Back to school time is a great opportunity to get organized. This year plan ahead and make it simpler.
A lot of summer clothing can be packed up and stored in boxes for next summer. Label the boxes according to the clothing size. Then next year pass the clothing along to other family members or friends. There’s always a need for perfectly good clothes.
Create a checklist for what you’ll need this fall and have your children help—shoes, socks, T-shirts, pants, and uniforms if you use them. Don’t forget to list sizes. Knowing what you have will help you shop wisely at those end-of-summer sales. Knowing what you don’t need will help you clear out the clutter.
