I went to Kmart and got a whiteboard that had a calendar and I use this for the kids' events since I have them in 3 different schools and they have 3 different schedules.- Each kid has a different color for their schedule. That way we all know who has a minimum day/birthday party/back to school night/whatever and it's right there for all of us to see.
- Next I got 3 clear wall mount file holders at Office Depot. There is one for Tween, Flower Child, & me. Lil Miss doesn't have any papers yet and The Boy's papers all go to his mother's house. The kids come home and put all of their paperwork in MY BIN and I go through it as needed. If I need to give something back I put it in THEIR BIN and then they know it's meant to go back in their backpacks
- Then we have the heavy duty double metal hooks from ACE for the backpacks & jackets. Since The Boy is only here one school night a week, he and Lil Miss share a hook ... mostly because 4 would have looked wrong lol.
- Below that is a table with a basket for all their sunglasses, hats, and gloves.
- Under that will go their shoes so they don't go trecking mud and whatnot through my house
So if you're in desperate need of a "Happy Place" check out Organizing Junkie's Round Up and see what every one has come up with! She's got an awesome giveaway going on for this post and it's got my mind all a tingle! lol
