Hi these are great ideas too if you have a work locker too. I’m highly interested in the locker door organiser you have showing in the picture, but I can’t find it in any of the links. I’m assuming it’s under school locker link, but saying can’t find page. Are you able to advise where this idea came from..many thanks Jules O
Laurie
You can purchase it from Pottery Barn under the “How to organize your locker”. I love it too. Oh how I wish I had a daughter to make one for. {{wink}}
I have something for you in my blog
Laurie
Ave – Thank you so much for the award! It completely brightened my day.
Your new site looks awesome!! (I haven’t been by in a while apparently
)
Thanks Laurie, I can see it now. I don’t have a daughter neither, but I was thinking of making one for myself! Excellent idea!
lovely days are back.

The new school year has already started here! We have a 1st day of school tradition as well – CAKE! You can find it here: http://mamasamess.blogspot.com/2011/08/first-day-of-schoolagain.html This year is 4th grade….we’ve been doing it since kindergarten!
Hi Laurie! I am in the mix of creating an “organization station” similar to the picture that you posted above. The one with the clock and the bench. My daugther is entering the second grade plus I have a one year old son. I would just go crazy last year when Ui could not find the diaper bag or homework during the early mornings. I go back to work a week after school begins and I want to be stress free. I would love to post my creation after I have put it together.
Hi Laurie,
Could you please tell me where the bins came from on the organization station and how they were secured to the wall? I have been looking all over the internet for those and can’t find anything like it. Thanks!
Hi Laurie,
This year we will be growing pet TickleMe Plants. It will be sooo exciting to grow and watch how the leaves of the TickleMe Plant interact when Tickled.
See video..this is a win win activity for kids of all ages
