Organization Tip of the Week

As a busy mom, occasionally we have to swing through a drive-through for a quick meal in appointments and evening activities. Eating in the car can be hard for kids to manage a drink, sandwich, and fries without making the backseat a total mess.I keep a couple of shoe boxes in the backseat for this purpose. They can lay a napkin on the bottom and it holds their food nicely in their own little tray. Spills of ketchup or crumbs remain in the box--not on my seats. I use plastic shoe boxes that I purchased specifically for this purpose. It is nice, since it can be easily wiped out when you are finished and reused.

Now that's a smart idea!

I've also learned that those little boxes can be great for safe-keeping library audio books that tend to slide under the seat, and you forget about them! :-)

Sarah, you are too kind.

I'm glad, ladies, you like the idea.

Yes, Mimi, shoeboxes come in handy for so many organizational tasks.
