I am working on organizing in my new kitchen. What do you like to have on hand in the kitchen (think mini office -- i have an ACTUAL office for work stuff). So far I am thinking:
pens
note paper
labeler
labels for the kids clothes
scissors
tape
What am I forgetting?
TIA

a little stapler
sharpies
if you can find one, a laundry pen - great to label coats etc just as you're leaving because you forgot until right then. look in the sharpie area at back-to-school. otherwise they can be a bit hard to find.

oh, and depending on your kids' ages, those inchworm sippie labels with their names and little labels for their lunch bags/boxes/parts.

116 broken pencils, 54 dried up pens, an empty roll of tape, screws and keys which I have no idea where they belong. Oh you don't want your junk drawer to filled with junk?!?!?!

"No American president has ever supported a major expansion of civil rights that has not ultimately been adopted by the American people - and I have no doubt that this will be no exception. The march of freedom that has sustained our country since the Revolution of 1776 continues, and no matter what setbacks may occur in a given state, freedom will triumph over fear and equality will prevail over exclusion." -Michael Bloomberg
