I suggest cute black out curtains on the window and then daylight type bulbs in the fixture. That way it’s bright and pretty when you’re in there and when you’re not, your food is protected! 💚it’s a lovely pantry

Organizing and decluttering always has the “domino” effect.

Great job! I have a suggestion for how to keep the upstairs pantry stocked. If you mount a small notepad and pen (hang with string from a wire shelf?), then when you use up an item you can add it to the list. Then once a week or so you can tear off the page to take to the basement for restocking. 😊

I like seeing that you are a normal person who has messes too. Sometimes we feel bad about our messes when others stuff is all pretty. I have half the room and twice the stuff so I'm always a mess! We have been in our house 33 years. You can imagine what I NEED to do! Slowly but surely getting there. Been out playing the dirt so I'm a happy camper. I haven't bought flats of flowers for the house in years. So I went crazy this year! Front is almost done. Need to prune hydrangeas then it is done! Go me, thanks gf!

Good morning kiddo. I have been enjoying watching your videos since the very beginning and as a retired chef that has managed kitchens throughout a very busy career, I would love to share something with you that was passed down to me. Please keep in mind that this is coming from a place of caring, not criticism; I had this sign put up in all of my kitchens and it read “slow down, you’ll go faster”. I find that if you just take that extra moment to slow down you are less likely to spill the flour or drop the …….all of these small moments save many minutes in cleanup. ❤😉 Much love! X❤X

I do not know if anyone has commented this already but I will offer this just in case .... onions off gas ethylene and ethylene will hasten the ripening of potatoes. So it is best if you store them separately to retard growth and sprouting of your potatoes. Also consider keeping your potatoes in the dark of a paper or linen bag.

Becky, please know that all of us feel just like you do. Our house is never organized at once. We all just do the best we can at that moment. You're in a new season of your life, with that new baby. You'll have time later for housework. Just enjoy that sweet thing now. Pretty soon, he'll be digging up your plants! LOL! Love from SC!

Paper towel holders make great holders for canning rings😊

What a great organization job! One cautionary tale: about 5 years ago half my pantry literally fell off the wall due to the weight of my home canned foods. It was devistating to lose things I had worked so hard to make. When you were putting things on the top wire type rack in your pantry, I was thinking that might not be strong enough for what you have up there. Obviously it’s hard to tell from a video how strong that is, but I just wanted to throw it out there for you to ponder.

I used to clean houses, the first week of every month was set up to deep clean one area of the house. If you want the pantry/closets every 6 months set a notification (June/December) electronic reminders takes a lot of the pressure off.

That’s part of having a wee one Becky 🥰. My children have grown and my pantry stays pretty organized now- I always am able to put things back where they go after I’m done with baking or meal prep. My niece is here today and watching this she said Auntie, she must watch Three rivers homestead cause she’s starting to sound just like her … I was like ?? Two totally different lifestyles but she said she never misses three rivers homestead - and loves how Jessica always says on this day instead of today tomorrow or yesterday— she’s was allowed to subscribe to 3- it’s that, Roots and Refuge and you - she’s 12 and every one she chose was for gardening and cooking. She actually got her own little patch to plant in my back garden … I think that’s awesome for a 12 year old ♥️🥰 and I enjoy her company so much. She prefers the farm lifestyle but she said you explain things so clearly it’s easy to follow ♥️♥️

Don't worry about having some areas that are messy in your house. You are doing great! Honestly, I still have a room full of boxes from moving in here about 4 years ago (we are still fixing up our house). Every time I go in there, things fall over or get disorganized. I also have a bunch of stuff in the living room waiting to go up to the attic. My kitchen needs organizing too. I found that I can only focus on one project at a time because looking at the whole picture is too frustrating and then nothing gets done.

I was always taught to store my glassware, especially wine glasses upside down. It also keeps dust and such out of the portion you drink out of

[janh]

There’s NO doubt about it, you got the perfect house for you, Josh, and Baby! ! You have space for all your canned foods in your basement, plus your grains! Then you have that lovely huge food closet space for keeping lots of your canned things that you plan on putting into meals coming up very soon! That’s great! I loved seeing you rearrange, reset, and now you are ready for your next meal!

[jackiedamico]

Hey Becky, the dollar store has storage scoops (unfortunately plastic) but they work GREAT to put into each of your 5 gallon buckets. I use mine for rice, popcorn, flour, grains etc. There is one scoop in each bucket so I never need to worry about messes or pouring.

[terrymcgreevy]

Your videos inspire me to get off my butt and finish the projects they need to be done!!! Thanks

[grammyb]

I’m looking for inspiration. I have THE BIGGEST project to conquer and oh boy I’m overwhelmed. Thank you Becky for all the positive and encouraging messages and videos. I’m trying to gear up…

[Odontecete]

Nobody lives in a "Magazine shoot ready" house....ever, even the people that do have magazines come and take pictures of their house--they get cleaning crews and staging crews to set it up. So don't worry about that stuff, your house is immaculate! Sometimes when a project has been on our minds because it is very important it takes a mental toll that we weren't expecting. That's normal ya know? Don't sweat it. It's done now and you love it (which is all that matters). Black out drapes is a great suggestion to keep the sun off the jars you so carefully invested so much time in preserving. As for feeding baby acre the food you eat--the child is going to eat what you eat no matter what in the end and you make some dang good food! If anything he's going to be spoiled by all the deliciousness--not a bad thing. Ignore the haters in the comments, you do what you want, he's your son.

[marlynejoiner]

I totally understand when you say it would be nice to have to whole house cleaned and organized at the same time. I think it is impossible because we are busy moms. One suggestion would be to store your clean canning jars upside down, I find it keeps them much cleaner

[paigepierce]

Kinda seems like the comments are complainy today. I love the pantry videos and I dont see anything wrong with the lighting. Becky you are so inspiring. Thank you for all you do!
