It had become apparent over the last few weeks that our spice cabinet was overflowing with goods.\u00a0 We try to keep a stocked spice cabinet (buy ones we use when they go on sale) and haven’t had any problems until recently.\u00a0 When my husband went to get the garlic salt out of the cabinet and a whole mess of stuff came tumbling down I decided it was time for organizing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our regular spices have always been in alphabetical order on the first shelf.\u00a0 (It really does help when you are trying to find a spice for a special recipe, my husband loves it that way too).\u00a0\u00a0 That shelf was in pretty good shape.\u00a0 The second shelf holds baking items, sprinkles and bigger containers. This shelf was a little crazy and appeared to where most of the items were falling from lately.\u00a0 The third or top shelf was where we stored the spices we buy in bulk or extra spices when they go on sale.\u00a0 I pulled everything out and found what was causing all the commotion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The problem<\/strong> was that since having kids we have purchased more “sprinkles”!\u00a0 When I pulled all the sprinkles out of the cupboard it was amazing how much extra room we had for everything else.\u00a0 We had Princess Sprinkles, Cars Sprinkles, some for Halloween, Fall, Colored Sprinkles, Holiday Sprinkles, Balls, Shapes, and more sprinkles.\u00a0 We had different 19 containers of just SPRINKLES (and none of them the same so we couldn’t just consolidate)!\u00a0 The girls love to help me cook and a lot of their cookies or goodies they make have sprinkles on top so while they are necessary it had gotten out of control.<\/p>\n

The Solution<\/strong> was to go through the sprinkles, find out which ones were almost gone and put them in smaller container or set them aside to use soon.\u00a0 After re-organizing the sprinkles I even had a little empty shelf space left in the cupboard.<\/p>\n
