I stumbled across this blog by Motherhood Your Way a “Life…your Way Blog” and I wanted to pass it along. It offered some great suggestions on some routines and ways to keep organized with all of the paperwork that comes home from school every day. It also has some great pictures for show and tell. Please enjoy…
As the summer winds down and the school year quickly approaches, we turn our thoughts from sunscreen and swimsuits to pencil boxes and backpacks. But if we’re not careful, the avalanche of paperwork that tends to come home in those backpacks can quickly overwhelm us.
Here are a few things we did last year that really helped us stay afloat.
(While I’ve never home schooled, I imagine many of these ideas could translate well. If you’re a homeschooler, I’d love to hear your ideas in the comments!)
Set Up A “Gear Station”
We used our mudroom as a place for the children to unload their things when they got home from school. There were spots for their backpacks and their shoes. And there were hooks for jackets and hats.
Happy Organizing! Bridges
