 Got A Small Dorm Room?
1. Shoe bag: Shoe bags don't have to hold just shoes, you know! Get creative-use it for anything from socks and skivvies to batteries and bottled water. Be sure you get the clear kind so things don't get lost in there.
2. Under bed storage: Elevating your bed on blocks or 2X4s allows you to slide storage bins underneath.
3. Increase the surface area of your desk by going vertical. Use your wall space for acrylic pockets to gather your items together. If you have the space, a rolling file cart works great too.
4. Utilize a bulletin board: To help keep things organized use a bulletin board with a calendar for important dates and project deadlines, so they won't be missed or forgotten. Be sure you review your bulletin board weekly in order to toss out of date items.
5. Portable scanner: Use a portable scanner for notes, documents, articles and photos. It's a great way to turn stacks of documents into organized digital files to keep your desk neat and tidy.
6.Maximize closet space: A rod doubler instantly creates twice the amount of hanging space. 7. Use removable, Stick-on Plastic Hooks: Heavy-duty hooks for bathrobes, jackets, and "sort-of-clean" clothes that would live on the floor or bed.
8. An alarm clock: You know you need an alarm clock. Check out this one with a 7 day feature. Cool stuff! www.Dormco.com
9. For your toiletries: Get a mesh caddy for transporting them back and forth from the bathroom. It will keep your things organized and the open design lets water drip out. | |
 Organized Your
School Year
1. Kids need to make as many decisions as possible. Avoid power struggles by letting them make small decisions.
2. Create a special hamper in the laundry room for uniforms and other rush items.
3. Fold T-shirts so that the design is recognizable without unfolding.
4. Get plenty of sleep. Most kids between the ages of 5 and 12 need 10 to 11 hours of sleep each night. Most teens need about 8½ to more than 9 hours of sleep each night. So, make sure they get their ZZZZ's.
5. For older kids, send a signed note to school at the beginning of the year. This will give the school your signature so that your child can't bring a note they wrote and signed. Not that they would do that!
6. Encountering a bully is a difficult experience at best. The book "The Bully", is a great resource for elementary kids. The story is followed by questions and answers that give kids an insight on how to handle these situations. thebullybook.com
7. Be open to talk about their day at school. Kids love talking about their days, and need a listener more than anything. Be that listener and brighten their day.
8. If your child has allergies to certain products try Discount School Supplies for Allergen-Free products. discountschoolsupply.com
9.Medical information is often required before your child can participate in sports or club activities. Keeping all of your child's current medical information in one place will simplify your life. Prepare a typed list of any allergies your child has. Keep a current list of any medications your child is taking. Place the records in a binder and make copies when needed.
10. Homework can be a challenge. Designate a specific place and time for doing homework. Have your child pack all materials into their book bag after homework is completed. This will help ensure that they have everything needed for the next day. Be sure to include any papers sent home for your signature, lunch money and other essential items. A Homework Chart may help.

WHERE DO YOU SAVE YOUR CHILD'S ART WORK AND IMPORTANT SCHOOL PAPERS?
If you are like many parents, your child's art is stashed away in closets, drawers, cardboard boxes, plastic storage tubs, or behind the refrigerator gathering dust.
|  Introducing the Schoolfolio. The storage solution that organizes and protects art, schoolwork, report cards, class photos, and other keepsakes from pre-school to 12th grade. I have two All In One Schoolfolios and several of the singles available here in Portland. If you are a local reader and would like one, I'd be happy to sell them to you and you won't have to pay shipping. Just give me a call, or email me. They make great birthday party gifts! |
