How much Old Bay does one couple need?

   For some reason since the beginning of the year, I have been on an organizational kick.  I just can't seem to get the house organized enough.  I've already organized three drawers, my closet (color coordinated), & our laundry room/pantry.
   It finally occurred to me today to take some before and after photos of this organizing.

  Today after going to the dr this morning, a quick trip to wal-mart, which you know I can spend hours in as I've mentioned before, (click here to read about my previous Wal-mart adventures), made diaper cakes for a baby shower I'm planning, did some marketing for Bellezza, talked to everyone and their mama on the phone, ate dinner and then decided to organize our spice cabinet.

   While organizing I realized three things:

1.  There are literally no expiration dates on spices.  Seriously?  I think I may have had some of these when I lived in Boone with Kristel.  No really.  haha And that was 7-8 years ago. Oh Gosh!

2. Adam has 23 bottles of hot sauce - this is after I threw out three that had expired.  Apparently HOT spices do expire.  Who knew?

3.  We have 6 canisters of Old Bay Seasoning.  I put it on everything, but I didn't realize we had so many!

 So here is my before:

And this is my after:

Finally! Wow, we should really have stock in McCormick Spices.

Wondering what is in the black basket at the top upper right corner?  Hot Sauces!

And to the left?

Even more hot sauces!


And for those Old Bay Spices?

 I ended up throwing away two Old Bay Seasonings and this is what we had left.  Does someone want to bring over some crab legs, shrimp, fish or stuff to make a Lowcountry boil? :)

I think I deserve one of my Valentine's Day Cupcakes I made myself 3 weeks early. :) Yum!

Have a good night y'all! :)
