I LOVE back-to-school shopping when I get to pick out the supplies! I've chosen a few of my favorites to share with you... I think you'll find that if you knock out these simple projects you'll be ready for the onslaught of paperwork + the hustle bustle of September.

Organize your Backpack... Handbag

Great TV spot, Krista! Is it crazy that the best part of back-to-school, for me, is the new school supplies? The trick is keeping the kids from walking away with Mom's stuff. If the laundry room weren't so far from the activity hub, I'd consider keeping everything there. My supplies are in the kitchen, just out of reach of small hands, so I have the tools I need.
