Organising School Uniforms



Hey Guys!

When it comes to storing and sorting the kid's school uniforms, it seems we have FINALLY found what works for us!

For those who don't know, we have 4 kiddos and my mum works at the kid's school as well, so her uniforms are also stored with the kid's uniforms. 
Right next to my desk in the kid's playroom (pretty much only has Lego in it at the moment) we have a clothes rack. The only things that get put on the rack is school uniforms, shoes, the hair box (this keeps all the brushes, hair ties, head bands, etc. together in one place) and school socks. 

So here is an overview of what the uniform rack looks like and then I will talk about the sections.


We'll talk about hanging the uniforms first!
Each person has their own colour coat hanger to make it easier for them to recognise which uniforms are theirs. 

BB has pink.
Knox has blue.
TJ has purple.
Liss has white. 
Mum has black. 

Yes, they are all mixed up at this point, however, it is school holidays here and organising these is not a priority at this point :) 
The pants/skirts are all on silver hangers and they are all mixed up right now, but before school goes back for 2nd term, we will organise it better so the uniforms are grouped together. 
The spare pants hangers are kept up the top and out of the way as they get really annoying trying to get out of where the clothes are hung.

Their school shoes live down the bottom of the rack and get put there as soon as they get home from school. 


This is where all the kid's school socks are stored. 
Each child has their own basket for their school socks (ONLY) and their school hats. 
I took a chance this year only having 3 pairs of school socks for each child (last year we had a lot more than 3 pairs for each child and it drove me up the wall!), but this is actually working! I think this has been helped by me actually keeping up with the washing all year - YAY ME!) My son's futsal socks are also in here so they are easily found when needed.


Here is where all the hair stuff is kept. 
These are my favourite organisation/storage containers. These are the Sistema Klip-It containers with the tray insert included. We have several of these around the house to store various things, like Knox's BeyBlades.
Basically anything to do with hair goes in here. In the bottom we have head bands and the hair clippers my husband uses to shave his and our son's hair. While the tray holds all the hair ties (school colours and other colours), the hair brush, lice comb (I go through their hair regularly to make sure nothing got in there), bobby pins, etc. The purple spray bottle is the detangler spray for the girl's hair. 

So there you have it!
This is the way we organise our kid's school uniforms and it has worked so well for us! 

How do you store your kiddo's school uniforms?

Thanks for reading!

Our Family Morning Routine

So, since this is the very first blog post, I thought we could start with our regular school term morning routine.  Our Morning Routine Our mornings get really busy and tend to go real fast due to the fact that we are a one car family and I have to take my husband to work every day. We are fortunate in that we also live with my mum so I do not have to get all the kids up and bring them with me.  So my day starts at 6am, when my alarm goes off and I keep pressing the snooze button until 6:30am mainly due to the fact that I am NOT a morning person. As soon as I do get up it is time to wake up the babies! First up, my 8 year old son. He usually wakes up pretty easily and I don't have to keep going back to get him out of bed. He is also the one who, when he feels helpful, gets the bowls out for breakfast along with the cereal.  Next is my 7 year old daughter. She can be a little tough to get up some mornings, but generally speaking she gets up within a few minutes of ...

Our Evening Routine

Hey everyone! So last week was our morning routine, this week is our evening routine! I will go from after school pick up because, like our morning routine, our evenings do tend to go fast as well. So after school, they have a small snack like a few Shapes biccies or some yoghurt or cheese depending on whether they had any dairy snacks in their lunch boxes that day. I do try to cook dinner or at least prep it (chop veggies etc.) before I go get the kids from school to make it easier on us during homework time. The kids have a bit of a run around after they eat to burn some energy off before they get their homework out. We have a fairly big backyard so there is plenty of space for them all to play. A favourite game of theirs lately, is Ninja Warrior. So they use things like the trees and the swing set and the trampoline and most important, their imaginations. After they have had about 15 to 20 minutes outside, they come in, have a drink of water and get their homework done. For...
