LIVE WORKSHOPS! Join us for our Clutter Clinic Workshops, where we’ll tackle the mess and create simple systems that actually work for your life! Whether it’s your closet, kitchen, garage, digital files, or even that endless pile of paper, we’ve got you covered with practical, doable strategies that make organizing easy—and even a little fun!

Thanks to our amazing sponsor, Kate Hufnagel, aka the Digital Wrangler, we’re starting the year with a focus on decluttering not just our homes, but our digital lives, too. You can check out her offerings here.

It’s officially spring cleaning season, and what better way to kick things off than by tackling one of my absolute favorite spaces—the pantry! In this St. Patrick’s Day edition of This Organized Life’s Tip of the Week, I’m sharing all my best tips for decluttering and organizing your pantry like a pro.

We’re talking about the right way to pull everything out (yes, everything!), how to sort through the chaos, and what to do with those mystery cans from who-knows-when. Plus, I’m giving you my go-to strategies for donating unused but still-good items, finding the perfect storage solutions, and making sure your pantry stays organized long after you finish.

And don’t forget—my Clutter Clinic Workshop is coming up in April, where we’ll dive into closet organization (because, let’s be real, your closet deserves a spring refresh too!).So grab a cup of coffee (or maybe a shamrock shake? 🍀) and let’s get your pantry in tip-top shape!

Why You Should Listen

✔️ You’re tired of playing pantry Jenga every time you need a snack.
✔️ You want a system that actually lasts—not just a quick tidy-up.
✔️ You’re ready to reclaim your space and make meal prep so much easier.

Key Takeaways

✨ Take it all out – Yes, even the stuff in the back.
✨ Sort by category – Snacks, canned goods, baking supplies… you get the idea.
✨ Check expiration dates – No judgment, we all have that one ancient spice jar.
✨ Donate what you won’t use – Give those extras to a food bank!
✨ Use bins & baskets – Because an organized pantry = a happy you.
✨ Label everything – Especially if you have family members who “can’t find anything.”
