Full disclosure: I have kidults, and while they're great at making their own food and drinks – and clearing up after themselves (the dream rather than the reality) – they will, quite literally, shove whatever they've used back into the refrigerator and food cabinets when they're done. Added to that, the most constant refrain I ever seemed to hear (until recently) was, 'Mom, where are all the good snacks?’'. So, I started hunting down a solution to fix both problems.
It didn't take long to spot the clever Simple Houseware pullout-organizers on Amazon. The two-tier organizers are designed for bathrooms but slide neatly into tall gaps in refrigerators and larders, or onto deep pantry shelves – and they helped me perfect and upgrade those kitchen organization ideas I didn’t get quite right the first time around.
