Are you suddenly homeschooling? And looking for organization ideas? This Homeschool Organization system will help your child be more independent and help YOU keep everything from taking over the house!

These homeschool organization tips will help a TON with your at home learning!

Here we are.  Working and school from home.  When you probably didn't expect it.  So I'm guessing you don't already have a homeschool organization system set up and ready to go.  Whether you have one child at home or a whole bunch, I can guarantee getting your learning supplies and the work they've brought home from their classroom will help time management and your sanity.  And I promise? This is pretty simple.

Homeschool Organization: What to Do and What You Need

Shop the Bins:

You may have a whole homeschooling room or you may be using your dining room table.  This homeschool organization system will work in small spaces.  YOU NEED BINS.  One for every subject or activity.  And if you have multiple children? They each need their own set of bins.  Why? Because the goal here is self sufficiency and keeping things organized.  We have a bin for phonics activities, a bin for writing, a bin for math games, a bin for reading books, a bin for math worksheets, a bin for science, and a bin for art supplies.  Technology pieces are stored separately in a larger plastic tub.  I used baskets we already had on hand and labeled them with post its.  Now that we are probably in this for the long haul? I just ordered these colored plastic bins.  They're super easy to keep clean and organized and it's probably really teacher-y but I love how they're already color coded.

Now if you have multiple children? How does this work? You're going to get a set for EACH KID.  Yes, even the toddlers or preschoolers.  Why? Not necessary because they need academic work in them….but because they'll be part of the system.  A lot of you are working from home and trying to implement an at home learning schedule or routine while you do that.  Kudos.  This is HARD and not something we expected.  These bins will help.  Have a conference call? Tell them which bin to use.  Yup, even the toddler can get their blocks from the purple bin.  The point of the colors? Even if they can't READ, they know the colors.

Now how are you going to get through those conference calls? You prep the boxes.  The night before.  Super simple activities.  If your kids are old enough, printable worksheets are a great option for SOME subjects (I've even got some ABC worksheets for younger kids).  I'd do a couple practice rounds while you're not, you know on a call with all your coworkers.  Have the kids practice getting materials, setting up and completing a task, then putting them away.  The more comfortable they are, the more smoothly this will go.  Trust me, you don't want kids running around looking for crayons, scissors, and glue while you're trying to have a meeting or, you know collect your thoughts.

Are you suddenly homeschooling? And looking for organization ideas? This Homeschool Organization system will help your child be more independent and help YOU keep everything from taking over the house!

Simple, right? I guarantee this homeschool organization system will help you navigate at home learning with a little less chaos!

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀
But the real question is…..which Bluey episode i But the real question is…..which Bluey episode is your favorite?!?We are off to play keepie uppie and pass the parcel at Oogie Boogie Bash. 🤣#bluey #oogieboogiebash
🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
