It’s time to get ready. Summer is almost over and it’s about to be back to school time. My girl will be in fifth grade this year. So we are preparing for her first day. I have put together a round-up of some of my favorite back to school posts from around the web. These are some simple organization ideas that will help you get ready for back to school a lot easier this year. I hope these ideas on how to be organized for back to school can help you get ready for a great school year.
1. First some lunch ideas for packing lunch boxes in new and fun ways.
If you need some peanut free options
2. Caddy’s are one of my favorite simple organization ideas. There were quite a few amazing ones to choose from. I love the homework caddy from Clean Mama. I’m going to put this together for my daughter before school starts.
Another cute caddy idea
Back to school means needing to get organized, here are some ideas.
For all the paperwork that will be coming home. I put together one of these for all of Bella’s school work. Well, what I keep of it. You can’t keep it all or it would take up boxes. Here is my paper storage organization system
I also want to share this amazing book on Time Management that has really helped me. It’s called Tell your Time by Amy Lyn Andrews. This book will give you so many great ideas for helping you deal with time management issues you may be having. I’m not the best when it comes to time management and Amy’s book was filled with great ideas that really helped me out.
What are your plans for how to be organized for back to school?

Wow! These are all wonderful. I can’t wait to sit down and read through each and every one of these posts. We seriously need to be more organized this year. With one in kindergarten and the other in 6th grade, I can see how these will all come in handy.

Love the homework caddy idea – we’re forever looking for pens or pencils or something that’s needed for homework and my foster son is 15! I’ve also sent the link to my friend who is about to start home schooling in a few weeks time.

These are fantastic ideas! I especially like the lunchbox organizer. That would have really helped me when I was in school. Everything was thrown into a paper bag and smooshed by the time it was lunch.
Michelle Snow says
These are really great ideas. I especially like the lunchbox divider.

This is my favorite time of year, and I’m not even in school. I may have to go buy some new office supplies though. I could totally rock a Lisa Frank folder.
