Get Kids Keyed Up
Getting the kiddos excited about getting back to school (and organized) can be a challenge, so involve them early on and in a creative way. These cute DIY keychains are a fun craft project that you’ll actually use. And there’s one for every skill level, which we love.
Stylish Arrangement
As you pull together the elements for your family command center, lay them out on a flat surface so you can visualize how everything will look. It’s best to start with one large item, like a calendar, then arrange everything else around it. Use Command™ Products, so you don’t have to worry about putting dozens of holes in your wall. You’ll end up with a balanced look that feels more like a stylish gallery than a jumble of family reminders, notes, and party invites!
Pretty and Personalized
Go Old School
Even if you track most family activities and important dates on your smartphone, there's something to be said for creating an “old school” calendar. It’s a quick, affordable way to get all family members on the same page- especially younger kids. HINT: Set a weekly reminder on your phone to update the wall calendar for the week ahead.
