Thanks for watching! Love, Mary
I relate to the decision fatigue; have been through it numerous times even over this past year!! I have a couple places that are a never-ending "black hole" myself!! (*smh*)
Hi Mary, I'm new to this sort of thing but stumbled upon your channel & wow what a wealth of knowledge... Thank you for all you're doing, Very valuable to me.
New subscriber here from Wales UK.. All the best! :)
@@markmoorman Welcome!! So glad you’re here! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
New sub to your channel, I am excited to see what it is all about. Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂🌻
I really hope no one ever sends you hateful messages … you are the mom some of us needed in our youth cook style… 💕
Thank you for showing the chaos pics! I thought it was just me 😁😁!!
LOL!! So glad you enjoyed those!! It was a disaster!! Love, Mary
Love seeing other peoples pantries and food storage. I live in an older house without many closets (hardly any), tiny kitchen, and not a lot of wall space to put shelves. I’ve got food stashed in several rooms 😂
Thank you Mary for showing what a real healthy stocked pastry looks like… I was watching another you tube showing her pantry and now I fell so anxious about her… everything in her pantry contains soooooooo much preservatives … I don’t think people understand the damage that preservatives in our food causes to our bodies and our kids… thank you for all your efforts in educating the future generations
You are so real Mary. Seeing the duct tape just made me smile. I feel the same way about replacing things given to me or done for me by my parents. The decision fatigue is so difficult but so glad you were able to get through it. 😊
Hi Maxine, you understand completely! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
My husband Larry laughs at me always working & enjoying it. A woman’s work is never done !
I’ve been hoping for a pantry tour! It’s SO helpful to see real working pantries, thank you for sharing Mary ❤️
Hi Melissa, You are so welcome! I'll be following up with an entire series including the organization and tour of my whole Four Corners Pantry - including my refrigerator, freezer, and Extended or Prepper Pantry. I'm a gal on a mission! Love, Mary
@@MarysNest Yay! Thank you, I have been hoping for something like this!
Thank you, thank you for not editing out how hard it is to keep everything organized 🙏
Finally, a real life pantry that looks like mine! Thank you Mary! You are a constant source of inspiration, reality and practical advice. I love you and your channel. You are my safe space when I feel anxious and I doubt myself. You are a shining light here on CZcams. God Bless you x
I think those "Pintrest perfect pantries" mostly belong to people that don't actually cook :)
I’m going through this right now. We are in the midst of unpacking from moving and the decision fatigue is real! I’ve had to take many breaks and do a little each day. Taking a break and coming back with a fresh set of eyes really does help!
Hi Emily, I understand completely!! Love, Mary
What a blessing it is to meet the person God prepared for us! ❤ Thank you for sharing that beautiful story!
I'm still watching but LOVE this video Mary! It is wonderful to see your real life pantry! Regarding decision fatigue - Robin at Faith and Flour has helped me overcome this problem so much. She will often reorganize areas again and again. I've always felt such pressure to get it right the first time and then I just become paralyzed with the whole project. But since I started watching Robin a couple of years ago, I feel freedom about organizing. I just put on my "just do it" shoes and do whatever seems to work best at the time, knowing that I can just come back and tweek things if I need to. Thank you for sharing your pantry with us!!
Hi Kris, I know what you mean! Robin is such an inspiration! Love, Mary
Its encouraging that I'm not the only one who feels so overwhelmed by this! Thank you for this great video, it came at the perfect time, as I'm endeavoring to finally organize my kitchen, house & life! At the ripe old age of 64! Better late than never! Thank you sweet friend Mary! Your 'Hello sweet friends' greeting always brightens my day!
Yes, I suffer from analysis paralysis too. When we recently moved to a smaller home, I found that (as much a possible) using square/rectangle storage containers helps.
I understand completely!!
Analysis paralysis.... I like that! I will keep that phrase in mind.
I have a hard time with that too!
Patricia Grove
@@MarysNest Speaking of square/rectangle containers: I saw on another channel that they used magazine racks for storing their boxes & packages of spaghetti. You can either store them upright, or, if you lay them skinny side down, you can stack your boxes and not worry about having them slide off of each other.
Watching from New Zealand.
Good morning sweet Mary, and all🙌🏾❤.
This is the first time I have come close to catching your live, I got a little excited.
I think It's been 2 or so years since following you, I have loved watching your videos, as they are so interesting, you are so pleasantly a bless to watch.
Thank you for your time, sweet Mary.
