Teaching Children to be Self-Sufficient
Teaching children to be self-sufficient fosters homeschool organization several ways. It teaches them time management and personal organization skills. The more time we spend telling our (older) children what to do next, the less time we spend helping them understand the Pythagorean Theorem (don’t worry, teacher’s books help!). The more time we spend putting thingsContinueContinue reading “Teaching Children to be Self-Sufficient”
It’s a Mouse Pad, It’s a Calendar, It’s a To-Do List, It’s . . .
A three-in-one wonder! This is my latest organization tool and I LOVE it. I ordered a pad (each one has over 100 sheets) from Current.com. I needed a mouse pad because my mouse doesn’t work on my glass desktop (or wood, or plastic, or many other surfaces). Check. I needed a scribble pad for allContinueContinue reading “It’s a Mouse Pad, It’s a Calendar, It’s a To-Do List, It’s . . .”

Motivating Kids to Organize – Guest Post & GIVEAWAY

Many of the organizing techniques I use with my clients haveContinueContinue reading “Motivating Kids to Organize – Guest Post & GIVEAWAY”
New Bookshelf
I finally did it. I went to Ikea (not a hardship!) and bought an Expedit bookcase for my office/school area. It’s 4 cubes by 4 cubes square and double sided, i.e., it’s wide enough to put a row of books in from each side (but mine is not that full yet). Of course, as youContinueContinue reading “New Bookshelf”
