Ziploc Freak

I'm an organization freak. I get off on it and when my stuff gets disorganized, I get overwhelmed and even depressed. If I could file my vegetables and fruits, I'm sure I would. (Un)fortunately, my kitchen is too small and my fridge too inaccessible for such inane an activity.

My daughter's snack bag, however...ahhhh totally accessible and totally organizeable. I Ziploc everything in that little pink bag - it's my way of "filing" the food in there.

Using Ziplocs of different sizes of course:

  1. snack size Ziploc - love these cute little baggies! Perfect for a tiny serving of fruit, or cereal. Or a spoon if I decide to be so mundane as to actually separate the yogurt sppoon from the yogurt, which will go in the...
  2. sandwich size Ziploc - fits a single-serving of yogurt, or the tiny Glad container of yogurt if I'm feeling zealous and thrifty enough to buy big tubs of yogurt and scooping it out into the tiny Glad plasticware. Also fits a sandwich (doh!), a couple of mini bagels, or a tiny banana. Love putting yogurt in a baggie because if there isn't a trash can nearby, then the whole yogurty-mess goes back i the baggie. Paper napkin is also always packed in here.
  3. Mini-freezer Ziploc bag - drinks go in here, or a big banana, or a container of cut-up fruit with a plastic fork or a plastic toothpick. And snack bars.
  4. Daddy freezer Ziploc bag - my absolute favourite thing in the scheme of organization! Love it almost as much as my file folders. Big drink cups and all the other Ziploc baggies all go in here...then in my purse if I'm not planning on carrying her snack bag. Extra change of clothes also fit in this amazingly versatile baggie. And bath products of all sorts. And bigger servings of food... I could go on.Pathetic, aren't I?If only the rest of my life and home were as easy to organize and keep in order.
