How I Organize our Homeschool Room

No matter how organized I am, I always find myself looking for new and more effective ways to organize our homeschool room and supplies.

Here is a tour of our homeschool room! We have a large table in the center of the room with a Recollections Storage Desktop Carousel.  I absolutely love this carousel as it makes for easy access to daily supplies.

This side table stores various supplies that are awkward shaped.  On top is a Creative Grab N’ Go Rack System, and it is full of washi tape, sequins and miscellaneous small crafting and school supplies. I use an inexpensive magazine file holder to store cardstock, sorted by colour and I also have various small pieces of cardstock in the box next to the magazine file.  A little wooden box stores small projects that we are currently working on.

I absolutely love our 10-drawer organizer cart.  I bought this one at Michaels, but you can also find them on Amazon. It contains glue, crafting markers and pencils, stamp pads, more crafting paper and stickers.  The drawers are great for organizing a wide variety of items with very easy access.  I also have a couple drawers available for storage of the current projects that my children are working on. I store the wipes, tape runner, dot-a-dot markers and some stamp sets on top.

This cabinet is organized using clear Dollar Store containers so that we can see what is in each container.  Items such as felt, clothes pins, foam shapes, crafting feathers, twine and yarn are stored here.

Our paint supplies are stored in a basket in a closet off of the schoolroom.  The paint trays and painting aprons are also stored next to the basket so we can grab it all at once when we want to paint.

We use a Kallax shelfing unit from Ikea to organize our curriculum and books.

 

With a very busy two year old who is excellent at getting into almost everything, we will be using our kitchen table the majority of the time this year as it will be easier to keep tabs on my youngest. Each evening I will go downstairs with a small storage container to bring up any required supplies for the next day. For this year, any of our 2017-2018 curriculum is being stored upstairs in a living room bookshelf for easier access when working at the kitchen table.

Organization of our homeschool room is a work-in-progress at all times. This 30 Days to Homeschool Organization blog party is a great way for all of us to learn new tips!

How do you choose to purchase a certain brand of p How do you choose to purchase a certain brand of product or a bull from a specific ranch? We all make choices every day based on our opinions, interests, and based on what we have seen, heard and experienced. We must remember that when marketing our own farm products. There are lots of cattle operations producing cattle and beef for customers to choose from. You need to develop a relationship and a niche for your own brand/operation. Building this will then form relationships with customers that trust you, know what to expect from you and in turn want to support you.

I don’t go anywhere without it, because at any given moment, I might think of a new blog post, and I have to write it down immediately! That’s just the life of a rancher who uses social media as a business tool, I guess! Are you: A. An old-fashioned pen+paper dreamer; or B. A digital dreamer?

If you feel like you’re not moving fast enough, If you feel like you’re not moving fast enough, remember this: Just as a seed doesn’t turn into a tree the day after it’s planted, neither do your dreams. Those seeds need nurturing, care, and time to grow before they turn into the plant they’re intended to be, just as your farm or ranch! Keep going, friend… Your time to shine is right around the corner. Drop a ❤️ if this gave you the encouragement you needed today!
You know the saying, “a picture speaks a thousan You know the saying, “a picture speaks a thousand words”?  Good quality photos of your cattle or farm product is key when marketing. A customer can be wowed by your cattle quickly with a photo and they can also be turned away quickly. We all look for something different in our cattle, so have a good quality photos can leave a large impact on your potential customers. Has your opinions ever been swayed based on a photograph of a potential herd sire or of a ranch management practise?
