Kitchen Tip Tuesday, organize your medicine and vitamins!

So I am sure some of you are wondering why this would be a kitchen tip. Well, because we keep our medicines and vitamins in the kitchen. Some people keep them in the bathroom, but I personally like them here because it is easy to get a glass of water to take your medicine with.

I also keep them in the cabinet above the sink out of reach of little hands. I have been needing to organize these for some time. I had them in a large shoe box which I just took down and picked out the medicine I needed. This got to be a little crazy and time consuming searching for what I needed.

So below is the picture of what the cabinet looks like now. My mother will be so proud.



I have the bigger medicines and vitamins in the basket. I labeled the drawers with allergy relief, acid relief, pain relief and so on.

Lest you think I am an organizing queen (I know you were thinking it, ha!), here is my project for next week - the other side of this cabinet:



This would be my dish washing, kitchen cleaning utensil basket. I'm not quite sure what I am going to do with it yet, but feel free to offer any suggestions!

  1. Thanks for checking out my menu. I think this is a great idea. We've always kept our vitamins and medicines in the kitchen as well. I don't know why. It's just always felt to me like they should be there as well. Makes sense in my head.

    ...and in the bathroom....and in a drawer in our bedroom...and in my purse....

  3. I do mine just the same way! I have them in the small cabinet above our stove and in little baskets to keep them organized.

    I love having them in the kitchen too!

  4. It looks nice. I went through and organized my meds and vitamins about a year ago. I need to do it again. Thanks for sharing.

  5. I never thought to use the mini drawers! Great idea! I have mine in a variety of baskets. Then any extras are in clear tubs stacked at the back of my linen closet.

    Thanks for sharing!

  6. We keep our medicine in the kitchen also! I heard it is a better place to keep them. And it saves us tons of room for our stockpile of soap in the bathroom!
