Back-to-school time can overwhelm and cause chaos for even the most organized families. These 10 products and ideas will help maintain order of the supplies, daily needs, routines, and paperwork.

1) Family Wall Calendar

This custom dry erase calendar will allow everyone to see the family schedule, and it’s so chic in design, you won’t mind hanging it in the center of your kitchen.

If you or your kid struggle with selecting their clothes in the morning, make everyone’s life easier with this hack from Mathnasium. Use a hanging organizer to store pre-selected outfits for each day of the week.

3) Heavy Hooks

I love an install that doesn’t require putting holes in the wall. These adhesive hooks hold up to 22 lbs and will adhere to most surfaces. Keep backpacks, water bottles, sports equipment, coats and more off the floor and in one, easy-to-find spot.

4) Car Organizer

Keep your car ready for drop-off and pickup with this over the seat organizer. Stuff it with snacks, drinks, extra pencils, sanitizer, hand wipes, or whatever tends to end up all over the floorboard.

5) Homework Station

This desk can be configured in four different ways to fit your space or accommodate more than one child.

6) Homework Caddy

If you don’t have space for a homework station, set up the needed supplies in a caddy that can be stored away when not in use.

7) Label Maker

Get your kids’ names on all their things, as well as organize school supplies by subject with this budget-friendly, highly-rated, bluetooth connecting label maker.

8) Artkive for Kid’s Artwork

If you have littles, you know they come home with stacks of artwork on a weekly basis. Artkive allows you to take a photo of the artwork and save it digitally in the app. From there you can order prints, share it with family, and keep a digital archive of their work.

9) Routine Chart

Establishing routines are essential and this wooden, custom routine chart allows you to create a checklist for your child and empowers your child to tick off their list.
