1. Browse Pinterest while feeding the baby. Say "hmmm" a lot. Wonder if you should have a board titled, "STOP. JUST STOP." for some of the crazy, crazy stuff on there. Find some promising ideas for spice storage.
2. Get all excited when you see this all over Pinterest:
. . . because HOLY COW one of your very favorite people did that! Sweet!
3. Become mildly unhappy with your current spice situation.
4. Collect various empty jars. And a baby spoon. And an avocado, apparently.
5. Print names of spices to punch out. Break your circle punch. Remind yourself that trying to punch three layers of cardstock was a bad idea. Realize that your sisters are going to mock you for having a circle punch, even the sister that secretly owns about 45 more punches than you do.
6. Try to cut circles with scissors. FAIL. Go with squares.
7. Ask yourself WHO CARES what your spices look like. YOU no longer care.
8. Oops - forgot poppy seeds. Write it yourself. In dull pencil. Because heck if you're going to walk into the next room to find a pen.
9. Pause production to take care of your cute baby.
10. Give the stink-eye to the teenager who waited until Sunday night to do her homework.
11. Run out of glass jars. Ask yourself if you care. (You don't.)
12. Meh, good enough. Pin THAT, I say.

WHY do you not become the Internet Erma Bombeck??!! You could earn extra money and become as famous as Nienie or Martha Stewart!!
You never fail to entertain me, Trina!!! I love your idea! I think it looks freaking AWESOME!
I love this post on so many levels. You are so funny, and I almost always relate! I too have wondered if I should have a magazine-photo-worthy spice collection, but never made it past an hours-long google search one day. That's not "hour's long". Plural hours. I am not on pinterest. Pretty sure it is not a good idea for me ...
Love it! I miss you!!!
