RAR #229: How a 25 Spiral Notebook Can Change Your Homeschool

Published: Aug. 3, 2023, 7 a.m.

During my hardest year of homeschooling, I had a 12, 10, 8, and 1 year old, and twin newborns. Life was\u2026 a little chaotic.


One week, a friend of mine who had homeschooled all three of her kids asked, \u201cSo how's homeschooling going?\u201d


And naturally, I burst into tears. I\u2019m not sure she saw that coming. But then, maybe she did.\xa0


Anyway, she asked me how I was keeping the kids on track for their schoolwork and how much they could do when I wasn\u2019t able to lead them, and when I looked at her with a blank stare, she said, \u201cOkay, I\u2019m going to come over tomorrow and I\u2019ll bring some spiral notebooks.\u201d


So, I cleared a path to the door and she came and she showed me how a 25 cent notebook could completely change our homeschool for the better.


Today, we're going to talk about those spiral notebooks-- the one simple tool that has had the biggest impact on my homeschooling life.


In this episode, you\u2019ll hear:\xa0

  • How the spiral notebook system combats overwhelm when you\u2019re being pulled in too many directions
  • How I used the spiral notebooks in our homeschool
  • The modified system that we use in our homeschool now
