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

Sooooo you may have noticed I haven't posted in 2 years...
I'm still kickin' just not at my business.
I made a decision and forgot to let you know about it #well,that'sabadfriendnowisn'tit
I traded the time allotted to my business to my family, myself, my dogs, my friends, PTO, and building my dream home.
I hope you understand it's me, not you. After my crazy long battle with Breast Cancer and so quickly jumping back into the organizing industry, publishing my organizing pocket guide, and working with some of my dear clients, I realized it wasn't the right thing for me or my family.
I learned I'm not as quick to process as I was once. I was not wanting to return business calls & not excited for new organizing projects.
I was tired... so I retired.
I want you all to know it was a GREAT RUN and THANK YOU for being part of it!!!! I'm so thankful "Organize in Style"... "Organize the Whole Shebang" was a major chapter in my life's journey. It was a fabulous chapter full of incredibly interesting women.
Sooooo Thank you again, I appreciate you so very much.
May you Live the Life You Imagine~
Fondly, Krista Colvin founder & owner

MY TIPS
for Helping
your
Kids
Get Organized...
| | | |
|
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...
