Each kid has one for their weekly assignments, worksheets, chores etc. They hang in our classroom to keep everyone on track. I have one too. It has weekly assignments, answer keys for easy grading, menu plan, lists and "to dos", etc. on it. Makes things so much easier!simplyjoyishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490749518973076127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927051355879788280.post-49225302785629243332012-03-14T01:17:27.979-04:002012-03-14T01:17:27.979-04:00Best home organizing tip came from my mom -- when ...Best home organizing tip came from my mom -- when you have a BIG organizing project that you just can't seem to tackle, set a timer for 15 minutes and just start. Do that 1-4 times a day and then move on. Before you know it the project will seem more manageable and you will be done.CrazyMomof4https://www.blogger.com/profile/08817227893015260597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927051355879788280.post-54835748198502008182012-03-13T15:57:40.875-04:002012-03-13T15:57:40.875-04:00My best organizational tip for homeschool is using...My best organizational tip for homeschool is using the workbox system and printing/copying anything we will need a week in advance and putting the papers in a pocket chart, labelled Monday-Friday for each child. It's a lot of work over the weekend, but it makes the school week flow so easily. For household stuff, I'm still in the process of getting organized, but I like labelled tubs, especially for the kids' stuff so they know where everything goes.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862163059927293977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927051355879788280.post-26141656795922122372012-03-13T14:18:56.012-04:002012-03-13T14:18:56.012-04:00Crock Pot Meals during the week cut back on stress...Crock Pot Meals during the week cut back on stress for during week dinners with all prep done the night before. <br /><br />Also with my 5 year old she cleans up her stuff as soon as she's done.Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05278671906195279994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927051355879788280.post-71625809708206388362012-03-13T12:03:00.371-04:002012-03-13T12:03:00.371-04:00Best tip is to put things away as you are finished...Best tip is to put things away as you are finished with them.

And then it works all of three days. So when I have an idea, I just sort of rag-tag it in the beginning, and if it involves, it likely has the Ugly in full effect. But!
