Ok, kids are all back in school, happily or not.  Time to start a little organization around the house now that we have a little time back to ourselves.  If you’re like me, you buy the annual “school picture”.  I buy them all, every year, the good, the bad and the ugly.  I can’t help it, even though I rarely put them in picture frames, I have to admit they are great for handing out to grandparents, godparents and the like.  Nonetheless, the packages are never perfectly catered to what I need.  So, I usually end up with a few odd sizes and extras that I did order “just in case”.  Now what?  This is what I do.  Purchase a traditional 3-ring binder (thickness depending on how many children you have).  I have one which allows for a piece of paper to be inserted in the front, which I cutely printed out the words “School Days”.  Inside purchase tab dividers, again, based on how many children you have, and clear full insert sleeves.  Each child is labeled on the tabs.  I label the back of one of the extra photos with year, age, school and anything else you need to remember.  Then into the clear sleeves they go.  Each year gets filed in behind the previous.  Now you have a chronological file of all your school photos and they are easily accessible for those times when you need that “just in case” extra!  Of course, the same goes for all those sports and band photos as well.  Plus, the bonus….you never have to feel guilty about finding them all tossed into that catch-all drawer!
