As the summer starts to come to an end (I’m sorry, but it’s true) I’m trying to mentally prepare for getting back into the swing of things. Back to the grind. As such, every week this month, I’m sharing tips and tricks to make mom-ing, feeding, and working a little bit easier for you.

Do what you need to do to enjoy the rest of your summer—bookmark this for later, or start chipping away at it now. I personally am very excited for my family’s beach vacation and am most excited for my daughter to come home from sleepaway camp to spend time with her.

To start, this week we’re cleaning out the kitchen. We’re throwing out expired cans, flavorless spices, and old baking powder, and getting rid of long-forgotten leftovers in the freezer. We’re starting fresh.

Here’s what’s on the menu for this week:

  • Cleaning Out the Kitchen 101

  • Clean-Out-The-Fridge-or-Freezer-or-Pantry Soup

  • Clean-Out-The-Fridge Salad

  • Clean-Out-The-Kitchen Tacos

  • My Favorite Kitchen Organizers
