I have all the notebooks on a shelf in the office and all of the loose papers in our files. But I admit I don't have a super-great system either! Using notebooks and expecting quality work DEFINITELY helps make the culling process easier though! :)Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-55819327511126757832018-07-21T10:21:04.521-07:002018-07-21T10:21:04.521-07:00Celeste, I'm wondering if you would be willing...Celeste, I'm wondering if you would be willing to share sometime what you do at the end of the year to organize all the kids' schoolwork... specifically, do you keep it all? and do you have much loose paper that you have to go through? I only have two kids schooling right now and I haven't figured out a great system- it's become a hodge-podge of schoolwork but I want to keep most of it since it isn't busywork but quality work they have done. Any thoughts or ideas? Thank you in advance. Your home and school are lovely to read about.

Thank you for these thoughts and I'll be sure to address them! :)Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-60793656421247713792018-05-19T22:19:08.444-07:002018-05-19T22:19:08.444-07:00I loved reading your article on Sunday-Keeping for...I loved reading your article on Sunday-Keeping for Children! As you’ve asked what other elements we’d be interested in knowing about when you write up about your family’s personal Sunday traditions, I’d love to hear about the practical elements of how you organise yourself. For example, do you prepare on Saturday? How do you get some rest time built into the day for yourself? Do you still do chores so you don’t feel like you are cleaning up after a tornado every Sunday evening before you begin your week? That sort of thing! Can’t wait to read it when it’s finished!Laurennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-88961503844471105162018-05-17T10:47:07.310-07:002018-05-17T10:47:07.310-07:00That sounds like an absolutely amazing trip!That sounds like an absolutely amazing trip!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689104216675201913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-18223040759774626322018-05-15T12:44:03.625-07:002018-05-15T12:44:03.625-07:00Wow, that sounds amazing!

We are going to Rome, Assisi, & visiting family in cozenza.:) I'll have about 20 hours of keeping time in driving/flying alone! It's a 2.5 hour trip to the airport, we have a layover, and a 6 or so hour flight from Toronto to Rome. With a few hours of driving in Italy to family/ back to Rome. LOTS of keeping time! And not to mention all the keeping I plan to do in Italy. And when we get to the beach, I'll be doing a little nature study, of course. This will be a very CM trip. :)Frannie Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132189916956671266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-46263756634369586942018-05-15T07:36:56.136-07:002018-05-15T07:36:56.136-07:00Oh Frannie, I am jealous of your Italian vacation!...Oh Frannie, I am jealous of your Italian vacation! I hope you have a fantastic time!<br /><br />Yes, I should really call it "Adult Women Keeping," but that doesn't sound as snazzy.

I'm not a mother yet, but I do find the best CM ideas for "adults" (and not just "kids") in what others do for mother culture activities. <br />My family leaves for Italy tomorrow for 2 weeks, I look forward to reading and taking notes on all of your latest posts when I get back! :) Frannie Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132189916956671266noreply@blogger.com
