The summer seems to be sneaking away from me. We have had a full & busy summer, and over the next couple of weeks we will be trying to develop some kind of routine as we get ready for the boys to go back to school. Some days I'm sad with the anticipation, other days I'm counting down. Its always a bittersweet time. On one hand, it will be nice to have a bit more time for the wee boys & for myself, but on the other hand, I will miss the big boys tremendously.
As today was a day where I'm feeling that back to school can not come fast enough (and when I'm hoping that tomorrow will be different!), I got to searching for some organizational tools to get back into the swing of things. So without further ramblings, here is a great collection of school year calendar systems to help you organize time for school activities that are just around the corner!
As part of my mission to conquer the house, I spent very little time and money making this organizer for some of the paperwork, books, homework, etc. that clutters our kitchen island regularly (permanently). The boys both bring home loads of papers almost daily. We have no real space for keeping track of what's on the go, what's due soon, etc.
I picked up this 5-drawer organizer during Boxing Week sales so it was half price. I was pretty excited about that... When I was driving home from the store I was thinking of ways I could label the drawers for easy use and also to give it a nice visual. Then I got the best idea to put the vinyl I've been desperate to use to great use!
I've had a crazy week at work so far (its fairly easy to tell my work schedule based on blog activity... work = no posts for days). I've had great experiences in the last couple weeks at work, and I have helped many babies arrive safe and sound into the world. The only sad part of the job lately is that I have been away from my own babies a lot... and I feel like I'm missing out on all the fun of the first week back to/starting school. I've also become overwhelmed (again) with all the paperwork that flows into our house via backpacks!
Tonight, I'm putting together some fabulous homework organizing tricks to keep ahead of the schoolwork this year!
