NOW AVAILABLE!! One of the hard things many of you have been called to do in this current season is to homeschool or to school your kids at home. Some of you may remember, but many of you do not know, that I homeschooled my own children for 14 years.

Top Uses for Post-it Flags and Tabs
I can’t believe that I have never written about one of my favorite organization tools. They’re little, but they’re so cute and so versatile. What are they: mini, sticky tabs and flags! A Post-it by any other name is just as sweet (no, this is not a commercial). It usually works just as well, too.ContinueContinue reading “Top Uses for Post-it Flags and Tabs”
Collecting for College
This coming fall (gulp!!), my older daughter heads away to a 4-year college. You’d think I’d be used to the idea because this is what we homeschoolers work towards for 12 years, right? Well, my heart is not ready for her to go away, but I’ve already started getting her stuff ready to leave theContinueContinue reading “Collecting for College”
How to Prettify Plain, Cardboard Magazine Holders
I’m cheap. (Really, Mum, even though I know you don’t believe it!) So when I needed magazine holders, I went to Ikea and bought the 5-pack of cheap, flat (to assemble), white, cardboard file holders. Sorry I can’t remember how much they cost, but 5 were way cheaper than 1 of the expensive, brand-name onesContinueContinue reading “How to Prettify Plain, Cardboard Magazine Holders”
Bookshelf Reorganization
I’ve been rearranging. Yes, again. It’s been a while since I showed you my Expedit bookshelf, so I thought it was time for an update. I believe it’s in its fourth different room since coming to live with me. It doesn’t seem to mind, though, and it’s actually fairly easy to move–after removing allContinueContinue reading “Bookshelf Reorganization”
Science Stuff Storage
Everyone, well almost everyone, loves fun science experiments. But in order to do those fun science experiments, we need supplies. Weird supplies like 3 balloons, 2 bendy straws, and 1 small rock. After a while of buying bags of 50 balloons and ordering that 1 chemical from Home Science Tools, we’ve got science experiment stuffContinueContinue reading “Science Stuff Storage”
The Family Calendar
How do you coordinate a busy family’s schedule when everyone seems to be going different directions at the same time? The most efficient way I have found to deal with mine and my teenagers’ ever-changing, full-to-the-brim schedules is to have a large, dry-erase calendar in a central location–ours is in the kitchen, on the pantryContinueContinue reading “The Family Calendar”
It’s Calendar Time!
Have you bought your 2013 calendar yet? If not, stop reading this blog post. Go buy a wall calendar, a purse calendar, a desk calendar, a family fridge calendar, refills for your Day Timer, whatever you use. Right now! Yes, really! Then come straight back. Now are you ready? First, make sure you have yourContinueContinue reading “It’s Calendar Time!”
Be In Style: Say Thank You
Is it just me, or are thank you notes (the paper kind you hold in your hand) becoming obsolete? Are they following the dwindling number of friendly letters and Christmas letters and cards that used to stuff our mailboxes? Well, my mum (she’s Canadian, but I thought the southern phrase more apropos for the title)ContinueContinue reading “Be In Style: Say Thank You”
