“F” is for Family Homework Stations & Giveaway

April 11, 2014

Family homework stations and command center with Staples home office products:
Do your kids do their homework in different areas of your home?
If they are anything like my kids then you have one sitting in the kitchen, one at the dining room table, one in the family room and maybe one in their bedroom.  
And chances are they will have papers and notes that need attention.
And they will need supplies: pencil, pen, eraser, tape, stapler, paper, ruler, etc.
And you need one central location to put all this stuff.

Enter Staples home office products and the mesh file cart:
Now each of my kids has their own designated homework station where they can keep everything they need easily at their fingertips anywhere they decide to do their homework.
PS – Assembly was a breeze, no tools required!
And when the portable homework stations are not in use we roll them right into the front closet:
To complete our family homework stations I added a dry erase whiteboard and cork bulletin hanging bar on the inside of the pantry door:
This keeps the weekly schedule visible for everyone and we can hang important notes like the lunch menu, reading logs and weekly spelling words to review.

Just below the dry erase whiteboard I attached a clear storage bin to hold all the dry erase markers and eraser.  The clear bin lets us see all the yummy color options!
Now it’s your turn.  Could your home office or family workstation use a quick makeover?

The kind folks at Staples have generously offered to giveaway one home office item selected from the links below up to a $100 value:
– file cabinets
– desks
– chairs
How great is that?  
One lucky US based reader will get to choose one home office item valued up to $100.  The giveaway is open until Monday, April 14th at 7am after which a winner will be announced.
a Rafflecopter giveaway

    Our office space was taken away–we took out a wall. So, our office is currently spread out through the house. Some organization would be nice.
