I came across this book on another website and just had to mention it because it sounds like something I would really enjoy reading!  If you have read this, feel free to leave a comment.  Thanks!

Homeschooling at the Speed of Life - by Marilyn Rockett --  What should I do next; grade the math test or tackle the laundry? Homeschooling at the Speed of Light gives busy homeschooling mothers a thoughtfully thorough resource for bringing order back to their home-turned-classroom. In tune with today's pace, the book provides basic home-management principles, teaching parents how to de-clutter their homes, develop life skills in their children, tame the paper monster and keep organized records. Also emphasized are ways to build relationships and use the home as a center for hospitality and outreach. The book even includes Rockett's easily adaptable File-a-Plan organizing system on a bonus CD-ROM. Homeschooling moms will be keeping with with their good work in no time! 240 pages, softcover. From Broadman and Holman.

Marilyn Rockett is like a homeschool version of Martha Stewart! However, she does not expect you to achieve a perfectly arranged magazine-quality home but to simply attain what is described as “functional neatness.”   (Something I can live with!)
