It's been awhile. As usual, I'd been a busy girl over the summer with the family as well as writing (hop over to Té Russ Novels and check out what I've been up to!).
This week the kids went back to school! I now have a senior in high school, a fourth grader (her last year in elementary) and a kindergartner. It's interesting having to adjust to spending the entire day at home with just me and the dog. The silence is...crazy. Lol...appreciated, mind you. But it's still taking some getting used to.
Anywhoo...As you saw from my closet makeover, I've been on a Pinterest kick. This time I was looking for things to help the kids get more organized. In my search I stumbled across many different pins that included a family command central station. This is basically where all things like homework, important papers and schedules go. So I created my own Russ Command Central Station!
I didn't take any up close photos, but I have some wall art above the calendar, which is filled with the little ones soccer practices (yes, they are in soccer. I'm officially a soccer mom!). The small dry erase board next to the the calendar has a scripture of the day on it. The file bin has folders for each kids important papers, or homework through the week. I also put hooks at the bottom for each of them. I plan on going back and painting the R at some point.
Another little project I did which was inspired by Pinterest was a homework station.
This is just a little something for the kids when they get home from school so they won't have to look all over the place for items they need! I also went and bought some pens and added them.
But that's about it! I'm sure I will be finding some new project to do. I have some lunch ideas that I haven't tried yet. I will probably do those next week and post them :-)
Until next time though....
Later Gators!
