Space Saving Ideas for Kids Room When baby boy ar Space Saving Ideas for Kids Room

When baby boy arrived I knew bunk beds would be a great option. When he’s a little older, both boys will share the room. I’ve simplified their room and found ways to save space so it doesn’t look cluttered. I use under bed storage bins for toys and extra blankets. The 6 tier rolling cart is perfect for papers and art supplies. We limit toys in this house so this medium size basket is perfect. Also love adding these bins on the self for small toys.

We’re soaking up the last bits of summer break. Our summer was filled with pool days, water parks, popsicles and riding our bikes outside in the sun. We made so many memories this summer. I’ll miss the relaxing days and staying up late. Our school year starts on Monday and I’m excited to get back into our routine. 

Cheers to all the memories we made this summer!

Here’s a simple summer treat recipe and activity inspired by @motherscookiesus Sparkling Strawberry Mythical Creatures Cookies. These strawberry parfaits were delicious and topped with our favorite strawberry-flavored red and lavender frosted cookies! Then we took our strawberry treats outside and the kids painted strawberries on their new clay pots. 🍓☀️

I love the flexibility of being able to homeschool in different places. Usually 2-3 times per week we are homeschooling at the library, museums, and with a co-op! So that’s means I need the school supplies packed and ready to go. I’ve had Lands End backpacks and lunch bags for my kids for several years. The quality is 10/10! Also excited for my son to use the his new Blue Sky academic planner that’s specifically for elementary age kids.

6 Organization Tips for the Busy Mom

This post may contain affiliate links. If you click through and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Are you a busy mom that needs some organization tips? Busy moms need practical tools to stay organized. I am a work- from-home mom with two children and a long list of daily tasks. I’ve realized that when I’m unorganized, I feel stressed, anxious, and life is chaotic. Most busy moms can relate to just needing practical tools to implement into their daily life to help stay organized. One of the easiest ways that I’ve been able to get organized is by writing things down. As a busy mom, if I don’t write things down, I’ll probably forget about them. I recently found a practical tool to help me stay organized. The VersaTiles by Boogie Board has been a tool that I need in my home to help me stay on top of all my tasks. Here’s how I implement the VersaTiles into my daily routine with 6 organization tips for the busy moms:

1.Wake up Early

I love to start my days with waking up before my kids because I feel refreshed when I start my days early with planning and getting organized. I also like to write out positive affirmations on my VersaTiles. Some of my favorite affirmations to write out are: I am a good mom, I am organized, I will have a productive day. I can easily change up my affirmations every morning with my VersaTiles. If you’re a busy mom that struggles with waking up early check out my blog post on 10 Morning Routine Habits. 

2.Top Priority Tasks

I’ve been using my VersaTiles memo board to write down my top 3 tasks for the day. As a busy mom, our days can get very hectic with all the responsibilities. However, I don’t feel as overwhelmed when I see my top 3 tasks for the day. This also allows me to put more of a focus on what’s most important to accomplish for the day.

3.Meal Prep

Meal prepping is a task that has helped save me so much time and helped me stay organized. Breakfast time, lunch time, and dinner time can get a little hectic especially when I’m not organized. I write down the meals for the day on my VersaTiles so my family doesn’t have to ask me. My husband can easily see what’s on the menu and he can start preparing dinner on the days when I’m busy. Having the menu written out for breakfast, lunch and dinner has been so helpful. 

4.Delegate Tasks to Kids

I’ve used the VersaTiles to write down tasks for my kids. My daughter has really enjoyed this because I allow her to put a checkmark next to the tasks she completes. This helps me because I don’t have to do all the tasks around the house. It also helps my daughter take on more responsibilities.

5.Hire Help

As a busy mom, I’ve realized that sometimes hiring help is best. Specifically, I have a cleaning crew that comes to our house about 1-2x a month to deep clean my house. I typically write on my VersaTiles the days the cleaning crew will come to our house so that my husband will also know. As a busy mom, it’s important to communicate with your household and I’ve found it to be easy to communicate through writing on one of our VersaTiles located on the refrigerator door. 

6.Simplify and Declutter

Simplifying and decluttering is a process and it doesn’t happen overnight especially if you have a lot of stuff. I have found it to be easy to declutter one room at a time over the course of a week. For example, one week I will focus on donating and decluttering my daughter’s room. I’ll write on the VersaTiles the room that we are focused on for the week.


I hope these 6 organization tips for busy moms were helpful! The VersaTiles have been such a great practical tool for me to use to stay organized. The memo boards come in 4 different colors to choose from to coordinate with your own individual style. I love the onyx color for my kitchen and office space! I’ve been able to easily add these VersaTile memo boards to different rooms in my home from my home office, kids room, kitchen and my bedroom. It’s also really convenient that you don’t have to worry about batteries. That’s definitely a mom win! It’s such a sleek alternative to white boards, chalk boards, and notepads.
