tall cabinets ..I feel you ! I need a 3 step stool lol 😂 I only have like 4 cabinets lol 😂👍🏻 Thank you 🙏🏼
This video couldn’t be more timely! I was at Dollar Tree yesterday to buy storage bins and thought about your Dollar Tree videos, which are really helpful! I’m going to begin reorganizing my hot mess of a kitchen pantry, which is the purpose for my Dollar Tree storage bins. lol But you’re giving me more ideas to other organizing needs we have around the house. Thank you for all your super helpful (and funny) videos! 😊
Love your videos! Just an idea, I use the chopping mats in the refrigerator (instead of contact paper), they fit just right and when they're dirty I can just wash them and then replace. Thanks for all your ideas!
Those wire shelves you put in the cupboard are awesome! I got two for my first apartment because I had WAY more dishes and mugs and cups than a single person needed (people gave me so much stuff!). I also love the idea of the hanging basket, I might have to incorporate that into our new place we move to next week. It’s a very small galley kitchen, so we have to be smart with how we organize. Thanks for this video!
Callie, great job and outcome! I love some of your suggestions and will incorporate them into my own home. I also have a labeler and I think I would die without it! It is the best thing and does more toward keeping you organized than anything else I own. I have, however, never done the same thing in the refrigerator and I think that’s a wonderful idea. I have those clear refrigerator bins and turntables and they work really, really well but I’ve noticed that I go looking through them to find things instead of actually labeling them with what is inside each one. I think I’m going to go back and re-look at that and see if there is a better way to organize that so I’m not digging through it. I can’t thank you enough for this and I know it’s hard to let everybody see all your stuff but you have no idea what it does for the rest of us because, believe it or not, we all have stuff that looks just like that! Thank you so much for sharing and have a wonderful Memorial Day!
I use the dollar tree clear cutting mats to line my fridge shelves or you can cut their place mats and not have to deal with the adhesive issue. Also the clear mats don't block the light.
I love my label maker! It is the best organizational tool EVER! I even labeled my light switches that have multiple toggles per switch per room. Guests love the light switches labeled!
Love this! We also have a lot of vertical kitchen space, so wire shelves have been a life saver. Got a cute wooden step stool in my favorite color (teal). It's been taken over by my toddler as a desk, despite her having a kids table and a child sized desk. Seriously considering rearranging my kitchen so my baking supplies and common cooking spices are in easy reach, as opposed to the short cabinet over our oven and shoved into the back of our pantry cupboard (super deep shelves in there).
You aren't alone hun. I'm stilĺ at the process of fixing our kitchen cupboards. I guess this quarantine helped us to like manage and do what needs to be done.
They also have some wire shelving at the dollar tree. A tip for the label maker. I now take the batteries out and put them in an empty pill bottle between uses so the batteries don't die. Miles is so cute btw.
Love your videos! I was going back and rewatching some of your previous ones (trying to get inspired /find good ideas and tips) and I got SO EXCITED when I saw a new upload!! Your ideas are so creative. I really like the mud room solution. You give the best organization advice! :)
My cabinets are original to our house and it was built in the 30s as well. They are like yours: weird heights and shapes and just gross. You gave me so many great ideas! Especially the under cabinet baskets and spice baskets! Great video!
Nope not just you... my kitchen is a dumping ground, too!! Love the idea for you handsome sons thing. Very clever & I know he’s proud of himself when it’s time to go outside and he gotta es right to HIS specially made space! I am a new subscriber and looking forward to see what else can inspire me!! 💞
I saw a kitchen Aid Mixer. For me- taking it out and storing it on the counter has meant it gets used so much more than it did before. I now use it all the time. Just an idea! PS - Adorable little boy

Yes! Changing the shelf heights in pre-existing cabinets has made a HUGE difference for me.
LOVE how Miles’s little closet turned out!!! Such a good idea 😍
Wow! Thank you for this video! It was so practical and real. It motivates me to tackle some disaster areas in my kitchen. I hostess events at least 3 times a month and I need more functionality/organization/labels for when my guests want to help me in the kitchen.
Thanks so much, I live in a old farm house n you really have to think out of the box to make organizing work

So nice of you to show us what we ALL go thru. Just makes us know how real you are!!! Thanks.
