Thought of the Day

 

Woodjie's "what I'd do if I got $100" essay.

"People just need to reassess their priorities. Buying cheaper cuts of meat and slow cooking a casserole isn't as much fun as eating out, and washing the dishes isn't as much fun as seeing them whisked away by a waiter, but it can be done and there is no shame in it."  - River, on frugal living.  She's worth a visit.

Homeschool Organization

I just bought these binders for Woodjie and Rose.  I can pop the day's worksheets into their folders.  The children decided where they wanted their tabs, and Rose has already decorated her binder.  It seems every year we have to come up with some new system.  This will keep five subjects organized - the others are either not workbook-related or are the subjects in which we use LIFEPACs.