Hi Tina, So glad you are journey us on this journey! Glad you are here and thank you so much for all the kind words!! Love, Mary
Mary, I just have to share with you that my 13 year old now has her own canning shelf with the foods she's canned . She's doing so well and it's so fun to see.
That sounds great! What a wonderful thing that there are people like her to carry on such skills.
@@sueciviero3866 Thank you! I have many hundreds of jars I've canned and it's been such a blessing to be able to preserve food. I'm grateful to pass this on to my children.
Wonderful life skills to teach the youth can't wait to start canning as a beginner 👍🙂
Mary, Thank you so much for sharing. This is by far my favorite video you have done. That says a lot because I think all of them are great. I’ve learned so much and have been able to feel less helpless in these uncertain days. You are great teacher, mentor and encourager. I have grown to be more empowered and able to take control when so much is out of control. God has blessed you with great talents and I’m sure he is so proud of you for using them to help his other children. May God continue to bless you, your family and all those that love him. Thank you again. Julie
Oh Julie!! Thank you SO much for the kind words!! Love and God bless, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Thanks for “keeping it real”! Let’s us know there is hope for the rest of us!! Always look forward to whatever you have to teach us! You are inspirational and I appreciate all your hard work!
Mary you’re so sweet! Don’t apologize for your pantry. You should see mine! 🤦♀️ I enjoy your channel so much! Thank you for what you do. I’ve learned so much! Keep it up 😃
Oh Rhonda! thank you! Love, Mary
Oh Mary YOU are the definition of Pinterest Perfect 💗
You are so sweet!! 🤗❤️🤗
Mary, I LOVE how genuine and down to earth you are! I would love to be your neighbor - G-d Bless you for all you do! 🙏🏼
This is a "feel good" You Tube channel....as well as very very useful information.
Thank you for sharing about the shelf your dad put in, the bottle openers and the honey bear, etc. Memories of things like that woven throughout our day and home are so special. I so appreciate the recipe ideas and information as you went along too. Whatever works for each person and how they cook, is the right way to organize. The most used items within easy reach is perfect. The bottom of your pantry in the before picture looks like mine from time to time and I'm sure many others can relate. You're so cute being embarrassed but still showed us. Lol
I have found for me, I need to empty the whole pantry, cabinet, or closet all at once. I group items as I take them out with like products or things together, checking expiration dates as I go. Maybe even add things from other cabinets or areas that go with it even if not doing those spaces yet. Then I have a good idea of the space I need for each group of things. Sometimes I have piles of things out longer, but it works for me. Since I can't do much at one time now, I sometimes use bins to contain groups of things until I'm done with the gathering stage. Sounds overwhelming this way, but it works great for me in all parts of the house. Thank you for everything you do and share!!!
I really NEED this pantry organization series.
Hi Mary,
Love your channel. Thanks for the wonderful ideas. Keep making those videos! God bless you and your family.
Not our Sweet Mary “standing in solidarity” with pantry chaos. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much for this lovely vlog. You did good! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mimi!! I know!! LOL!! Thanks for the kind words! Love, Mary
OMG! Thank you for being so REAL! 😊
Mary you are such a blessing in so many ways! My pantry and extended pantry is very similar and mine is not Pinterest worthy either but it works. Good bless you for all you grace and inspiration 💕
I looks great, Mary. I love the way you stacked the clear rectangular storage containers. The wooden lids are perfect.
Mary, I appreciate all your information. Thank you and I hope you continue.
I paused the video (on my cell phone) and got out my magnifying glass to get a close look at labels, I feel like a nosy parker 😄 but it really helped me with thinking through how I could apply your sorting methods to my own pantry. My pantry is much like yours, but much deeper, so I try to keep larger, less often used items at the back. I'm short too, so I have a step stool stashed between my two small freezers nearby to access to upper shelves.
My spaghetti is stored out of the box in a Tupperware celery container I've had for over 40 years that didn't fit in my fridge very well.
Fideo is pronounced "fee - day - oh" it's a Mexican food item, used in a tomato and cheese dish that has the same name. I was born, raised, and have lived most of my life in Southern New Mexico near where Hatch chile comes from.
The black hole, Mary you're a hoot 😊
Hi Phyllis, Glad that gave you a laugh!! Love, Mary
Mary, just have to say I love you! You are an inspiration in every video but I truly enjoyed this one so much! You are a joy! I loved the realness of this chat - tour of your pantry. I had to laugh and nod in agreement over the bottom shelves and the “molasses on the floor“ story! I think most everyone has a similar event to relate to that. 😊 and I love your keepsakes as a reminder of love and joyful moments - right there in the kitchen area. Thank you for making this video and I truly look forward to the coming ones!
