You May Not Have Thought Of…Silver Sharpie Labeling
Maybe it’s because I’m just getting older, but I feel like more and more people feel alone. I think one of the big reasons is that we are constantly scrolling through other’s lives, and not taking the time to INVEST in relationships. We see what we aren’t, what we wish we were, and leave depleted,…
I (heart) Christmas. You can say “ugh,” but I am one of those who plays Christmas music in October (I’ve been known to throw in a cd in July). Many may get frustrated with me because it may come across as me not respecting Thanksgiving or me even disliking that holiday, by overlooking it. I…
Have you ever thanked God for THIS year? I mean, truly. Are you thankful for all that God has done in 2020? I know you’re probably thinking, how in the world can we be thankful for the coronavirus? How can we be thankful for the division that is happening in our country? How in the…
One thing I look so forward to in the summer are fresh vegetables! There is something about being able to walk out to the garden and grab a handful of fresh green beans or peas and munch on them for a snack. Not to mention, when picking them for canning or freezing, too many probably…
What: Repurposing plastic bags Why: Reusable grocery bags are the way to go – you can fit so much more inside of them and they are much easier to carry. On the other hand, plastic grocery or store bags can also come in handy. At times it may be wise to actually put your groceries…
Do you have the desire to have all of your family favorite recipes in one cookbook? Do you find yourself calling your mom often for a recipe? Do you wish to pass on recipes from your childhood to your kiddos one day? About 10 years ago, I wanted to make a family cookbook. I had…

That is awesome that you even labeled a chair – well, now you know where it is and no one can discreetly steal it! Love it and thanks for sharing!
This is genius. Thanks for the great tip! I took the advice and just silver sharpied my spices. Woot! Oh my goodness, this will save time and make it easy for everyone to see what they want. Great tip!!
Thank you! I am glad that you have been able to put this to use – it has made a HUGE difference in our home and it sounds like yours too 🙂
I really want to share how I do my spices, but it's sort of hard to explain. I'll give it a shot, and if you like the idea, I'll forward pix.
We took some trim 1/2"x2" and cut it to just under the width of a cabinet door. My sweetheart mounted them on the door with 1/2"x1/2" brackets. About an inch above the ends of each mounted piece of trim, he put a 2" metal bracket. Then we strung strong wire through the holes on the brackets, making a line between the two brackets just under an inch from the top of each piece of wood. That made a little retainer to hold the little plastic containers of spices–in alphabetical order. Make sense? I keep any extra amounts of each spice in the back of a bottom drawer, where nothing else ever goes. Works for us!
Hi Mary :). I would LOVE to see pictures of this! Even detailed pics of the basics to the finished product? I see a guest post coming soon ;)???? This sounds like a GREAT idea and a DIY project, which makes this even better! Let me know your thoughts 🙂
My Awesome Wonderful and I are traveling, and I'm just catching up with my posts. When we get back home, I'll do this very thing. Many who have seen this project have replicated it. So, yes, I'd love to help your other friends.
Awesome! Thank you Mary 🙂
