Thank you to Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery for sponsoring today’s post on Back to School Organization – Back to Routine.
Hi friends! We’re taking a different turn on “Back to School” today and we’re talking about organization! I don’t know about you, but Back to School for the kiddos means “Back to Routine” for me! Whether you’re a stay at home mom or a working mom, things just work more smoothly if you work out a routine for getting the kids clothed, food made, to get you out the door on time in the morning. And that means ORGANIZATION. Big time, right? Well today I’m going to share how easy it was to get us organized this year with Martha Stewart Home Office with Avery!
Martha Stewart’s Home Office line has everything you need to keep your home office, or really any space in your home organized – and in a stylish way. Would we expect anything less? Filing systems and binders, planners and calendars, message boards and stack + fit desk accessories and more!
Now this gorgeous line of products would look great in your home office or craft room (oh yah!), but I know for us our kitchen and garage entryway are really our home “hub”, where all the action happens, where all the stuff ends up. So I knew that’s where some of these stylish organizers just had to go! I added an area in our kitchen with a chalkboard for our weekly menu and a stack + fit desk organizer for a small coupon folio, a lovely notebook and planner. I’ve really enjoyed having these items I use regularly out and accessible, not stuffed away in a drawer!
Next I added a lovely Flourish Cork Message Board to the side of our refrigerator. Ahhh. Can you hear my sigh of relief to having this area clean and organized? I always feel better when it is clear, but I do have to admit it was littered with magnets and papers. I have now moved my son’s precious school artwork to our new Kids School Art Display and now this area is for important pictures, notes and information only! I love this board!
Next up? Incoming mail. It’s an issue! We’ve finally worked out a system for shredding what’s not needed, but we needed a place for us to save important mail until it could be filed away in the office. Bills that need to be paid or other items that needed action. This wall folio is PERFECT. Right in our entryway. Right where our keys and my purse gets dropped. Perfect. Honestly, I think this is my husband’s favorite addition to the area.
And last, but not least – school papers. Last year was our first year in the school routine and I have to say I was shocked by the number of papers we had to keep up with! Artwork and messages from the teacher, the school, the district! I needed a place to empty my son’s backpack for us to have easy access to. I added a little stack + fit tray next to his backpack that works so nicely! By the way isn’t his little toddler backpack adorable? We custom ordered it from Embrie & James.

I love how you showed the Martha products being used throughout your home, instead of just one place!! I have to admit, I laughed when I saw “rot chicken”, but I know what you meant 🙂
Oh my Ashton! I didn’t even notice that, thank you photoshop for letting me correct! 😉 And thanks! We really did use a bunch of the organizational supplies around our home, not just the office! I think they’re stylish enough (and you can find just the right color too) to match your decor AND keep things together!
oh i’m so excited about 40% off! time to go stock up, love that folder you have hanging on the wall!
Yes Andrea! So many fun goodies on sale right now! 😉
I love the turquoise color. I have the notebook and love it!
I just was at Staples Wednesday afternoon buying some of the same things you have. I love the Martha Stewart line! Love the variety of places that you used them in. Backpack is adorable!!
I love the board on the side of fridge. Is the perfect idea to keep all little notes and doodads in an organized way!
