Simple Living: Organizing Tupperware

So what does a career woman do when she turns into a stay at home wife?  For this wife she organizes.  A couple of days ago I went into my Tupperware cabinets only to have about 5 sets of Tupperware fall.  I know it's happened to most of us.  I couldn't sleep that night just thinking about how I was going to organize that mess specifically the lids.  Due to me being frugal, I looked everywhere for a shoe box and of course the one time I needed one I couldn't find one anywhere.  I did what I always do when I need help I called my Grams.  She, of course had a couple of ideas.

My advice to you is to go through all of your Tupperware and sort out anything that does not have a lid and/or is stained/damaged in anyway.  Throw those items away, I'm sure you have plenty more.

Next, I ended up using a Michigan Blueberry box from this past summer.  I found some cute wrapping paper and made the box cute.  
Can't wait for Michigan Blueberries!
After wrapping up the box I sorted through the lids and put them in order based on size.  I was quite excited to be able to get them all into one box.  It must have been the sorting.

Into the cabinets they went.  Now we just have to hope my husband keeps it this organized.
Finished.  I know it seems so simple but it made my day!
I loved organizing these cabinets, I've been putting it off for way too long.