I just moved into a new house. I look forward to organizing all the spaces using your videos!
As someone who can be organizationally challenged, thank you for all your tips and tricks! These videos are super helpful!
I really love you! You are so real for us real people who has to do things for your self!

You're not alone! Our laundry room is our dumping ground! My favorite too in this video was the "mud room" idea for your son! Good one!
Labels on the top. Who’ud of thunk it! That’s going to come in handy for aerosol cans and stuff in the rv too. Thanx.
hiknfo great idea
I use the clear shelf liners that come in rolls and line everything, including the bins and door shelves. If you use the clear liner, then the light shines through to the orher shelves,
You are so not alone. I am a whole lot older than you and I have always had this problem. Since watching DIY'S I am a lot more organized. Thank you for your help too.
Again so sweet great job mom.God bless you and your family.
This inspired me to declutter my cabinets as well. Im just going to do two cabinets though. Can't let the family think I'm doing something drastic that may ruin their lives and what not
I’m amused that a step stool was such a novel idea for you! I’m 5’1” & have folding step stools all over my house! I even keep a retractable back scratcher in my purse to reach things that are high up when I’m shopping! 😂😂😂
I love how you have your son putting his stuff up too. So cute. I think organizing the fridge might even make it easier to grocery shop. Great ideas- thank you!
Major "Clean My Space" vibes haha.. I like it 😁👍
Really liked the way that cupboard was repurposed at the end of the video
I love the mini mud room for Miles! He’s so cute! 💙
Super well done video. Your finished parts look great and your planning is very methodical and logical. Great job.
In my kitchen I attach each lid to each container. It’s very helpful. It looks like we both have an Nespresso machine too ( I recognize those coffee pods ).
When I move into a new house I step back and decide where I want my "coffee bar", my baking station, and my dinnerware. You crack me up using the term Tupperware, when it is actually just plastic. Lol
Better - it’s “TupperwareS”! That kills me every time! 💙
I would put a shelf up above the fridge. That way be easier to keep organized and plus maximizes verticle space
Love the mud room idea! You should definitely put some cute knobs on the doors 🤩
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ from Arizona! I’m a relatively new subscriber and I’m binge watching! Great idea giving your little guy his own cupboard! 👩🏻🍳🤗
I get you I am sometimes so tried that I leave stuff around lol.
The labels are great. The contact paper in the fridge is an awesome idea. I use Dollar Tree chopping mats for the same reason. They stay put and if they get messy, they’re easy to wash.
Miles is adorable!! 😀
Isn't it amazing what just painting the insides of the cupboard will do? Night and day difference. Looks great!
I have the same problem with vertical storage so I learned something thank you
Whenever you move around, all I see is Support MS! I flippin love how awesome that is with what you’re doing!
Ok, the mini mud room is GENIUS! ❤️
You can also get some plastic place mats from the dollar store and just trim them to fit the shelf!
I was always told to put most used items in front or within arms reach and less used items in back or up out of the way, works for me.
Above the fridge is ABSOLUTELY "wasted space". (Guess I could say used to be) Thanks for the container ideas! 👍 I'm getting my measuring tape & going to put some "occasionally use" items up there! 😁
Kallie you are so smart 🥺😭❤️
God bless you ❤️❤️
Love, LOVE the mini mudroom idea!! Will have to setup something similar for my toddler 😉
What's a little clutter between friends? No judgment. I tried lining the fridge shelves, but it blocked so much light. In a small room vertical is the only way to go. I was happy to see you realized a foot stool was the answer to that problem. Good tips! TFS!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I love the way you think!
I recently moved into a similar house built in 1910 and have the same challenges - TALL vertical space. Thanks for the ideas! :)
Great use of space. My kitchen is probably the only room that does stay organized. My spare bedroom is out of control
Love your mini mud room!! Very creative.
