As a busy parent I was constantly overwhelmed with the amount of school papers my children came home with. Dittos, art projects, quizzes, spelling words, and progress reports all contributed to one big mess. I tried my best. I displayed their work on the refrigerator, in frames, on coffee tables, and basically any other available spot in our home.

After a few weeks (or months) I would stuff their creations in storage bins for safe keeping. My attic, under the bed boxes, closets, and garage all became one big recycling center for school papers. Soccer practice, dance class, baseball, gymnastics, and even my own "full time" job always seemed to get in the way of finding time to neatly organize the kids schoolwork. Something had to change!
