52 Days of Organizing: Entryway & Homework Station

I started my little organizing challenge during my big kids break from school. I wanted to give him a fresh start when school started back up! I created a place to keep his coat & backpack, do homework, and play after school! 

Simple hooks from target solved the "let's throw our coat and backpack down by the front door" problem we had been having! I also added a boot tray for those wet boots (that thank goodness were not using right now.. No more snow please & thank you!) I added a mirror too, because who doesn't like to look at themselves before they walk out the door! I keep my solly baby wrap and Finns baby bag (always packed and ready) hanging here as well for a quick grab and go out the door! It's nothing crazy, just a simple fix that helps makes morning stress free and  keeps mama from loosing her mind! 

We also use the two green bins right next to the front door for gloves, hats scarves & an umbrella for rainy day walks to the bus stop!

Our playroom is attached to our entryway, which makes transition to putting everything away after school and starting homework a breeze! I wanted coledon to have a space for his own to work on his assignments after school. We use a small IKEA kids table and chairs and lots of bins to stay organized! Here's a few pictures to give you an idea ...

These boxes make it easy for coledon to grab and take what he needs to the table! The homework help has everything from pencils and scratch paper  to glue and scissors.. Pretty much anything a first grader would need to complete homework! The reading practice has his leveled books and sight word cards for daily reading! I keep his weekly homework calendar and any papers than need completed in the small file holder, which I change out every Monday after school!  Some other supplies we have are ...

 

And here's a peak at some toy organization .. More to come 👌👌
