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?" Thanks for the great idea!

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.

I've got an 18 mo old too and it's a constant battle to keep my cupboards closed. That's why I keep our homework box in the coat closet - it has a door and a handle that he can't turn...yet. Lol.

I just have an 18 month that opens all drawers and empties the contents. He also climbs unfortunately so I have not figured out how to keep things out of his reach. Any ideas? I love the idea.
