Tip 3: Have a centralized cabinet, drawer or area for school supplies and art supplies. If you have everything in the same spot and kids know where to go to get it.

Tip 4:  This is a great time to spring clean your garage since it is out of sight out of mind. This allows you to get outside as a family and get outdoors.

Tip 5: Organize your fridge pantry and freezer. Go through and get rid of expired stuff. This helps us know what we have on hand to meal plan for a longer time and decrease time in supermarkets.
