My kids also have after school lessons which means even more chaos. One of the things that's helped me to reduce stress is to get organized.
By organizing parent handout sheets, homework, and afterschool paperwork, you can save time and energy because you won't have to search the house looking for that important piece of paperwork that's been misplaced.
All you need to get started are shelving, baskets, or plastic containers and a good label maker. Having a label maker can even save you money. By taking the time to label your child's items, especially expensive items like cell phones and iPods they are less likely to be stolen and more likely to be returned if lost.
You can use your labelmaker to get you and your family organized all year round to use to make labels for bake sales or even garage sales.
Visit the DYMO Labelmaker website for more tips on how to get organized this fall. They have information on how you can use labels for kids lunches, homework, gym clothes, and more.
