For many families, this room is the heart of their home. In the kitchen is where we come to get our daily nutrition. Because of its importance, why not make sure that it is being operated at its maxed efficiency? Try these tools around your kitchen to help everyone who enters it:

• Index Cards – Grocery Lists
• Index Cards – Recipes (store in a box or on a binder ring)
• Paperclips – Sealing Bags (cereal, snacks)
• Mason Jars – Storing Dry Goods (beans, pasta, rice)
• Mason Jars – Storing Small Items (toothpicks, paperclips, sugar, etc.)

• Desk Caddy – Sorting Small Items (sauce packages, individually wrapped snacks, cooking utensils, etc.)
• Can Rack – Sorting Cans + Bottles (canned goods and small baby bottles)
• Tape – Labels