Thank YOU so much for being here…and the kind words!! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Oh Mary….we all have them little areas we hope no one will see. It’s all good. But it is a great feeling when we do organize and find things we forgot about. Great video 🇨🇦💕
I love listening to you Mary.
Decision fatigue is so real. I've experienced it so many times every time we move especially. My husband was in the military for over 2 decades and we are living in house 14.
So cute when she smiles
This kind of "orderly" storage makes it so much easier to design a dinner menu. Thank you Mary!
I've got 4 storage spaces. Working pantry (entry closet with nook of shelves, some up high for extended), canning cellar in basement, awkward hall closet upstairs for extended pantry and household things, attic room for empty jars and boxes.
Thank you Mary for giving an explanation to Prepper stress, I was feeling like this for a bit. The builder/1st owner kept kosher so there is 2 kitchens and lots of storage space in my house. So when I had the “C” this year I didn’t have to shop for a thing 😉
I just found this….I am just completing reorganization of my Prepper Pantry that is in our basement store room. It is better but I need a whole lot more room…..it is work but so wonderful to have. I only started this about a year ago. I absolutely love you and how you do things. I am a scratch cook, I have taken culinary courses, I do some catering, run a little Cafe’ at our church…..and you are so very inspiring and helpful to this 78 year old energetic grandmother. I thank the Lord for you. I need to find your web site. I keep forgetting the name. No worries, I will find it. Just want to thank you for being here.
I WISH we had an H.E.B in New Mexico. I just went to Texas to visit my sister for Thanksgiving and she took me to H.E.B. I loved it! And Bucky's!
Aaaaaaa! I needed this desperately. As we say in these here parts, BLESS YOUR HEART. Thank you for continuing to be REAL.
Now that pic is a real life pantry! Most pantries are only organized once a year or two and it only lasts a few weeks or months.
OCCASIONally Aldi have clear storage ‘fridge’ bins/containers. I use these in my fridge and pantries to keep shelves tidy; to easily access items at the back of the shelf; to catch crumbs & spills = easy cleanup. WHEN it comes to decision fatigue, I give myself some grace and accept that it’s ok to put things away without too much thought stress. You can always switch things around later once you realise that things may work better in different places. 😊
Lovely video Mary, really enjoyable and inspiring. Do you now find yourself opening the pantry and just standing there admiring it? Please tell me I’m not alone in doing this. 🙂 It’s so satisfying after all the work it takes to get organized.
I’m with you on the love of tins, I have one that was my great grandmothers that held Droste cocoa.
Hi Valerie, oh how you made me laugh… Yes, I leave the pantry door open when I’m doing the dishes because I love looking at it! We are definitely sisters! Love, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Mary, thank you for showing an actual real life working pantry not a Pinterest pantry🤣 I have a small pantry like yours and wondered how to make it work. Can't wait to see your tours of the other 3 corners. Learning so much from you thank you "Sweet Friend".
Hi Sweet Mary, I'd like to tell you a little about Mère Poulard. She has a restaurant on the Mont Saint Michel. A very special Town built on a rock in the sea. I think you can see the silhouette of the Mont Saint Michel on your tin. Mère Poulard is known for her pancakes. When you walk by the restaurant, they are making the pancakes in their big bowls by hand. And they use différent rythmes, it sounds like joyfull music. They open the windows , so you can hear it in the Streets. When you visit Europe, you really should visit Mont Saint Michel. You won't regret it ! 💕
Seaweed/kelp that looks like a thick strip of yarn is tasty in a soup or cold salad recipe.
I love HEB. I’m from Chicago originally, now living in Arizona, but travelled in my work to Texas quite often. I fell in love with HEB and Central Market. They are a great family owned and run grocery chain. I so wish they would come to Arizona.
You are not short … we are just vertically challenged kinda folks! 😆 great video
Mary be careful leaving dry goods in boxes. The boxes can contaminate your entire pantry. I have been told by many boaters (presently living aboard) that cockroaches lay eggs inside the cardboard boxes - so never bring boxes aboard the boat. Just bug, even weevils can destroy all the dry goods in the pantry. My little Italian grandma taught my mom who past it on to me - put bay leaves in my dry goods. It apparently works as - No bugs in flour, cereal, pasta, crackers etc. thanks for all your wonderful ideas. I will try and follow more of your ideas in our Tuscan home.
