As a busy young professional, there’s nothing quite like coming home to a clean, organized home. Not only is it aesthetically-pleasing, but research shows there are major benefits for those who stay organized. Eliminating clutter can reduce feelings of anxiety and help you stay focused. Perhaps no one knows this better than Daniela Ramierz, lifestyle influencer and mother of two boys under five. When your whole life is shared on social media, keeping the house decluttered and clean is a top priority — but it can be tough with two young kids.
Celebrated on social media for her impeccable style, Ramirez — who goes by @Nany on social media — knows a thing or two about staying organized, and is always searching for new tips and tricks to keep her family’s home free of clutter. One of the best hacks she’s discovered recently is signing up for Walmart+ membership that provides access to tons of benefits that help save time and money — including free delivery* on items that help optimize organization.
Below, Ramirez shares her best advice for keeping a picture-perfect kitchen that’s always stocked with her family’s faves —and never a headache to maintain.

1. Designate Special Areas For Snacks
As a mom of two little kids, one of Ramirez’s best grocery organization tips is to designate certain areas especially for them, and fill these spots with healthy snacks. That way, her kids know where snacks are — and won’t wreak havoc rummaging through other areas of the kitchen when they’re hungry.
“I keep the not-so-healthy snacks higher up, out of reach,” Ramirez explains. “The lower drawers are designated for my kids, so they have access to healthier snacks, as well as their plates and cups. This way, they’re more involved in their own tasks and more independent.”
2. Store Food & Utensils In Clear, Plastic Bins
Ramirez uses clear, plastic drawer organizers to easily separate food and kitchen utensils. These drawers can be tucked away in a cabinet, stored in the fridge, or are even cute enough to sit right on the countertop.
Keeping items in see-through containers allows Ramirez and her family to easily find what they’re looking for when in a rush. And her Walmart+ membership makes it easy to order new organization tools in a snap without worrying about expensive shipping fees. Walmart+ members get free shipping* with no order minimum. (Can you say score?)
*Excludes most Marketplace items, location, & freight surcharges.
3. Remove Food Packaging & Store In Clear Fridge Containers
It’s easy for a trip to the fridge to become a good old-fashioned treasure hunt. That’s why Ramirez suggests removing the packaging from items when possible — including fruits, veggies, and yogurt — then using clear containers to organize items by category. Not only will you spend less time searching for items in the fridge, but you’re also less likely to forget about something until it starts to smell.
“A well-organized kitchen helps the whole family,” Ramirez tells Bustle. “My husband cooks a lot, so if we stay organized it eliminates the guessing game of where things are and cuts down on cooking time, too.”
4. Schedule Grocery Delivery
1 / 2
One of the many benefits of Ramirez’s Walmart+ membership is that it comes with free grocery delivery* with no markups— meaning she can get fresh groceries to her home without delivery fees, all at the same low prices available in-store.
By cutting out trips to the grocery store, Ramirez is able to focus on other important tasks and enjoy extra time with her family. Being able to stock your kitchen without even leaving the house? Major win.

5. Look For Opportunities To Make Your Life Easier
“I like grouping things together so that when you’re looking for a specific category, you know exactly where to find it,” Ramirez says. This grouping mentality goes beyond organizing her refrigerator and also applies to services and memberships that make life easier — like Walmart+.
In addition to free shipping with no order minimum and free grocery delivery, benefits also include savings on fuel*, and now, Walmart+ members get a Paramount+ subscription** included with membership too, which allows for streaming of over 40,000 episodes and movies, live sports, and more.
According to Ramirez: “I love that I not only save money with free shipping, but also save on gas money and trips to the store. I can spend more time with my family and more time working from home. Plus, my son’s favorite show is streaming on Paramount+, so let’s just say we’ve got that on repeat!”
*Fuel discount varies by location & station, subject to change.
**Paramount+ Essential plan only. Separate registration required.
Walmart+ members can save over $1,300 each year* with free delivery and free shipping, and the good news is that anyone can try it for free for 30 days. Ramirez encourages all busy professionals and young families to visit WalmartPlus.com to take advantage of a free 30-day trial. (Your fam, wallet, and home org skills will thank you!)
