One of the items in my life that I continuously find incredibly useful when kept organized is my Purse! Diaper Bag, backpack, whatever you're toting these days, the more efficiency with everything that's stuffed in there, the better.

It is so hard to believe that it is already September! Before we know it, the first day of school will be here. This year my kids are headed to two different schools and for one of them we will be packing lunches daily. All the more reason to get us organized before the school year begins, making sure we are Back to School Ready!

Here's a really fun idea for your house! Create an area dedicated purely to imaginative play!

As my kids get older, I'm noticing how much they appreciate having their own designated areas in the kitchen. For instance, a small table that's just for them, a drawer or cabinet that they can reach all on their own so they can help set the table before meals, or even grab themselves a snack (that I will inevitably have to open for them of course). They love knowing its all theirs and I love that it separates their things from the "grown up" stuff.

It might be all in my head but I tend to think that my kids benefit from their toys being organized, and that it's not just fulfilling my need to have everything in order...
