Little did I know that it would lead to a whole new way of life for me. It was almost surreal to be seeing the whole experience through the kids' eyes. Every day when they would get home from school they would ask about the garden, and be ready to water it and tend to it. I loved the idea of growing my own herbs and spices, and they grow so fast... I found some spice jars at a garage sale and snatched up about 50 of them for $1.00. Now we trim the herbs, dry them, and put them in jars... And due to my overgrowing of the fruits and vegetables, we've even started canning. Earlier this year, I decided that gardening would be a fun and wholesome project for our family.

My kitchen cupboard is very close to yours and I am sure many of us in foodieland. I used to try and keep my spice cubby organized into food types like Asian and Italian, but honestly it is not working out that way and I have to go hunting all the time. That's OK! I like to dig for treasure! I am constantly adding spices to my cubby and in order to not let them go bad I find any excuse to cook! Great info post! Thanks! Great post.
