They fit my jackets perfectly and even hold up a spaghetti strap. Tip #2 Hanging things in groups will help when choosing clothing. Try hanging short sleeves, then long sleeves, then jackets.

Very quickly we have come to Australia Day and school starts next week. If you apply my new school year checklist you'll feel organised and ready for the first day of term. Pack lunches as much as possible in advance. Consider getting sets of small containers and prefilling with school snacks that are ready-to-go in the pantry and/or the fridge.
