You May Not Have Thought Of…Silver Sharpie Labeling
What: Writing a letter. Why: Getting the mail is something that I always look forward to – there is something about getting a letter in the mail that makes me pick up my pace on my walk back to the house. I know we are talking about how to live with less and you are…
We all have aspirations to make changes in our life. Especially in this new year! Some big. Some small. Now that we are at the start of a new year, you can’t ignore the bandwagon of resolution-planners. Planning change, desiring a new routine, wanting to tweak SOMETHING. I decided to start a new challenge; THOUGH, this challenge…
This year in Roots (high school youth group) we are looking at the various forms of media and how they line up with a Biblical worldview. What is a worldview you might ask? A worldview can be defined as how you see the world, through a “certain” lense. That “certain” lense, for the Christian, would…
This may go against every grain in my Dutch culture, but I actually enjoy change. I often wondered how having a child would change our life. The change has been absolutely beautiful, even though the change hasn’t always been easy. But one thing that I have realized that has not changed, is how we LIVE…
As women, many of us have this nagging and constant tapping on the shoulder, telling us we need to do more. And more. Telling us we need to go to this. Telling us we need to make that. Telling us we need to look like this. Telling us we need to commit to that. Telling…
What do you use salt for most? I will safely assume that it is probably for food purposes – specifically as a “seasoner.” Ever wonder what else salt is good for? I am sure you have seen different kinds of salt at your local grocery store and wonder why there are even so many different types…

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 🙂
