Command Center plus Organizing my desk

At our old home, our Command Center was simple.  It is because we only had one floor.  Here we have 4 stories.  I have my command center with my desk in our bedroom.  

We first got the desk for me.  I realized that I needed to do something about our appointments.  Having the dry erase calendar downstairs was not working for me.  I needed them upstairs, too.  I do all of my calling for appointments from my desk.  I use my laptop at my desk, too.  So, when I add appointments to Cozi.  

I brought dry erase calendars and corkboards.  I have 2 dry erase calendars so I can see this month and the following month.  I actually brought the second one for our dining room, but decided this was better for us.   I have 4 corkboards, which is the top row.  The first one is Ashleigh's.  The second one is Noah's.  The third one is Ethan's.  The last one is my.  I have whatever paper from school on the kids' corkboard.  I had to have a way to organize all of the papers coming from school.  I have the paprts that I look at regularly like lunch menus, Ashleigh's schedule for gym, etc.  Noah's school has so much that I need to know so I had to have those papers displayed.

On the bottom row, I have 2 dry erase boards on the right side.  I also have a small dry erase board on the top row and the bottom row.

Since I did this, I organize this mesh organizer.  Plus I put folders into blue magnetic folder.  I love that this is all organized now.  (The penguin Ashleigh made in camp).

I do not have a dry erase board downstairs, but I print out the calendar from Cozi once I add all of our appointments.

Do you have a Command Center?  Share in the comments.  I would love to hear about it.
