The site sent me over a few back-to-school organization tips as well that they thought would be beneficial to my busy household and possibly yours as well:
- Clothing sizes and style preferences are always changing for school-age children, even those who are college-bound. Back-to-school organization should start with a quick wardrobe check to see what still fits and what’s still “cool.” If something doesn’t work on either count, put it in the “donate” or “hand-me-down” pile. Good organization always starts with eliminating unnecessary items.
- College-bound students usually have a very limited amount of storage space and should use all that is available wisely. One good idea is to check whether the dorm bed will allow for storage underneath and, if so, find out the amount of space available (remember to get the height measurement from the floor to the bottom of the bed rail). Then purchase suitable storage bins that can slide underneath (make sure they are not too tall to fit) for storing non-seasonal clothing items, sports equipment, winter boots, summer sandals, etc. Save precious closet and drawer space only for what is being used everyday.
- Don’t forget to “look up” and utilize all vertical space, too. Use plastic storage bins, stacked to the ceiling on available shelves, to store items used less often. If the closet rod is high enough, you can purchase and install a second rod below to creating “double-hang” space to accommodate shirts, jackets, skirts, pants hung folded, almost anything except long dresses and skirts.
- Avoid the temptation to “super-size” and buy a year’s supply of items like shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. It is not worth sacrificing shelf space for gallon-size jugs in order to save a few cents. Ditto the years’ supply of granola bars and peanut butter crackers. Having excess quantities just encourages wastefulness, anyway.
- Smaller, still-at-home children don’t have as much of a challenge keeping their clothes arranged as their older away-from-home siblings. It’s their school supplies, homework assignments, books, notepads, gym clothes, etc., that are hard to keep organized. One way to cope is to keep a large, open plastic container next to the back door; get your child into the habit of dropping his or her backpack, books and loose items in there the moment they walk through the door in the afternoon (hanging up their coats afterwards, of course!) As items are removed and used during the evening, they also get thrown back into the bin when finished. The bin itself may be a jumbled mess. But at least everything will be in one spot for packing up in the morning — easier than looking all over the house at the last minute for a missing book or hat. And for multiple children — multiple bins in different colors.
