It’s beginning to look a lot like…back to school?!
Well, maybe for the rest of the country but we don’t actually start school in our house until mid September (after we get back from the beach). With two ADHD school aged kids gearing up and starting homeschool just to turn around and go on vacation for two weeks just sets us up for failure when we get home. It’s much less headache for everyone if we just push it back until our heads are in the game…or…books. Whatever.
However, that doesn’t mean our household is totally school free right now. Yes, I’ve been hitting the back to school sales, planning unit studies and creating worksheets. But I’ve also been trying very hard to get our record keeping organized. It was so much easier with one school aged kid to just download some stuff to the computer, send it to a specific folder and forget about it until next year. This year, my anxiety is getting the best of me and I would just feel so much better if I had a better system since I’ll be in charge of TWO school aged kids this time around.
Enter: the binder.
I love binders. I love the way the crisp, clean pages look and smell and feel. I love hole punching and lining up pages. It makes me feel like I’m doing something productive. For this project, binders hit all my marks. Now onto the details.
