It\u2019s \u2018Back to School\u2019 season and even if your kids are already in school, it\u2019s still a great time to get your home in order so everyone has a successful school year. Follow these tips to get your home organized and ready for the busy days ahead!<\/p>\n

Organize the entryway<\/h2>\n

Set up the entryway of your home to withstand the morning rush out the door, whether it\u2019s the front door or garage door. Use hooks, cubbies, or a drawer unit to stash your kids\u2019 belongings so you don\u2019t waste time looking for that missing mitten or jacket. Get your kids into the habit of placing their backpacks in their designated places once their homework is finished so they\u2019re ready to go in the morning.<\/p>\n

Update your kids\u2019 closets<\/h2>\n

A new school year usually means a brand-new wardrobe. Make room for their new clothes by going through their closets and purging old clothes they\u2019ve outgrown, are in poor condition, or just don\u2019t get worn anymore. Donate anything that\u2019s still in good condition or passed down to younger siblings. Once you\u2019re finished, organize the closet by clothing type to make getting ready easier in the morning.<\/p>\n

Organize the kitchen<\/h2>\n

If making lunches is your least favorite part of going back to school, a little organization can make that task a breeze. Pick a spot in your kitchen dedicated to lunch construction and set up some containers in the pantry, cabinet or the fridge that holds lunchtime favorites like yogurt, fruit slices or cups, crackers, granola bars, etc. That way all you need to do is grab something from each section and lunch is ready! Or better yet: let your kids put their own lunch together.<\/p>\n

Create a family command center<\/h2>\n

Keep track of everyone\u2019s schedule by creating a family command center. This can be a bulletin board, large calendar, or even just a basket for each child. Use this area to keep important papers, like permission slips, lunch menus, or schedules.<\/p>\n

Designate a homework zone<\/h2>\n

After weeks of homework-less days, getting back into the homework routine can take some time. Make the transition back to completing homework easier by designating a place for homework. Whether it\u2019s the kitchen table, the home office, or their bedrooms, make sure this space is fully stocked with the supplies they\u2019ll need and do your best to limit distractions so your kids can focus on completing their studies.
