The kitchen is a hub for family gatherings, but let’s face it—it’s your domain, Mom. Even as your kids and partners seem to commandeer the space (seriously, can we get some fresh air out there?), you’re the one who knows where everything is—especially the good snacks and those must-have kitchen tools that don’t clutter the counter.
Your pantry organization skills are top-notch (thank you, drawer dividers!), you’ve got all the Amazon bestsellers, and we all know you’re the only one who can operate the slow cooker.
Still, it’s time to step up the organization game and be more eco-conscious. Think of all the leftovers you constantly wrap and unwrap. All that foil and plastic wrap? That’s money wasted and added waste for the environment. By investing in a few reusable food storage items, you can be a kitchen superstar while also being kind to Mother Earth. If you haven’t added a new set of Pyrex (yes, they still make it, and no, it doesn’t look like Grandma’s) or explored options like Food Huggers or Zip Top, it’s time to hit “add to cart.”
