The Mother of all Meme Posts

This is a picture of my kids' kitchen cabinet . After grocery shopping last week, they decided to organize it. At first they argued about what was going to go where. I suggested they take turns or maybe each take a shelf. But the arguing continued, like I wasn't there. Finally, as I made the lasagna and left them to solve the issue on their own, they did.

I wish I had thought to take a photo before, but I didn't have anything to do with this brainstorm. Actually, "before" pictures of anything in my house might be more than my faithful readers can bear, anyway.

I did think to take the after pic because it occurred to me this story would make an excellent Pass the Torch Tuesday post. I caught them being good -- demonstrating responsibility and empowerment, and solving a problem. Then I realized it would be a great Tackle it Tuesday post, even though they tackled it rather than me. And OH! The Photo hunt theme this week is FOOD! Letting my kids work out their problems Works For Me. My Wordless Wednesday posts are never wordless anyway. And can you find THIRTEEN items of food in this pantry??


Just living my life one meme at a time...


UPDATE: If you're participating in any of these memes this week, please leave your permalink in Mr. Linky with an abbreviation (PH, Torch, Tackle, WW, WFMW, TT)

  • do you want to send them over to organize mine? Just kidding - mine is actually pretty bare.

    My PH is up

  • Beautiful -- both objects. the cupboard and the kids.

    I have two that are in dire need of rehabilitation. Cupboards not kids.

    By Blogger Pamela, At 11:15 AM  

  • Okay, I want to borrow your pantry organizing team. My pantry is a disaster.

    By Blogger Maribeth, At 11:16 AM  

  • Nice idea ! Is that your winter stock ?

    By Blogger Gattina, At 11:40 AM  

  • Great photo and extra credit for covering the meme bases!

    By Blogger Michael, At 11:54 AM  

  • For some reason my kids never orangize their food. They just grab and eat and leave it messy. Sigh.

    By Blogger -tnchick-, At 12:04 PM  

  • Great photo! :)

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 12:11 PM  

  • Great shelves. My kids LOVE organizing, but they don't LOVE maintaining it. I haven't figured out the magic bullet. Beating with a lead pipe hasn't worked yet.

    Oh, just kidding.

    Fun site...I'm off to browse it!

    By Blogger Pioneer Woman, At 12:21 PM  

  • Good training!

    By Blogger YellowRose, At 2:22 PM  

  • at least they have good food on the shelf. Mine would have at least featured some pop tarts. :)

    By Blogger Carmen, At 4:32 PM  

  • heheehehe
    Ingenious way to get 'em all in!
    I think the end justifies the means in this case!
    Cheers to the kids!

  • This was a BRILLIANT way to "catch up"! I've been wanting to spend some time with you, so off I go to read more :).

    By Blogger Robin, At 9:46 AM  

  • Here for the Tuesday Tackle! Letting the kids do the job is great. They learn so much if only how to get along to organize a shelf! Nice shot of smiling faces!

    By Blogger FruitfulSpirit, At 8:43 AM  

  • Wow, how cute. Have your kids do the work....

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 9:44 AM  

  • That was too cool how you got all of your meme's done in one shot!

    How neat that your kids did that for you! And what a great job they did too.

    I did my first Tackle it this week.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 1:37 PM  

  • Oh, wonderful job! I love the way the kids organized by color and size. Very left-brained, LOL! We don't always give our logical minds enough of a workout. And not only that, but there was a spirit of cooperation there, too. Not sure...but I think that's a right-brain function. Yep, left and right brainwork! Smart, smart kids you have!

    By Blogger Mom2fur, At 1:52 PM  

  • Am just catching up with my visiting.........great idea having the kids do a tackle.......wonder if i can convince my boy to do next weeks......while I sit and sip coffee....

    By Blogger Tizzie, At 7:03 PM  

  • Very impressive! Now that's multi-tasking! lol!!

    Thanks for sharing! Your kiddos are too cute!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 11:03 PM  

  • Looks like the kids did a great job of getting the shelf organized. You're pretty organized yourself to be able to get this post to fit into a number of memes at once too. LOL

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 1:40 AM  

  • Great tackle & combination of memes! Way to go kids on working together! They did a fabulous job organizing things! I'm sure they learned an important lesson or two along the way. They're both very cute!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 3:30 PM  

  • Great organisational skills just like their mother I would say :)

    By Blogger WendyWings, At 10:32 PM  

  • LOL! So creative and multi-tasking. Some may say this is cheating but wow... I am sooo impressed. Neat Pantry btw - you wouldn't wanna see mine. -M

    By Blogger Margaret, At 10:54 PM  

  • ha ha ha ha ha

    By Blogger Nancy Murphree Davis, At 11:43 PM  

  • it is indeed the mother of all memes! that's great.

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 2:31 AM  

  • Wow, impressive getting all the memes into one post! :) Nice job. :)

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 3:12 AM  

  • Simply smart and creative...

    I love it!

    By Blogger Nadiah Alwi - Write at Home Mom, At 3:45 AM  

  • I hope my kids are as helpful when they grow up... just solving their own issues rather coming to me all the while would be a big help! Of course right now, it's better for them to come to me... their idea of resolving issues is fighting!

    By Blogger Amanda, At 8:44 AM  

  • No fair! You did all those w. one post.

    You are so smart!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 9:48 AM  

  • We don't need to find 13 items - I see what really counts - The Cheerios!!
    Great picture and great-looking kids!

    By Anonymous Anonymous, At 10:04 AM  

  • You've inspired me to get my kids involved in cleaning ours!
    great way to get them all done with one post! I'm impressed!
    Happy Thursday!
