During the summer months and the kids are off from school and wreaking havoc, it’s usually a good time to get my office organized. I usually have to do a complete cleanup and reorganization every season.

Papers keep piling up, office supplies get low or stolen from my kids. So it’s a good time to take inventory and make my way through the mess.

A visit to Staples was in order! The lovely people at Staples generously gave me the opportunity to stock up on some much-needed office supplies.

The essentials? Paper clips, binder clips, binders and file folders were at the top of my list. Also, expandable folders and storage boxes. My favourite thing to shop for? Notebooks and pens.

Then I saw the Martha Stewart Avery line. The turquoise blue colours were just screaming, “take me home.” So pretty. I particularly loved the notebooks and this cute corkboard, which would be perfect for my home office.

The colours and detailing of these office supplies are pleasing to the eye and give your office a personalized feel. The Dry Erase Decals from Martha Stewart  Home Office with Avery are brilliant. Stylish and practical, I could post the calendar and several of the plain decals for jotting down important notes on my wall.

Now if only I could keep my office looking pristine all the time!
