Hi Everyone!!! Are you ready for Back to School???
Before I share my latest project for getting the kids organized I wanted to share with you a little info I was given regarding kids & the use of smartphones. As my kids do more & more tech related things they constantly want to use my phone- navigating it without any help. Two of them are already at the age where they are asking for their own smartphone! I know that I’m not the only parent who has concerns about their kids’ mobile device usage. The team at Zact conducted a survey to find out what’s behind parents concerns. Did you know 73% of U.S. parents are concerned about the lack of parental control of a child’s activities on mobile devices?
What are your biggest concerns for your kids when they have a smartphone? How do you talk to them about it?
See the Zact infographic below for other great statistics on kids and mobile usage!

My kids are in the final couple days of school because we work on a calendar year- instead of a traditional school year. So I am nearing our off time- which I am so looking forward to. Life around here gets pretty nutty from here until New Year’s – so while we may not be following everyone else’s schedule- taking advantage of this time to get get organized is key for keeping my sanity.
On thing we HAD TO get a handle on was the girls hair accessories. Nearly ever gift giving event that happens they receive more hair accessories. I love it- I think it’s great. But keeping the bathroom organized was becoming a bit difficult with the over-abundance of items in there. Sooooo- we made an organizer. It was literally 5 minutes & we were done. I wish I could take credit for it- but it was actually mini-me’s idea. Yay!! I have created another re-purposer in the house. Everyone is pretty good about looking at something & seeing if it can be re-purposed for something else before tossing it. We save just about every yogurt, margarine & whip topping container because they work well for when I make homemade frozen yogurt or when we shop in the bulk section at Win-Co & need containers for all our food when we get it home. So this container was actually re-purposed from the shortening. She looked at it once I washed it & asked if we could make it cute for their hair stuff. SURE!! What a great idea!
It holds all of their rubber bands, clips & soft head bands inside- & has a lid so the cat can’t steal them for toys.
Beyond simple- I just found this ocean blue decorative duct tape at the store in the hardware section for $1.
A few wraps around & some strips across the top of the lid. Done!!
They can wrap their headbands around the outside & the color of the tape matches the bathroom decor colors- nothing obnoxious. 🙂
I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to have a little less mental clutter by having things tidy in there.
Don’t forget to come back & join me on Mondays for Project 52
