Do the words “Back to School” strike as much terror and dread in your heart as they do in mine? I’ll confess, I am still trying to face the bags and backpacks full of papers that are lying in wait for me in the hall closet. They need to be sorted before we can begin again!
We always lose control of all the paperwork by about the third week of school. Despite the best of intentions, with four school aged kids in preschool, elementary, middle and high school, we often fail to sign copies and return permission slips & order forms before a few prompts and frantic searches.
I’m trying to stay on top of it this year, which is why I have built a Back to School Organization Station with simple items from Home Depot and my own collection of bins and bits. I’m hoping we’ll be able to stick with it – one place for everything and all the backpacks, lunch pails and permission slips in one place. Check out the instructions and details over at Casa De Chaos on Babble.
