Clutter Busters: Paper Management 101

Under bed containers are great. The whole family is in an artsy way. Once a month the Fridge and the posting wall (literally a wall of artwork) gets de-papered after we take pictures of it and the coolest and most awesome artwork gets stored in the plastic under bed container. At the end of the year we sit all together and make portfolios of that year. Normally we also pull out previous years portfolios and remember and have a good ole time.

Great Ideas! I've go papers on the fridge, on my counter top, on the kitchen table, on the computer desk, under my 10 year olds bed, and for some reason the bathroom. Lord help me.

We live in an area that frequently has hurricanes and I have a plastic storage container with all important documents and keepsakes. When we have to evacuate it is easy to grab and go and I always know when to find these documents.

We keep all important papers such as passports, birth certificates, the kids fingerprints we had done at a county fair, shot records, etc... in a fire safe lock box. Only my husband and myself have the keys, with one spare given to my Mom.
Being we were a military family at one point in our lives we weren't allowed to keep everything the kids brought home from schoool so at the end of each school year we sorted through it all and let them keep a few things they seemed to be attached to or had special meaning to them. Now, years later they love the memories it all brings to them.
