Baby Steps to Getting Organized for the New School Year

Even though I don’t have school-aged kids at home any more, the “back to school” season always inspired a fit of organization mentality for me. I remember fondly those lists of supplies (many of which found their way back home unused at the end of the year) and the rush of morning routines as we settled back into a schedule after a summer of unwinding.

So when “Just Solutions” approached me to take a look at a few organizing products, I was happy to oblige. Two of them, featured here, seem like great options for families on-the-run on busy back to school mornings. Please note that I received these products as a complimentary gift in exchange for my honest review.

Hang It – Closet Jewelry Organizer

I don’t have daughters, but if I did this product would be near the top of my wish list. Brightly colored and slim in size, this hanging jewelry organizer is perfect for not only bracelets and necklaces, but also for earrings, pins, and other wearable school accessories. I’ve gone the “jewelry box/black hole” approach in the past, but now with this hanging organizer I can actually find the accent items I’m looking for! Since it comes in a variety of colors, you might call this one an “accessory organizer” and order it in a neutral color.

Stretch Laces

Is putting on shoes a source of stress on an average school day? Then check out “Stretch Laces” to take some of the pain out of getting out the door in the morning. The work like a charm and come in a variety of brightly colored three packs in both casual and dressy styles. I found these to be a great tool for getting through the airport line at security quickly. They’re also perfect for some of today’s more casual types of shoes that beg for an “untied” type of look. Those family members who hate tying shoes will thank you!

If you’re looking for other ways to get organized around your home, definitely check out the JustSolutions website for a variety of affordably priced accessories and ideas.
