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”
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.

Staying Organized on the Go: Library Books
I have yet to meet a homeschooler who didn’t love the library. And I have yet to meet a homeschooler who hasn’t contributed enough fine money to have a new wing named after her. It’s even happened to us on more than one occasion. So, what’s the solution to this conundrum? At first, I’m inclinedContinueContinue reading “Staying Organized on the Go: Library Books”
Blog Posts Organized the Simple Way
It happened again. You had a great idea for a blog post, so you scrawled it on a sticky note. The toddler found it and colored over it, then the teenager helpfully threw it out. Or, you managed to remember the idea long enough to put it at the bottom of a messy list buriedContinueContinue reading “Blog Posts Organized the Simple Way”

A New Way to Use To-Do Lists
