Hey Girlfriend!
I'm glad you found my fabulous little organizing + lifestyle blog. It's all about integrating function + fabulous sprinkled with sass + inspiration.
If you were looking for Organize in Style... you found her... but she's had a little work done if you know what I mean ;) Cheers, Krista

LOVE that the kids are back in school... Loathe all the paperwork!
I'm super lucky that my kidlet's elementary school has a Friday Folder system. Every Friday they send home 'the pile' of papers for that week. No getting 3 Monday, 4 Tuesday etc. They bundle and send. Come Monday they return their 'Friday Folders' to the teacher with the 'signed' documents or checks for school pictures. It's a BRILLIANT SYSTEM!
I highly reccomend you march right into the principals office and demand they hop on the same train... tell them I said so... I'm happy to be the bad good guy.
In the meantime...
Here's a simple system that may work wonders for you with or without the above mentioned 'friday folder' system~
FOR ALL THE PAPER
1. Carve Out a Small Space to House the Incoming Paperwork. [I use a corner of my kitchen island]
2. Designate Categories that work for your Student. [To Do. Doing. Done] plus [MOM] for the stuff you need to hang on to.
The [MOM] file... Is hidden behind the 'Done' file above...
you don't have to keep it there, you can keep it with your other mom stuff.
TIP- if you place the paper in the files... they make look tidy but be difficult to access... I suggest using the files as section tabs only.
FOR ALL THE ART WORK
The ARTKIVE APP is BRILLIANT! Watch their video!
Personally I toss mine in the kitchen trash can but I learned the hardway that I must place items right side down and cover tossed items with coffee grinds and other trash decoys. Now I'm just going to use the app!
I also really love the Schoolfolio... but only one per kid!
[i think the only style currently available is the flower power]
Do you have a system that works for you?
...DO TELL!
I'd love to hear them...

If you've wondered where I've been...
I've been at the ballpark cheering on 12 incredible young men, sitting in the bleachers with their mamas, shaking my DIY noise maker-shaker, and making memories with my family. What a spectacular way to spend summer #45!

SO Proud of my son Wes and his fellow
Lacamas Little League All-Stars!
[handsome lil' devils aren't they! Can you pick out my boy?!]
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer...
I look forward to spending more time with all of you
once the kidlet's are tucked neatly back into their classrooms!
Cheers to the Boys of Summer!

Are you kidding me?!
I cringe when I hear the words "I'm bored."
Some person...
I'm fairly certain it wasn't my own parents, that told me
"Only boring people, get bored" #DamnRightStraightup
Hope these tips help keep you sane this summer,
whilst the kidlets take over your house, your life,
and every waking moment in between.
And just a friendly reminder...
This is really more for me than you, remember they will only be messing up your house and begging you to take them swimming for a brief chapter in your life.
