Situation: Too many books and toys and not enough storage. All this clutter and the little girl could not decide what she wanted to play with.

Solution: We downsized the toy collection and got rid of the outgrown games and books. We also reorganized the closet which gave us a bit more room for extra items that did not belong loose in the room. The dog loved the new found floor space!

Another great Logitech mom tip from yesterday:

Create a vertical file system for each child. Have them make a folder for each day of the week and then one for each special project.

As the week unwinds, they can put papers in that days folder as they will become due or need attention.

Folders for the special projects work well to harness ideas throughout the year. For instance, they can keep ideas and research well organized and in one place before the great science experiment is due!
