When I found out this week's Front Porch theme, I was fascinated to see what others on the Porch team have to say about organization within the framework of their columns' focus!
Julia's column on Classical Education would fit in beautifully in my own home! She wrote on organizing Morning Time and explains that the first part of the school day when everyone is gathered is ideal for subjects that might otherwise fall through the cracks. Click over to her article to read about how she fits Bible, Latin, Greek Mythology, Nature Study, Picture Study, Poetry, Reading Aloud, and Shakespeare in through a simple rotational system. It sounds lively, fun, and most importantly, do-able!
Taneil's Corner addresses organizing one of the most challenging organizational areas in the home. My craft supplies seem to defy efficient organization. I struggle to find systems that are both tidy and accessible, and they either become unruly and chaotic or they are orderly, but out of sight, out of mind and therefore impractical. Taneil links to a tutorial for making a magazine holder out of a cereal box as well! What a great idea! Those little magazine boxes are expensive when purchased retail, and I use them extensively in our homeschool. (They are nice for holding thin, paperback early readers and other booklets and books that don't have much of a true spine.)

I'm eager to see what other team members post as the week progresses!
