[quote=Anonymous]I'll give a few tips.  I wouldn't call them hacks.

Labeled Snack drawers - 3 sets of two stacked plastic drawers in one of the lower cabinets; makes it easy for my son to pack his snacks for the day and for lunch and helps me easily see what and when to reorder

Auto Delivery for home essentials including some snacks.  - Big time saver.  I don't think about TP, protien bars, or paper towels.  Whenever we are running low they magically appear in the mail.

Take pictures of important items.  I may not always have the paper or card with me but I always have my phone.  It has saved me many times.

Clear plastic refrigerator bins - these really help organize. Before I would be buying things I already had b/c I couldn't easily locate them.

Backpack goes on a hook in the hall closet. We always know where it is.  Library books go in a specific bin in son's room so we are not always searching for them.

$10-$20 in the kid's backpack.  You new know when one of you will need it.

Extra school supplies at home. We have it all, colored pencils, crayons, sharpies, large cardboard, pens, pencils, trifolds.  You never know when your kid is going to remember something at the last minute. It is great to have those things handy.

Birthday cards and gift bags at home. Get them cheap in bulk on Amazon.  That way I only need to grab a gift.  the rest is ready to go. Kid do not care about cards or gift bags.

Always have gift cards on hand, just in case you need a quick gift. [/quote]
