Kids School Stuff  Decluttering:
We all know that kids artwork🖍, papers📝and old school books📚📓can accumulate really fast! Here are some tips to conquer the clutter monster:

1) Give each child a “junk box”. When it is full, it is time to get rid of stuff!
2) Go through it right away! Don’t wait! The clutter will be every where!!
3) Put the backpacks🎒in storage, if you plan to reuse them. Don’t leave them on their hooks or coat closet. It will just get in the way with the camp🧢🕶/swim gear.
4) Take photos 📸 of sentimental items like report cards and other projects and then discard (gulp😯)!

The goal is to get rid of as much as possible! You don’t want it to get too overwhelming!
We all have sentimentals that are hard to throw out. What is your I-can-never-throw-that-out item??
