I don’t know what it is, but I often have quite a few empty spice jars in the cupboard. (Actually, it’s called laziness 
) It’s mostly a simple task refilling the spice jars, but it’s one of my most dreaded things to do. It ranks up there with putting the clean laundry and dishes away.
As I like to do with these Simply Clutter Free posts, I like to provide as much useful information as I can. (Also keep in mind that these activities are just suggestions, but the intent is to help you rid your home of a lot of clutter by the end of January.) Since today’s activity in my home is refilling the spices I’ve got some links to spice organization ideas and tips regarding the shelf life of spices!
I want to know, how old is your oldest spice that you found lurking in the back?

Well, I actually think I’ll be working on this task in little chunks all week long. It’s going to take me a while! I have actually started to overhaul our current system so it’s less messy and easier to deal with. We currently have two plastic file totes like this and I want to combine our household papers into one. I want the other one for Simply Frugal bills, contracts and the like.
Here are a few filing systems that I thought I’d take a look at:

In our newish home, I now have a desk, but the girls are the ones who use it right now for making crafts and colouring. My husband also has a desk that tends to get cluttered up with toys because it’s in our basement where most of the toys are. So today, I’ll tidy them up and make sure all the random items are in their proper place.
Also, one of my big projects that I’d like to get done one day is to complete five years worth of photo books. I’m seriously the worst at getting pictures developed and books made. But I’ve been trying to keep up with keeping photos organized on my computer, but I’m sure my husband’s phone still has some that I need to put on my computer. I’ve been thinking of using Shutterfly or Photobook Canada for the photo “yearbooks”. They seem to always have a deal.
What’s the state of your desk? How do you organize your digital photos? Do you have any great systems in place that help?
