Today I am searching for organizing websites so I can order some items to help me in the pantry organizing. I  need to be able to put things away easily & not have items stacked haphazardly as they are now. So, I will try IKEA & hopefully find some other sites as well. (Any inexpensive suggestions would be greatly appreciated!) Envisioning a completely organized home is far from my sights right now, but I know it can be done & I know I will find a way to do it!
I am hoping & praying that the people & their precious pets in the path of Hurricane Sandy will keep safe. It looks like it will cause some major problems & destruction. I just found a photo on Facebook of Ocean City NJ flooding & the storm has not even hit yet. God help them.

Let the Journey Begin!

I am ready to begin my new journey of not only blogging, but I am going to attempt to find a way to declutter & organize my home......one space at a time. Maybe I can get help or suggestions on what would work best for each area. I am ready to dive in!
My precious husband & I just returned from a wonderful short vacation in Tampa, so now I can take the time to do this right. Our 4 indoor cats love when I open up new areas when I clean! It's like, "Hey a new space to play or sleep in!".
OK, here is the first space I am trying to organize: The Pantry! It is so cluttered & there is no rhyme or reason for anything. I cannot find a way to keep it clean once it is cleaned, & trust me, I clean this room at least twice a year & it comes right back to this disarray. I did straighten out the food area yesterday and tried to arrange the baking pans (not possible with these shelves). So I am up to my eyeballs in a pantry mess that I must organize! Here is my amateur try at a panorama of my pantry:

Maybe I can find some organizing solutions online, because these wire pantry shelves just aren't cutting it.