I truly enjoyed this video!!! Great ideas on organizing 🥰. I love how you really get excited about different food items🥰
Love your channel! You are the reason I am working toward having a traditional foods kitchen. A working pantry option for long pasta is to break it in half so it will fit in a shorter jar. I break them in half when I put them in the pan to cook anyway, so this works for me. 🙂
We had a rain drain pipe emergency, which led to my pantry floor flooding, I had multiple cardboard boxes of jars sitting there. The pantry had needed organizing for years and it was the perfect forced opportunity to do it right.
I love Becky too she is so sweet. Love watching both you ladies very much.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video but I watched it when I was going to bed and next thing I knew I was in the kitchen rearranging my cabinets lol ♥️♥️♥️
Great Tour! Thanks!! I have always imagined that your 'Prepper Pantry' was a spare ROOM, in your home. Whether it is, or is not.......cannot wait for THAT Tour! lol
Well, at least the molasses didn't attract ants.
In all honesty, I think we all have had/have a 'disaster' area whether it be a shelf, a drawer or an entire closet!
How true!!
I marathon-watched your videos and put my foot down regarding restructuring / reorganizing my space. It took your 'pepper pantry' and 4 corners concept to convince my husband that it should be done. It was an exhausting chaotic week (or longer) but it's done and we couldn't be happier. Truth be told, I was cursing you at times lol, when I realized I also needed to inventory, restock and organize all our storage areas. I can't thank you enough for the motivation! God bless :)
I love the 'pantry tour' and just looking at the variety of foods you have is such an inspiration! Here in the UK we just don't have the same massive choices as you do in supermarkets in the US but hopefully we will continue to expand varieties on offer here so I can try different foods like you have in your stores! I could literally spend hours in an American store looking at all the varieties of foods you have on sale, you are very lucky!! :)
Hi Mary, I have just discovered you and joined your clan. Enjoy your videos!! Your awesome!! God Bless🤗
Me too. Yorkshire.
And I could spend hours in a UK store 😆and you guys have farm shops which I adore!

You are like a doctor 👩⚕️ of homemaking
Thanks for sharing your win ideas with a fair measure of good humor! One addition I made to my extended pantry...a MAP labeling the 12 sections. I find that this helps to keep me organized and helps when I need to take inventory. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Loved your video. It's interesting to see how other people organize their pantries. It always gives me good ideas on how I can do mine differently.
I love you, Mary. Your genuine caring personality shines quite brightly...bless you, honey, from Sherri in Trego, Wisconsin.
What a helpful video Mary, thank you kindly for showing us your pantry. It’s so helpful in giving ideas on how to organize ourselves. And “decision fatigue” is so real, it’s exhausting especially when organizing pantries for optimal functionality. 🌸
Hillary is so much more likable and adorable in her Mary persona - cooking and nesting is her real calling. If only she had exuded this kind of pleasant attitude in 2016 she would have been President.
Same, Mary! Most of the time I use Kerrygold butter (grass fed) when baking. 😀
Good Sunday morning Mary. Thank you for the pantry tour. Your organizational are amazing.
I cleaned and decluttered like crazy during the lock downs, it felt great when it was over and my house felt refreshed
Hi Ms. Mary! 👋 Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your working pantry! I recently revamped my working pantry, but my poor husband had to live with the mess as I was trying to get it organized! Bless his heart! I plan to tear into the extended pantry next week to organize and make a list to add to the missing gaps. Thank you so much for your knowledge and your sweet spirit and smile! - from a friend here in Central Texas 😀
I love the Cross ✝️ by the door at the beginning, behind your left shoulder! ❤ Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Thank you so much for making this video! I actually have to organize my pantry today, so this is my motivation! 🤣❤️❤️ I love all of your videos, Mary! You are a blessing!!!!
😂😂😂within 2 minutes you had me cracking up! I've been in that situation 🤣🤣🤣💌💌💌
I love watching Becky! When I reorganize our pantry I take everything out and put it on a 6 foot folding table. I have to see what I'm working with and I can't do that one shelf at a time. Thanks for the info
Thank you for being so real! This is real life! We all need Grace and this is so encouraging for me! Thank you!
