Creating Memories that Endure,

Hi Laurie,
Could you please tell me where the bins came from on the organization station and how they were secured to the wall? I have been looking all over the internet for those and can’t find anything like it. Thanks!
Hi Laurie! I am in the mix of creating an “organization station” similar to the picture that you posted above. The one with the clock and the bench. My daugther is entering the second grade plus I have a one year old son. I would just go crazy last year when Ui could not find the diaper bag or homework during the early mornings. I go back to work a week after school begins and I want to be stress free. I would love to post my creation after I have put it together.
The new school year has already started here! We have a 1st day of school tradition as well – CAKE! You can find it here: http://mamasamess.blogspot.com/2011/08/first-day-of-schoolagain.html This year is 4th grade….we’ve been doing it since kindergarten!
Pinned this so that I remember to use you as the amazing source you are!!!
lovely days are back.
