Clear off the counters and only pull things out as you need them. Not only will it make the place look cleaner and bigger, it will save time when you have to find some space to cook or do crafts with the kids! A clean and organized refrigerator and freezer will be much appreciated later on. Take the time to toss out any outdated food, use containers to organize the foods that are left, and combine like items so they are easy to find.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Shop the
