Organization Monday! Back to school!

Can you believe it is almost time to send your kids back to school?!  It seems like summer was over in the blink of an eye.  Today's organization blog is all about how to organize the chaos of the new school year.

Homework Station:

I LOVE this idea.  A place to write down everyone's schedules, a check list that the kids can do after they have completed each task and a place to hang up their backpacks and coats.

Each kid has their own schedule and a place to put any important papers for parents.  It needs to be efficient, but simple enough for the kids to actually use.

I love the idea of a check list for each kid.  

Organizing the Desk:

The desk needs to be organized in a way that a child will learn to put things back where it goes without being too difficult.  Scissors in one place, pens in another and so on.  

I love the idea of this caddy,  you can even pick it up and take it anywhere you need to.

A really simple and cute way to organize the desk top!

Homework Caddy:

This idea is really cute if you prefer the craziness to be tucked away.  A simple homework box with just a few homework essentials.

Monday is organization day!

What is small and can take over your home in a matter of minutes??? TOYS!!!  They seem to be every where you look or shoved into every nook and cranny your child can find.  I found some cool solutions to toy storage that look great and can be done on any budget!

It is best to go with a basket or a bucket in this situation (easy for the kids to throw in the toys).  Any size book shelf will do, or get someone you know to help you make a bench with storage slots underneath!  Pick up some bins that tie into your space, you could even use chalk board paint/tags to create a label for your child to remember which toys go in which bins.  Happy organizing!

Cute patterned fabric bins!  Love the picture wall!

Colorful organization that adds a splash of color!

Love these storage baskets and focal wall!
