Happy Monday friends! As the school year is starting to wind down (woot woot!) I am beginning to think about our summer plans. Obviously one of the nicest things about summer is NOT having a schedule, but I’ve found over the years that our summers are the most enjoyable when mom stays sane. :) In order for that to happen there needs to be a bit of planning and organization on my part. Last summer I shared my SIX TIPS FOR A SMOOTHER SUMMER. I just read that post again to help me get on track this year. It was so helpful as a reminder to me that I thought I’d share it again with all of you. Hoping it helps you stay sane this summer too!
Enjoy your week!
xoxo, Erin
This post was full of good ideas! Thanks for sharing again. But oh my gosh, I just love the school year albums! I really need to do this. I am not a scrapbooker and usually just order a yearly family album from Shutterfly and then also do individual albums for vacations. But I really need to do a binder with the school work, photos, and highlights from the kids. Instead of just having them stored in an accordion folder that no one is going to look at. Brilliant!!
Since I have a 1st grader and a preschooler, now I just have to decide where I want to go back and start. Preschool? Or Kindergarten? :)
Thank you Sarah! I know. I love the school year albums! I need to make time for them this year for sure. So hard to know where to start when you’re behind. I’m SO behind right now. I always just start with the current year and figure I’ll go back if I have time.. but it’s easier for me to start fresh!
Hi Erin,
This may seem like an odd question, but what program do you use to make that collage of photos?
Thanks :)
I use Picasa! But I’ve heard Pic Monkey is super easy to use too!
I love your divided tray with the dip section in the middle! Where did you get it? I have been looking everywhere for one just like it. Thanks!
Thanks Betsy! I found it at my local grocery store of all places! Random I know. Sorry I’m not more help!
Thanks for always reminding me to get and stay organized! I love the whole process but sometimes my ideas are a little stale and your site is a great place to come to find inspiration.
That means a lot Becky! Thank you! So glad you find my blog helpful! xo
I sure hope that you are OK and are just busy! Miss seeing your posts!
I’m good Heather! Just end of school year madness. :) Thank you! xo
