Organizing all your Kid's Stuff

I never realized how much stuff one child can accumulate. Zachary is only 19 months and already has a ton of paperwork. From health records, to all his check-up information as a baby to a ton of "art projects' that he makes at school. I was trying to figure out how to get all this stuff organized in one place. I tried a few different ideas, but none of them really worked for me.

 

I was inspired by this PIN on Pinterest and immediately got started!

 

All I had to purchase was a Plastic File Box and Hanging File folders. My total at Office Depot was under $30 because these two items were on sale.

I decided to hand write all of the tabs because I don't know if I will use them all as written. So if I end up having to switch out a tab, it will be easily done.

And I was too lazy to print out pretty labels.

The whole project took me about 40 minutes. It took this long because I wrote out all the labels and cut out Zachary's name from a large shipping label that I had printed it on. I've started putting all of Zach's paperwork into this file and so far I am LOVING this!
