What is your favorite tip for making the school year go smoothly?
We start in 3 weeks, so I need to start getting ready.
I love the upcycled cans on the lazy susan organizer and the coordinated locker accessories. I was a single mother with shared custody when my children were in school…we switched mid-week because of my job schedule. My daughter learned very quickly how to stay organized (a skill that has served her well in adulthood); my son never seemed to get the hang of it, although he's figured out a system that works for him now.
I love the graduation shirt idea! Having outfits labeled for each day of the week is super helpful too. I did that with my girls when they were little.
A ton of great ideas here. I love the IKEA cart. I need to start thinking about these things since we start in less than 2 weeks. Pinning this!
Great ideas! We homeschool, but there are still a lot of these that would work well for us, like the snack station!
School supplies. I thought I had everything until I cut the ear bud chord when I opened them. Now I get to buy them again.
There are certainly enough ideas there that one of them is sure to help someone with something they need help organizing. O think I like the lazy Susan school supplies tray the best.
I love the days of the week closet organizer it looks great and is something I should try out when I am working. http://www.fadedspring.co.uk
Thanks for the awesome round up! We have two weeks left so I am gearing up to start preparing!
So many great ideas! I have had my kids use portable homework boxes as well – works great!
This is terrific! I love the gift tower!
These are so much fun! I love the school supply vcake, what a great gift for a teacher!
All good ides. I just can't believe it,s back to school time already
