I've recently embarked on the journey of homeschooling my daughter...again. After a few weeks in Middle School, she decided that it just wasn't for her. I'm a single mom, I work several odd jobs, and am currently studying for my real estate exam. You would think homeschooling in and of itself would be overwhelming, but if anything I find that it has helped me to become more organized, thus keeping my sanity.
Confession: I am addicted to office supplies. Washi tape. I mean, what is the genius that came up with that stuff? It's wonderful. Not only is it pretty, it is so versatile. It does everything from decorating to crafting to labeling my otherwise not-so-pretty notes. Also, I feel that there must be something going on with my abundance of binders, but I'm not sure what that is all about yet. I'll be sure to update as soon as they find their purpose.
Back to homeschool. I have created a mixed curriculum for my daughter. We are utilizing Abeka books, as well as many other materials that we have picked up here and there at yard sales and Goodwill. I'm absolutely in awe of the plethora of curriculum pre-built for us on the internet, as well. My daughter is an art fool and we recently discovered CurkovicArtUnits which have already prepared the curriculum along with videos. My daughter is digging it and honestly, I'm quite the fan of anything already prepped and ready to go. We make modifications when necessary, but so far, things are going quite smoothly.
Anywho, the ramblings were necessary in order to properly procrastinate the continuance of studying, organizing, filing, prepping, and babysitting the 5 kids that are running around my house. Wish me luck! I'll include pictures of what's going on in our homeschool and organization techniques next time!
