Mom’s are starting to get into back-to-school mode…. Cleaning out kids closets to see what fits and what doesn’t, trying on last year’s school shoes hoping that they still fit….

Soon your house will be taken over by oversized back packs, lunch bags, and rocks (if you have small boys)…
Before the mess gets manic, organize ahead of time with these tips…

 

Hang It Up!

I don’t know about you, but crap on the floor drives me crazy… So get those backpacks, hats and hoodies off the floor by using decorative hooks, knobs and coat racks. Also, consider adding a small table below the hooks to create the same effect as a cubby for your little ones to store their shoes and other out-the-door essentials. Shoe racks are great also…

 

Bins and Baskets!

Organizing the closets will make getting ready for school a breeze…If it doesn’t fit, donate it or if there are items in the closet that the kids haven’t worn -think about tossing it…Also install hooks for kids to hang their stuff on…
