My household binder

I have been working on putting together a household binder to keep all my home and homeschooling related papers in one place, easy to locate. So, here is what I have done so far.
I have divided a binder into sections to include:

a Household section which has things such as schedules for me, chore charts, planning forms, budget and printouts about keeping house, organizing etc ...

Homeschool section which has my school schedules and forms and everything school planning oriented.

Homework section which includes their school and non-school accomplishments and activities as well as their certificates.

I also have 2 separate sections. One with inspiring and encouraging printouts, goals etc... as a homemaker and wife, and one with thoughts and printouts on homeschooling.

My last section is for project paraphenelia like magnet sheets, laminating sheets, velcro strips etc...

It is still a work in process but this is what I have come up with so far.

In place of the sticker on there, I am planning to put a verse which I am still to decide on

All the sections are separated with a

All the papers are inserted in protector sheets

As this project gets perfected I will post more pictures (probably not in a few months, of course . . .)

I have not posted my daily household schedule because, even if it is up I have not been really following it. If you are interested in seeing it, let me know and I will post it.

Have a great day,

Today I would like to share with you a product and a company that I have come to hold in high regards. When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had the first common ground. I was searching for something that would teach them what writing was, and guide them through the process incrementally, without bombarding them with pages and pages of writing right from the start. I found what...
