We had a tear free first day of school on Monday! Praise the Lord! It was a lot better than last year.
I’m on a mission to be more organized this school year. {Organization is not one of my spiritual gifts. I have to work at it.}
One issue we had last year was our inability to ever find a pencil at homework time. More than once, McKenna’s teacher wrote a note home instructing us not to do homework in pen. Opps. My bad.
Hopefully my latest project will help solve that problem.
I took a bathroom caddy and turned it into our own little homework station. I found this one for $3 at Big Lots. (I love it when the dorm stuff comes out each year. They always have tons of storage items in cute colors.)
But I still wanted to jazz it up a little. Luckily, I had some washi tape on hand from a pick your plum deal months ago.
To corral the pencils in the caddy, I used an old mayonnaise jar.
Then all I had to do was add the school supplies! Easiest project ever! And the whole thing cost less than $5!
We are excited to start using it for homework! And it fits perfectly in one of the cubbies in the pantry for easy access. It’s the little things.
If you love it, give it a pin!
I’ll be back soon with first day of school pictures!
What a fun idea! My kids would love it! And as I was looking at the pictures I laughed – I have all that same washi tape! And those scissors! How funny is that?! 🙂
I would love for you to share this post (and any others!) at my Life of the Party link up. It just opened! Im going to poke around your site a little more.

Thank you! I will definitely add it to my list! Seeing as how we have the same washi tape we are practically related now 🙂
Love this idea!! It will really make my kids want to do their homework just so they can use this caddy!! Thank you!
Anything that makes homework a little easier right?!
Thanks for stopping by!
