Life Hack: School Work Storage

Easy way to store children's school work and art work.

I’ve been sharing this life hack with friends for ages, and while I was organizing this afternoon I thought I would quickly share it here for you!  If you’re like most moms, the end of year means a ton of school work and art work comes home and you’re stuck wondering what to toss and what to keep!  If you keep everything, you’ll drown in paper and glitter, so this is how I stay organized!

Grab a pizza box (preferably an unmarked one like above which I get from the local take-n-bake place) and use it to store the minimal amount of projects and paperwork for each child.  Have them go through their work with you and determine what you can keep and what can be tossed and you’ve got yourself a flat, stackable, time-capsule of work.

You can get a box each school year or you can store just a few things each year in the box like I do.  I just keep report cards, special artwork and some school projects each year and the boxes take up no room at all in their bedroom closets!
