Jul. 14, 2007 - Homeschooling at the Speed of Life
I want to share with you all a great book that I just finished reading. It is titled Homeschooling at the Speed of Life: Balancing Home, School, and Family in the Real World by Marilyn Rockett.
I love home organization books. I also love and collect homeschool related books. The funny thing is, before I received the book, I had no idea that it dealt with home organization. This book gracefully combines both into one. I really appreciate the fact that Marilyn, a veteran homeschooler, shares these tried and true organization tips with those of us who are still plugging along in our homeschool journey. And on top of that, the ideas are practical and useful for a busy homeschooling mom.
Aside from the wonderful emphasis on organizing and keeping an organized home, Marilyn so correctly discusses that we need to order our lives and homeschools around the Lord. I am so blessed to own a copy of a book that truly takes a Titus 2 approach in helping homeschool moms keep their focus on loving the Lord. The book is packed full of great info, and I was doubly pleased to find questions at the end of each chapter. Not only that, but each chapter has an added section for devotion where you can look up verses that pertain to the topics discussed. It means so much to me to be able to read an organization/homeschooling book that focuses on my spiritual needs as wel
The book also comes with a CD which contains a plethora of forms to use in helping you organize your home. Now, you may have many systems and ideas, but Marilyn has truly covered all the bases with these forms, including tips and ideas on implementing them. There is definitely something for everyone on the CD. There are 32 types of forms on the CD and so many possibilities. As I was reading the book, I would check out the CD and sure enough, one of the ideas she had mentioned already had a form created.
So for the seasoned organizer all the way to the disorganized, there is definitely something in this book for you. I suggest you grab your copy and get reading! If you're like me, you'll be chomping at the bit to get organized!
