My kitchen cupboards are in need of cleaning out! It's so easy to hold onto spices (and other things), and forget how long you have them...espcially if you buy something you don't normally use! I've thrown out many things like this before. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing....I hope you have a wonderful day!Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193049178630106990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701784533639660211.post-66430707163108870742010-04-08T10:11:48.538-07:002010-04-08T10:11:48.538-07:00No need to feel embarrased about the turmeric, Mar...No need to feel embarrased about the turmeric, Marcia...

She struggles as you do in a small home with 8 people in it. I know you will be an inspiration to her as would the book. I need to get inspired too, although I did some cleaning before Easter in the kitchen and pantry. I need to get on to the rest of the house.<br />Gotta go and jump over the the site you recommended.<br />Looks like you have a good start.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676849110885205835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701784533639660211.post-19305224537523239662010-04-08T08:57:10.351-07:002010-04-08T08:57:10.351-07:00I've cleaned out my pantry before only to disc...I've cleaned out my pantry before only to discover boxes of Jello mix that were obviously of a totally different time period, as the design on the box had changed not once but TWICE since I had purchased it!

I'm afraid it wouldn't work around here. By the time I get one thing cleaned, it's time to start all over again within a day or two. I truly do need to get organized though. Some folks have organization down to a true art. I like to consider my clutter "organized chaos." I got rid of old plates and mugs that my husband bought years ago and finally went out and bought what I wanted for dinnerware. A blue set and a taupe set. Much nicer. That's one thing I want to do -- pass on the old stuff I've made due with, and replace with things I really want. Good luck with spring cleaning.
