Here are a few tips to make sure your transition back to
school goes smoothly. Organization is
key to successful mornings and easy evenings!
1. Have a mudroom or designated area for your purse, briefcase, car keys and the kiddo’s backpacks. Keeping all these items together will make heading out the door faster. Check out Closet Factory for some awesome mudroom designs.
2. Clear plastic containers work great for food as well as non-food items. Everything is easy to see, plus you can see how much you have remaining before you run out.
3.Keep your countertop clean. By this I mean, keep the decorative items to a minimum. This reduces clutter and discourages others from adding things on the counter. Want to add décor? Opt for decoration above your cabinets.
4.Use a decorative basket or tray on your coffee table. This can hold remotes, coasters, toys, movies etc. Have a lot in your family room? Storage ottomans work great! Target has some cute styles and they double as extra seating.
5.Set a timer and have everyone in the household spend 10 minutes picking up around the house.
6.Color code and label as much as possible. I can’t stress this enough! Hit up an office supply store such as Office Max for a label maker! Use colorful bins or lids and colorful labels.
Hopefully these few awesome tips work well for you!
