Love, love, love! Right now I use the drawers in my china hutch (in the dining/kitchen area) for their spelling lists, etc. ANd the cupboards under the hutch for paper, markers, pencils, etc. It’s all organized, but I’d love to use my hutch strictly for china and tablecloths and things like that. I’m trying to think of WHERE I could put this type of thing! Also, I’d like to use this for their work that they bring home. I keep EVERYTHING all year. (in the summer I go through the lot of it and only keep special things – good writing samples, awards, cute art projects, etc. – but it builds up to quite a mass during the year. I’d love to get that stuff out of my file drawer! hmmmmmmmmm. you’ve got me thinking! What about a “lingerie” type dresser (house is kind of rustic), or an end-table with drawers…… I just don’t have an out-of-the-way place to put it.

Thanks for the great idea! I had one “leftover” big drawer at the bottom and decided to use it for nutritious snacks. The kids know after school that they can get any 1-2 things out of the drawer without asking. So far it has been working perfect and it’s eliminated the “Mom can I have this? Mom can I have that?”

I have this exact tower of drawers and I use it about the same way that you do. I think I got the idea from you years ago in our PA days. However, I don’t use the big boxes for homework, yet (I think it will evolve to that once all my kids go to big school). My kids make about 50 drawings a day and can’t stand to part with any of their drawings, so I designated one box for each kiddo. At the end of the day they can stash their art treasures and then while they are away I throw them out and they are none the wiser.

Glad to have you back and posting more.
