Children are dumping their school papers who knows where now that they are out of school, or soon to be. What to do? Buy a binder and put in page protectors. Insert school work that is just so wonderful that 30 years from now you’ll still enjoy reading the report or looking at the artwork. Most of it should be dumped. I’ve had four children and came to realize with the passage of time, that the most precious keepsakes were ones that expressed their personality.
If you keep too much, you value it less. Editing is really important.
If you have a question and would like to ask an experienced organized mom who works with lots of clients just like you, email me at nancy@createthespace.com.
Now that both of my kids are out of elementary school. I’m sorting and pitching before middle school starts. I agree with you completely.
My question is: Is there a 12×18 page protector for the larger size elem art pages? I had hoped to put all the art and papers in page protectors so we could pull them out and enjoy them, but I don’t want to fold the cool art pieces. Do you also know if there is a binder that is 12×18? Where could I get one or two?
Thanks for the advice,
M
