I Finally Gained Control Over My Kids' School and Artwork Overflow — Here's How

Each of my four kids get a cubby, and that's where they store papers we need to keep on hand, like permission slips, school assignments in progress, and anything I need to sign, or they have to turn in. I used to try to keep all that stuff on the refrigerator, but it just got lost among the clutter. Ditto with the designated pile of papers to go through, I just ended up moving from one spot to another on the kitchen counter. Now, cubbies keep papers organized by child, so we know exactly where to look for any given reminder, study guide, notice, or form.
