As kids are heading back to school, papers will start to be collected and a new batch of grades and drawings will go up on the fridge. School bags will start to be tossed everywhere but where they’re supposed to be and things might just be a little…less organized.
Instant Hooks, Easy Removal
Command Brand can help you get organized in preparation for the school season. Their new Clear hooks line allows you to instantly install a hook wherever you need it. And since they’re from Command, they quickly and easily can be removed (if needed) without leaving any sticky residue or tearing up your wall.
Their hooks are available in a variety of different sizes, with each size being able to accommodate a different weight limit – up to 5 pounds. Use the medium hooks for jackets or hats and the smaller hooks for locker keys or other lightweight items. Making sure each school item has it’s own designated place will help keep your home organized.
But their organization goes beyond just helping the kids get organized. They also offer a few options to help the adults get organized too. I really like their new Fridge Clips. My current fridge doesn’t accept magnets – I didn’t even know that was possible. So all of the recipes and coupons and organizers I had on my old fridge now have to get stuffed in one of the (already full) drawers. With the Fridge Clips, I can attach them to the front of the fridge and just slip my favorite recipes into the clips, making them easily accessible.
You can also conveniently organize your kitchen using Command Brand Clear products. They have these really cute utility hooks that you can use to hang up your cooking tools, such as spatulas or spoons. This is super convenient for me because I sometimes forget which drawer I’ve placed which utensil. If it’s hanging up, I know where it is at all times.
Other useful organization products from Command Brand include a cell phone holder and a spice/nail polish holder. Both are easily installed with the included tape and can be mounted on a wall, cabinet, mirror – wherever you need the extra storage.
Command Brand Hooks and holders are an easy way to get extra hooks or storage options in any room, with any type of decor. Since both the adhesive strips and the hooks are clear, they can “blend” into walls and surfaces without drawing any attention. They install in moments and can be removed just as easily with a gentle tug of the adhesive.
Where to Buy Command Brand Hooks
You can pick-up the new Clear Command Brand hooks and holders from retailers nationwide. You can also buy Command products on sale on Amazon.com.

I always try to make sure the backpack is packed the night before
Make sure as much as possible is done the night before to prepare for school, especially if your kids are the type to run late. Pack up homework, supplies, etc in the backpack, make lunches, and pick out the next day’s clothes before bed and things go much smoother in the morning. You can even set out bowls and cereal boxes to speed up breakfast!
Having everything…school pack/papers, clothes, lunch or lunch $, and knowing what breakfast will be….ready the night before…otherwise it’s sheer craziness.

get kids familiar with the school and where their classes are beforehand so they aren’t as nervous
I have the kids help organize their stuff, they don’t always like doing it, but it helps them stay involved and helps them be more responsible. I of course take inventory of everything though
lol
Get magnetic clips – one per child. Hang them up and put all paperwork that they need in one place separated by child.
i have my kids pack up everything in their backpack the night before–that way there is no last minute, trying to find something
Have a calender all filled out with the days that are unusual ,like gym days, after school activities ,half days,so they have the right clothing ready for that day.
And always have the shoes they plan on wearing with everything else. Can’t go to school without shoes.
I’m big on making lists. I make lists for *everything*. I don’t think I’d get anything done otherwise. And it’s nice to be able to cross things off to show you what you’ve already accomplished.
I do as much as I can the night before. Pack bags and lunches.

Stock up on school supplies to last the year, while they are on sale now. Have your child pack his school bag the night before.
organize early and then leave it. do not stick hands in backpack until day 1!
Use one color for each child. Pink,purple etc. so you know who has what and if it is left laying around you know who to go to!
Thanks for the chance.
