Filing kids’ art & school work is a BIG project on its own. I chose to store them in hanging file folders because of its convenience, easy system to implement – anyone can understand it! And it leaves room for growth.
In this episode, I show you how to organize your hanging file folders to store your kids’ paper documents and artwork that you want to keep. If you have more than 1 kid, this is perfect! My 3 kids’ school stuff that I want to keep, ALL fits in this hanging file folder system.
BE WARNED: This video shows you a no-frills organizing solution that gets it DONE, the pretty stuff can be for later.

Another (eyesore) prompt is the daily visual reminders of a stack of paints, chefs d’oeuvre and cute poems all piled on your counter for you need to sort through! – No thanks! You don’t need that!

I m going to do this – going Friday to get folders and stuff can t wait just finished organizing hubby and my closet. Next the kid and pantry. Toys done and under bathroom sink done. Thanks for all your great ideas. I see a summer project on the horizon! With 4 kiddos, I have soooo many papers and have been looking for just the right solution – thank you! I also have their teachers write a special note in a book – and they have no idea, which makes it even better!
