School Lunch Organization Station

Once both of my kids started elementary school, and I needed to make two lunches every day, I realized I needed to come up with some sort of system of organization.
Before, I would struggle each night trying to figure out what I could scrape together to give to my son for lunch the next day. It was always stressful.
In order to reduce some of the stress of lunchmaking, I realized I needed to get everything done ahead of time. But, how and where would I do that?
I came up with a good school lunch organization station and now I'll share my lunchmaking tips with you.

I came up with a good school lunch organization station and now I'll share my lunchmaking tips with you.
First, I bought some hanging shoe organizers and hung them up in our laundry room. I got one for each kid.
I use a cube organizer for storage and a workstation. I also hung a whiteboard behind it to keep track of the lunches for each day.
Each Sunday, I get the lunches ready for the week. All of the non-refrigerated items in the shoe rack (by day).
Overall, this lunch organization system seems to be working out well. This is now the fourth year I have been doing it.
