School Papers Organization: Oh, so Cute!
School Papers Organization for the Sane Mama
The school year is fast coming to an end and you’ll soon find yourself having to store and save your kids’ precious work. If you have been paring them down through the year, then that will be easier, but if not then the task becomes daunting!
With three boys in elementary school and a mother (mine!) asking me to save *everything* I was drowning in paper and loosing my mind every end of the year having to sort and decide what to keep, what to toss.
I came up with a system that works super well and keeps everyone sane, speciously this mama!
Watch this short video with my tips to keep what you love and do it in a way that makes your life simpler. No more end of the year stress! Just fun.
How do you keep the kids’ work and art?
Have a great week.

With a busy 2012 that ended with a month long trip abroad I let myself become a victim of procrastination! So, after two long days of paper organizing to make sure all was in place I was so mad at myself for not being organized (How dare you!?) that I decided to put a system in place that will “feed itself” and when tax season comes again I’ll have all sorted out.
