6 Tips to Refresh Your Kitchen and Pantry For Spring

With the hint of spring  in the air, it's a great time to refresh your home and welcome in the new season. One of the best ways to do that is to refresh your kitchen and pantry. This is especially true if you've been squirreling away snacks and comfort food all winter long. Regardless, Spring is a great time to get back on track with your healthy eating goals and make sure you are all stocked up and organized to eat healthy. 

While the project of refreshing your full kitchen can feel overwhelming, I have 6 tips to turn this project into a feeling of accomplishment once you are done. 

From expired condiments in the fridge, to the half eaten bag of chips in the pantry, to the 5 travel mugs taking up space in your cupboard- we are going to refresh your kitchen and it will be looking great in no time! 

Set aside an afternoon this weekend or you can break this task up over a week or two to make it less overwhelming. For example, on Monday, you can wipe down all of your cabinets. On Tuesday, tackle the refrigerator shelves. Create a schedule that's doable for you so you won't procrastinate.
