Organizing Thursday: Bamboo Kitchen Drawer Organizer
This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
I have several drawer organizers, and they are indispensable for reining in cutlery chaos.
I like this one in particular — the bamboo is an upgrade from my old plastic ones. It also has eight compartments to accommodate everything from teaspoons to serving spoons and adjusts to fit your drawer. It’s even useful outside the kitchen — I use drawer organizers to hold hair brushes and accessories and even makeup.
This bamboo kitchen drawer organizer is $16.99 at Amazon.

And — here are some of our latest threadjacks of interest – working mom questions asked by the commenters!
- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…
- I’m thinking of leaning out to spend more time with my family – how can I find the perfect job for that?
- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
All the existing “craft subscriptions” are so FANCY. I don’t need my kids to learn about physics and the mechanics of flight (I’m looking at you, KiwiCrate), I just want to set them up with a ceramic magnet and some paint. What I really wish existed is a subscription where you got one of those $6 craft kits from Target/Joanne/Melissa&Doug each month. And yes I know I could just buy them and GIVE them to my kid each month but mail is so fun! Anyway, not sure if this is a question or a complaint. Probably just a complaint. But if you know of a craft subscription that’s more “summer camp art project” and less “college prep” then I’m all ears.
My 4-month old suddenly went from waking up once at night to waking up every couple hours all night long. Is this a thing? A sleep-regression? What can I do to make her sleep again?
Thanks to the poster(s) who suggested a booster seat with just a lap belt yesterday. That worked really well last night! Kiddo must have just decided she was done with the 5-point harness. She giggled all through dinner and came back to the dining room after her bath to check out the new setup. She was pretty excited about it.
Definitely did NOT expect to be accused of giving my kid an eating disorder. Wow. To be clear, she crawls to the kitchen when she’s hungry, signs for food/points at the cabinet where the Cheerios are kept, tries to reach up on the counter to find out what’s up there, and clearly wants her plate. We definitely don’t expect her to eat everything (or anything) on her plate. If we ask her if she wants food and she says no, we just say ok and keep playing. If she just wants to eat a cheerio and fingerpaint for 5 min and then be all done, that’s fine. Daycare tells us generally how much she ate all day, so we have a pretty good idea of whether she’ll want much for dinner. She simply just didn’t want to sit in the high chair to eat anymore.
I am definitely not a craft mom but kiddo is too sick to go to nursery, not sick enough to watch Netflix all day and we spent the morning painting popsicle stick stars and making Christmas trees with cardboard from the recycling bin and washi tape.
preschooler logic – we are jewish and my 3.5 year old was asking about Christmas and i was attempting to explain that different people celebrate different holidays, etc. and she wanted to know why we can’t “try” Christmas since sometimes we try new foods…
Crossposting because I’m a mom haha — a startup based in CA (incorporated in DE) wants to hire me as GC. I live in NY and I’m only qualified in NY. I can’t waive in user CA’s multijurisdictional practice rule because I don’t reside in CA. Is there any way for me to get out of taking the CA bar exam? Can the startup establish a subsidiary in NY, for example, and hire me through that? (No one’s comments will be taken as legal advice, I promise. Just crowdsourcing my brainstorming.) TIA
Can anyone speak to experiences with the Cybex Sirona S and whether it’s worth it? My 6 month old son is almost 20 lbs and 70-80% p-tile for height, so I think the higher rear-facing weight limit will be important. I’m also 5’2, so the swivel feature also sounds nice. We have a Toyota Rav4 Prime. DH is average height. Would the car seat fit comfortably? What about if we have 2 car seats (or dare I imagine, three?) at some point? Thanks!
I have this organizer. It’s good quality, but be aware that the individual sections are quite shallow.
Should I tip the installers who are here installing a new A/C unit? How much?
Bf question. Baby is 5 months and exclusively nurses – although has taken a bottle fine from dad if I’m out of the house ( which has not been much). Can any of you tell me how much pumped milk you sent to daycare per day? I don’t have much of a stash but can send frozen extra too but for fresh milk – how many bottles and how many ounces in each?
(I haaate pumping. I think I’ll be better at it when she is out of the house though. Daycare will be around 8-4pm, and for the beginning I can nurse as soon as she gets home. Would also love to know pumping schedules too. Thanks all
