Hi there, I’m Amy Davidson. You may recognize me from my work as an actress, but I also pride myself in being the best mom and wife I can be to my son Lennox and husband Kacy, while sharing my experiences with other parents on AmyDavidson.com. Two years ago, we began renovating our home, and I became the proud owner of a beautiful Bosch kitchen suite: a 100 Series dishwasher, 500 Series over-the-range microwave, Benchmark Series gas slide-in range, and most recently, the new 800 Series 4-door French door bottom mount refrigerator, which has been a dream!
Since taking on this renovation journey over the past two years, the idea of organizing our home has gone from a daunting task to something that has actually become quite fun for me. I started off with an amazing organizer who not only got our kitchen and playroom in tip-top shape, but also showed me the ropes on her process as well. She made it easy for our family to stay organized by simplifying our routines. As part of this process, now everything in the kitchen has a “home,” so I’m not throwing random things in drawers where they don’t belong. Guilty.
(Insider tip: It works for kids, too! When I ask Lennox to put his toys away, he knows exactly where they go! Super big mom win here!)
Because this system has worked well for us, I applied it to our dishwasher loading habits and wanted to bring some of these organization tactics to our refrigerator as well. It was scary at first, but I did it! To be honest, our fridge was starting to look like the drawers used to in our kitchen – i.e. random things stuffed in corners where they don’t belong. I wanted to open the fridge and freezer to see delicious food vs. reaching for my favorite salad dressing and realizing it expired in 2016! Truth. Plus, I wanted to make cooking meals fun again and not feel like such a chore.
