Getting the Kitchen Organized with Core Home {& A Giveaway!}

A big thank you to my friends at Core Home for providing me with my new favorite kitchen organization finds to share with you all today...

I think by now you all know that I happen to be a pretty loyal fan of Core Home. Their knives are my go-to every time I am cooking. Their bamboo cutting boards and pastry boards are not only beautiful, but also stand up to all the chopping and dough rolling that I dish out.  And just about everything that they make is bright and colorful! I love the pop of color that Core products give my kitchen. :)

Recently I was contacted by Core to give some of their kitchen organization products a go, and I was totally game.  With the 2nd Annual Spring De-Junk Challenge starting next week & spring cleaning on my mind, I knew my kitchen needed a little sprucing up and reorganizing.  

The ceramic utensil holder that I received from Core Home the first time that I had worked with them had been becoming increasingly overcrowded with wooden spoons, spatulas, whisks, knives, and everything else in between...

Spring De-Junk Challenge- The Halfway Mark! {& a $110 Lowe's Giveaway}

Today is Day #5 of the 10 day Spring De-Junk Challenge- halfway there! Whew!

And I have been a busy, busy mama and blogger this week with this challenge, but all the effort (and sweat!) has been well worth it so far. :)

If you have been following me on Instagram, you have probably been noticing all the before and after photos I have been posting as I work through this daily spring cleaning challenge.

I have to admit that putting all my clutter and mess (and maybe some slight hoarding- mostly on my husband's part ;) ) out there for all of the Instagram world to see hasn't been the easiest thing to do.

I mean, some of it is just embarrassing.  But it really has been just the motivation I needed (& we needed) to finally take care of some of the cluttered and messy areas of our home.  There is just something about posting a photo of one of your colossal messes on social media and pledging to tackle it that just makes you now feel even more accountable and in turn, motivated.
