School Organization Bin

After lots of prayer and discussion, Hubby and I decided that homeschooling would be the best choice for the twins as they head into Kindergarten this year.  I'm still a bit anxious about balancing schooling and life with a toddler and newborn but I'm also really excited about this opportunity for our family.  I have spent the past couple days planning and was really excited to put an idea I found on pinterest into action.

In this bin I have a folder for each of our five school days, our current read aloud, teacher's guide, phonics guide and thinking skills workbooks.  I love that everything is all in one place and all I need to do is grab  things as we go.



Frugal (Free) Storage Bins

I have been on a purge/declutter/organize rampage lately and tonight's victim was my laundry room.  I had a few things stored in some old Huggies boxes since we moved here (2 years ago) and when I chunked all that I decided to try to revamp the boxes.  They aren't exactly beautiful but they're functional and, even better, they cost me nada!  I sprayed the sides down with white spray paint and stuck a couple pieces of scrapbook paper to the front.  Easy peasy!

(I would LOVE to share before/after pics of the laundry room but unfortunately blogger isn't cooperating at the moment.  Hopefully I can get them up soon.)