It's nice to see a real home & real people .. Most videos are big ass mansions that are brand new & if someone has issues organizing some of these beautiful big places too bad it should be much easier lol 😉 .. I live in a studio with old tall cabinets ..I feel you ! I need a 3 step stool lol 😂 I only have like 4 cabinets lol 😂👍🏻 Thank you 🙏🏼
love the "mud room" idea for your son! gonna use it as inspiration and get creative on my end. =)
I really like you little black cupboard , so so cute
This video couldn’t be more timely! I was at Dollar Tree yesterday to buy storage bins and thought about your Dollar Tree videos, which are really helpful! I’m going to begin reorganizing my hot mess of a kitchen pantry, which is the purpose for my Dollar Tree storage bins. lol But you’re giving me more ideas to other organizing needs we have around the house. Thank you for all your super helpful (and funny) videos! 😊
The labels on the top of the spices = genius
I just love your personality…you are just awesome…😊
You did a good job! As always thank you for sharing! Stay safe, healthy and positive! GOD bless you and your family! 🙏❤😊
Love your videos! Just an idea, I use the chopping mats in the refrigerator (instead of contact paper), they fit just right and when they're dirty I can just wash them and then replace. Thanks for all your ideas!
I can relate to the high places. I need a taller stool and my kitchen is small as well. You did very good!
Love those striped baskets! Followed your link and bought them!
Those wire shelves you put in the cupboard are awesome! I got two for my first apartment because I had WAY more dishes and mugs and cups than a single person needed (people gave me so much stuff!). I also love the idea of the hanging basket, I might have to incorporate that into our new place we move to next week. It’s a very small galley kitchen, so we have to be smart with how we organize.

I have those clear refrigerator bins and turntables and they work really, really well but I’ve noticed that I go looking through them to find things instead of actually labeling them with what is inside each one. I think I’m going to go back and re-look at that and see if there is a better way to organize that so I’m not digging through it. I can’t thank you enough for this and I know it’s hard to let everybody see all your stuff but you have no idea what it does for the rest of us because, believe it or not, we all have stuff that looks just like that! Thank you so much for sharing and have a wonderful Memorial Day!
I use the dollar tree clear cutting mats to line my fridge shelves or you can cut their place mats and not have to deal with the adhesive issue. Also the clear mats don't block the light.
I love my label maker! It is the best organizational tool EVER! I even labeled my light switches that have multiple toggles per switch per room. Guests love the light switches labeled!
The best mud room.. Too cute
Love this! We also have a lot of vertical kitchen space, so wire shelves have been a life saver. Got a cute wooden step stool in my favorite color (teal). It's been taken over by my toddler as a desk, despite her having a kids table and a child sized desk. Seriously considering rearranging my kitchen so my baking supplies and common cooking spices are in easy reach, as opposed to the short cabinet over our oven and shoved into the back of our pantry cupboard (super deep shelves in there).
Your son is adorable! Nice video! Massive like. 👍
You aren't alone hun. I'm stilĺ at the process of fixing our kitchen cupboards. I guess this quarantine helped us to like manage and do what needs to be done.
They also have some wire shelving at the dollar tree. A tip for the label maker. I now take the batteries out and put them in an empty pill bottle between uses so the batteries don't die. Miles is so cute btw.
Love your videos! I was going back and rewatching some of your previous ones (trying to get inspired /find good ideas and tips) and I got SO EXCITED when I saw a new upload!! Your ideas are so creative. I really like the mud room solution. You give the best organization advice! :)
I use a turntable to put my spices on, in alphabetical order. That way I can use a higher shelf and still get to it easily.
My cabinets are original to our house and it was built in the 30s as well. They are like yours: weird heights and shapes and just gross. You gave me so many great ideas! Especially the under cabinet baskets and spice baskets! Great video!
Good job, can you come organize my house please. I'm in Florida, no jackets required LOL
Nope not just you... my kitchen is a dumping ground, too!! Love the idea for you handsome sons thing. Very clever & I know he’s proud of himself when it’s time to go outside and he gotta es right to HIS specially made space! I am a new subscriber and looking forward to see what else can inspire me!! 💞
I saw a kitchen Aid Mixer. For me- taking it out and storing it on the counter has meant it gets used so much more than it did before. I now use it all the time. Just an idea!
PS - Adorable little boy
Kallie, you look beautiful. Motherhood agrees with you. Miles is adorable!
I have watched so many organizational videos i love them and this is the 1st video where someone labels their fridge I like the idea
