About Me
- Alexandra
- A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.

Making Things Just a Bit Easier
With homeschool P.E., weekly field trips, household chores, and outings I've not thought of this very simple way to make my scattered life a little bit easier! For some time now I've given my son blank notebooks for each of his school subjects, and it's always a pain to gather them up in the afternoon for review. So today I was questioning why we do this. Why not have him place all his answers in one book?
Tomorrow things will be much easier. All his answers will go into one notebook with dates and headings. Sometimes the obvious slips by me. Now I can take just one notebook to my favorite chair, and zip through all the teacher's copies to check his answers. It will be more time efficient for my son, and cut down on clutter in our homeschool curriculum area. When you have two children who tend to spread themselves and their possessions out over a wide radius, less is more.

The "obvious" also slips by me sometimes. My husband is always saying that I make things too difficult and most of the time he is right. Thanks for sharing.

We get so busy it's easy to lose sight! :)
