Helpful finds

This was my pintest inspiration.  I love the idea of doing this in the bathroom as well or inside the kitchen sink. Still plan on doing that.  But for now we have one in the coat closet for flashlights and spare camera cords and batteries and things. and this one in the pantry.

These ar $5 at walmart and are for your shoes but LOVE them for this! This is the kids lunch making station.  They make their own lunches for School and can clearly see what they can take for juice boxes or their 'unhealthy' snack choice.  although there are the fruit cups also kept here but most of the healthy coices are in the fruit basket on the counter or in the fridge.  We also store packets of gum, chocolate and popcorn.

Another pinterest idea.  I picked these frames up at a discount store for around $5 each. They are 8x10's and the girls picked their favorite scrapbook paper and typed out daily lists.  Sheradia did hers in a time frame (3:30-3:45 afterschool snack....3:45-4:00 daily chore).  Zeph did hers in check list style.  Love this! I no longer have to remind them to do things or ask if things have been done. I or they can just look at the list and see what they should be doing.  They use dry erase markers on the glass to check off what has been done or add if they need a reminder of one off things then start freash the next day.  Over summer they were able to print out new lists as their scheduals changed.
