You May Not Have Thought Of…Silver Sharpie Labeling
I decided to piggy-back off of my last post about living in an “instant” world. Personal confession time: I rush through life – it takes a conscious effort for me to slow down and just relax. Ask my husband. I am a do-er. I am a task-oriented person. The more things on my to-do list,…
God always has a way of offering perspective, no matter what life situation you are in. This moment to many may have seemed like any ole conversation and maybe rather minor to some, but it was this conversation that God used to give me perspective and open my eyes and heart to situations I walk…
I had to chuckle. When I jumped on google to see how to “spell” picker upper (for fear there was some weird way of doing so), this definition popped up: “something that restores one’s depleted energy or depressed spirits; pick-me-up” Well that wasn’t necessarily what I was going for. Though I laughed because really, becoming…
Where does my deep desire to be organized come from? My belief. My faith in God. My desire to live a life for Him and not myself. While on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic (a second time), my heart cried tears of disgust and embarrassment at the life I was living. Not that we…
One of the best pieces of advice that I was given when my husband and I got married is to take time away. And in our case, with each other. Taking time away has been one of the best decisions we have made for our life and marriage. When you think about simple living, you…
I often wonder if the little things really do matter. Don’t you? Have you ever taken the time to think about the little things you do as a parent, as a daughter, as a wife, or as a friend? Do you ever wonder if it’s really making a difference? You may never know and maybe…

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 🙂
