Phew. I got our curriculum page updated with our next year’s curriculum choices. Now, to just plan it. Thankfully, most of what we use are what I’ve heard called, “Do the next thing” curricula. So I don’t actually have to do a lot of planning. Scheduling is probably a more accurate description. I’ve been using …
I’ve written about organizing homeschool supplies before, but I have found that it’s never a finished job. As our family gets older, our needs change. I still stick to the principles that I outlined, but I’ve made some different applications. No Homeschool Room? We don’t have a specific room for homeschooling. It’s not that I wouldn’t like …
As much as I’ve been trying to ignore it, Christmas is coming. I’ve tried putting my fingers in my ears, closing my eyes and humming, but it hasn’t worked. I am going to have to get started on Christmas shopping. Perhaps even harder for me is coming up with ideas to give to others about …
I love high-tech gadgets. If I had more disposable income I’m sure I’d have more gadgets. (Can you say i-phone?) My laptop is my fairly constant companion these days, and I really don’t know how I managed without it. I love making color-coded chore charts and schedules on the computer.

It looks like another week has passed. I did fairly well on last week’s list. I’m carrying over a couple of items to this week’s list. Write review of Studypod. Iron ALL the clothes waiting in the ironing line! Organize computer files. Set up shared folders for network. Mount wall lights in kids’ rooms. Do …
It looks like I’ve missed a week (or maybe 2) for To-Do Tuesday. I have found it really helpful making a list for everyone to see. I makes me feel more accountable to actually complete the items on my list! So, here’s this week’s list. Read Sue Patrick’s Workbox System and decide how to implement. …
I did much better this week! Here’s last week’s list with everything I did checked off. Now for this week: Complete school planning for new year. I checked this, but it really shouldn’t say for the YEAR. We’ve started school and I have some planning to do as we go along. Organize new bookshelf …
This week I am going to post first a nicely checked list of the things that I can check off my list from last week. Then, I am posting a list of what I actually intend to get done this week. What I’ve finished: Purchase new book shelf. Complete chore plan for upcoming year. Write …
I have NOT made good progress on my list this week. I got some of my items finished, but some of them took a little more time than they should have. Clean out fishpond and stock with new fish. Can you tell, I REALLY don’t want to do this one? Finish weeding all the flower …
I missed last week because I was on vacation. Here are my updates for this week’s To-do Tuesday. I’ve deleted items that were complete last time. I’m also going to add a few more. Clean out fishpond and stock with new fish. Finish weeding all the flower beds. Paint the living room. Decide on paint. …
