Some Organization

Here are two ideas I have incorporated into our family lately. I found these cool colored cube boxes at Target. Micah is blue, Jake is green and Naomi is purple. As I am picking up through out the day, if I find anything that belongs to the kids I put it into their cube. They are responsible to put the stuff in their cube away by the end of the day. It has been working awesome and saves me a lot of picking up. Naomi's is always the fullest.

Second idea is cups. I cannot tell you how many cups the kids go through a day. It seems like every time they want a drink they get a new cup. We found these cool cups at Bartell Drugs. They are BPA Free and have straws and lids. The only down side is they cannot go in the dishwasher. They each have a color and they use that cup all day. Then I wash them at the end of the day and they are ready to go again for the next day.

I have one of those cups from Starbucks and I use it to calculate my water during the day... I try to drink 5 before leaving work... totally great for the environment as well!
