Does your pantry need to be picture perfect?

Do your pantries, cabinets and closets really need to be photo shoot ready?

If you’re drowning in housework, do you have the time to put all of your groceries into nice containers? Personally, I think that is the biggest waste of time and money.

Its behind closed doors. Its not like its part of your decor.

Its a ridiculous trend started on social media. For what reason? To make you feel bad? To earn money selling all of the pretty organizing supplies?

Your cabinets need to be efficient. Neat is part of that so you can easily find things.

I often share pictures of my cabinets. They are organized, but not pristine. If you can get your hands on what you need quickly, that’s what is important.

I often share solutions to make your life more efficient because that is my goal here. My goal is never to suggest some unrealistic standards. We don’t have time for that.

Don’t fall for ridiculous social media trends.

Did you know that Marie Kondo admits that since she had her last child, she can’t keep up with her unrealistic ideals.

Yes, I am a clean freak, but neat and efficient behind closed doors is good enough. Quit beating yourself up over ridiculous things.

Better yet – ignore social media homemaking advice.

One thought on “Does your pantry need to be picture perfect?

  1. Carole, I couldn’t agree more! I store everything away in my kitchen cabinets. As long as the food is kept fresh is in a sealed container that can be easily reached, that’s all I need. I believe that social media can set unrealistic ideals, that are only too often impractical for daily living. It should be all about making life simpler.