Dear, sweet Mary, thank you so much for this tour. It's been such an inspiration. The first thing I will get is an over the door organizer. Looking forward to the next installment. You are so appreciated : )
You inspired me and I just reorganized and cleaned my working pantry! So much better - thank you!! 🎉❤
Such and encouraging video and I have to say, I love how you say "scrumptious!" XOXO Michele
Hey Michele!! LOL!! Thanks so much for all the kind words!! Love you, Mary❤️🤗❤️
Ms. Mary, for storage of pastas (spaghetti) I use those tins that surface around Christmas,that have popcorn in them.
I also hit the Goodwill type stores around Christmas, because they usually have lots of the metal cans in all sizes. I actually have a metal “nut cracker” looking tin that is about 14-16” tall,filled with spaghetti. I set him out near the Christmas tree (spaghetti and all) lol.
Good idea. Thanks.
Hi Mary! I love watching Acre Homestead as well. I definitely get Decision Fatigue when I overdo it. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Fideo is pronounced Fee-day-oh.
You are such a delight to watch. Your sweet Godly personality shines through. I’m learning so much from you. Thank you and be Blessed in the Lord
10 out of 10 preparedness rating. You have a warm heart Mary, and that's what I appreciate most about you!!! God bless you and your family!!! What I've written seems so cliche I'm sure, but nothing could be further from the truth. These things come straight from the bottom of my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️
Yes!! I saw Becky talk about decision fatigue- I could so relate!! And choked up when you mentioned your Dad. And "I'm just a better person on caff coffee" lolol
REAL AND HELPFUL!
Wonderful video, Mary. I love your honesty and your way of teaching. I think this may be my favorite video so far. XO
I’m so happy to see someone’s pantry that’s not Pinterest perfect. That’s not normal life. Love to see a “normal“ working pantry.
And thank you for your your sincerity and being so warm genuine and not filming in a studio like some other channels. Always inspires and encourages me in my real kitchen.
Thank you for this tour and the sentimental items you use. I love thrift shop items in my pantry. My working pantry can hold 3 months of fruit; vegetables; beans; grains; canned meats. I "hire" grandkids to bring cans, etc. from downstairs to restock. When something is used, it goes on the shopping list to be bought on sale. Then downstairs it goes. I love the inventory you provide.
For storing long pasta like lasagna sheets or spaghetti, I’ve found plastic boxes with locking snap lids (with air tight gaskets) on Amazon. They are marketed as bread loaf keepers.
I’ve found repackaging my dry goods saves me space. I can consolidate several store packages into my own “standardized” containers to fit more product into less space while better protecting from pests and degradation.
Magazine racks also work well for storing those types of boxes.
I completely relate to this. In my house, I am the only female. My husband, my 3 sons, and myself. Inevitably, I am the only one who can find items in an instant. I really need to make my pantry and food storage more user friendly to the rest of the household and work myself out of a job. 😆 Thank you, Mary, for your helpful content. ❤️
My pantry door shelves are taped up with packing tape! Lol
Mary, thanks so much for this video. I have been working through decision fatigue related to cleaning house/organizing lately, and I just really appreciate that you talked about it and your methods for dealing with it. Thanks so much for your sweet videos. You're like the knowledgeable and kind aunt that I wish I had. Be well and thank you.
I think using bins for same products is a good organization tool. Thank you 🇨🇦
I need to add shelves to my door like yours. It would add so much more room to my pantry.
Hi Mary, fideo is pronounced (fee-deh-oh). I have such found memories of my great grandma mading me fideo soup for lunch. A thin tomato-chicken broth soup. It so good. The secret is to fry the noodles and toast them. There’s a little sheen of oil on top of the soup. Yum!
Thanks for the info!
Thank you very much Mary
I found tall glass containers at Ikea. Grabbed it up for our spaghetti since I couldn't find one either and had been considering getting a plastic one. Anyway, they're really nice with the attached lid with the gasket.
Decision fatigue describes my kitchen right now 🤪 so glad I'm not the only one!!
Sweet Mary. Thank you for being real. I live in a cottage on the water in Swansea MA with limited storage. I’m trying to find solutions for what to have at the quick vs prepper long term storage and you’ve provided me with so many helpful ideas. I appreciate these videos.
The same thing happened to me over the past few years. During Covid I started watching you & Becky, which inspired me to up my panty & long term food game. I’d add a bag of items to build my pantry, then another, then another…never getting to the “organizing it” step. It somehow made me feel so much better knowing that you, someone I’ve come to admire, had the same issue. Thank you so much for sharing your before & after. 🥰
