Plates. Glasses. Bowls. Plastic storage containers. Mugs. Some people have their set amount, that match, and have their perfect place. Some people have accumulated extras just in case. The To-Go Cups. Empty containers from food items.

This weekend I encourage you to organize three kitchen cabinets.

No, not the ones that “are already good enough”, but the three most cluttered kitchen cabinets.

First, remove all items of the three most cluttered kitchen cabinets. After that, I would encourage you to vacuum out the cabinets, and wipe it down with a clean cloth. Then, look at the items, and determine

  • What do I regularly use?
  • Is anything broken?
  • Does the item hold a special meaning to me?
  • Do I really need this item?

Then, neatly place the items you want to keep back in the cabinet, and either throw out broken items, and/or donate unused items.

Repeat this for two more cabinets.

You would be amazed how many items get squirrelled away!

“Reliable and Ready” REALTOR® since 2016. I was born in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, but was raised in Texas since 1997. When I found out we were moving to Plano, Texas, I remember looking forward to riding a horse to school and a brand-new pair of cowboy boots! Growing up in Plano prepared me to be competitive, quick, and to have a strong work ethic. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. Axe’em Jacks! That is where my love for East Texas began. The nature, warm smiles, football games, and community values can't be beat! I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I was a middle school math teacher in Tyler, Texas. I met my husband, Travis, in Sunday school, and we have been married since September 2016. I love being a REALTOR® in East Texas! Relationships are genuine, the area is beautiful, and the market is rockin’! I am an involved REALTOR® to better the community. Some of the organizations I am involved with are: The Professional Development Committee, Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee, and Tyler Educational Networking Group. Some awards I have won were “The Hustle Award” in 2016, and “Rookie of the Year” in 2017. When I am not working with my clients, I like to spend quality time with my friends and family doing the following: running, target practice, read and participate in book club, and playing with my dachshund Greta.
