Oh me, oh my! It's time for another Lazy Mom Tip!
I've been doing this tip for years, literally YEARS, lazy moms. And now you can do it too. And then we can do it together.
Because isn't that what I'm a Lazy Mom is all about... bringing moms together?
So. Here's the tip....
You know how you have that cabinet in your kitchen stuffed to the brim full of plastic containers to put your food away in?
And you know how you have random lids littered around in there and you can never find the one you need for the container your using?
Well not anymore! (Do I sound like an infomercial yet?)
Run out and get you gals one of these.
Well maybe not this same exact one, but get yourself a bin that will fit on your cabinet shelf.
Then do this.
Throw all your lids into the bin and keep it stored on your shelf by the plastic containers. The next time you need a lid, viola'! They are all corralled into one spot and you can just pull the whole bin down, find what you need and put the bin away.
Go ahead. Thank me. You know you want to.
I also accept gifts of gratitude.
Namely cash and chocolate.
Feel free to ship them directly to me and feel free to do it immediately and feel free to do it often.
Stacey,
ReplyDeleteMy born-organized friend introduced me to these types of bins in the FIRST place so you already had me at "white bin"! Put stuff in a white bin so you can remove the WHOLE bin and SEE what's inside!! The GREATEST thing since sliced bread!!!
NOW, using them to put Tupperware lids in one place? I can't stand it! I'm so excited!!!

I do this for the small lids.
ReplyDeleteFor the bigger ones, I have a pot lid organizer from Target (it's basically a coated wire frame) and pop them in there.
Thank you! I like the tip...think I will use it! Sorry, though, I have no chocolates or money to send. You'll forgive me, I'm sure. ; )
ReplyDeleteI think you looked in my cabinet to get this idea! This is what I have done the last five years, and it's a terrific way to keep your lids organized.
ReplyDeleteI love those white bins!! I like the bigger sizes to use as laundry baskets. I label them with each family member's name and put their clean clothes in it as I fold them. Then they put their clothes away themselves. And if they choose to ignore outting them away they at least know exactly where to find their clean clothes. Feel free to use this as a lazy mom tip if you haven't already :)
