Happy New Year, friends!   Today, I am sharing some of my favorite family organization tips!  3 kids, my work, their schoolwork? and their many  activities keep this mama busy.  Maybe you can relate? I don’t know about you, but I love to see how other moms handle their day to day business! 🙂

Craft Cart

So, I just picked up this fun utility cart to manage our craft supplies!   Extra paper, markers, crayons, play dough, all of it goes in this cute contraption in the playroom upstairs!

My kids love art time, so having all of our supplies together has been wonderful!

Command Center

Do you have a family command center?  When we built our house, I had visions of a little nook area for backpacks, schedules, and such.

This hallway leads to the garage. So, it’s the perfect spot! 

Voila: where the backpacks hang. 🙂 

The drawer below the bench holds gloves, winter hats, and such. 🙂

And, our family calendar/chalkboard!   Our kids ask approximately 90 million questions each day and most of them can be answered here.   

Our schedule, what’s for dinner, what day is it: just check the calendar and chalkboard. 🙂

Flair Pens

So, technically, new pens will not make you more organized, but look at how fun these pens are!   These are BEST for your day to day use.  🙂

Paper Mate Flair Felt Tip Pens, Medium Point, Assorted Colors, 12-Count

Aren’t we all more likely to write thank you notes and keep our to-do lists when using a neon pink pen?  😉

Erin Condren planner

And, of course, I couldn’t do life without my Erin Condren  planner

There’s lots of room to add all of your important meetings, appointments, and such.

And, a cute spot on the weekly view to write what you are thankful for that week!  So fun!

There are these colorful stickers that you can use to personalize your calendar

and areas at the back of each month and the back of the planner for your notes!

Plus, there is a pocket to add important documents!

So cute!!  You can hop on over and check out her products here and see for yourself!!
