Are you organizing? Both July and late December seem to be THE organizational times for us. Both being before back-to-school times. I recently had a question from my friend Pamela on our IKEA for homeschool organization. And I asked if I could share her question here since it was about time for an organizational update. […]

Essential Oils Organization
Here at Hodgepodge it seems we are in a constant state of finding out how things work best. The best homeschool spaces for learning, the best arrangement of our days and the best organization so that we can find things quickly. Organization is a constant in our large-ish family household. So when I came across […]
IKEA Work at Home Organization for Homeschool Mom
Roughly about this time every year I catch the organizational bug. It is usually brief so I have to spring into action when it hits. This year it has been about work at home organization for homeschool mom. It was time. In sixteen years of homeschooling and eight years of blogging, I have not had […]
Top Homeschool Organization Helps
Our organization is based on needs. What we have done and continue to do when we organize it to think about what bothers us the most and tackle that. That’s the approach we made. Just the stacks and stuff. There were so many stacks of papers and books and notebooks and folders. Now each child […]

Toy and Room Organization… Help? Please?
I have a dream. In my dream there is a big playroom, with all kinds of toys, neatly organized in color coordinated and labeled bins. The boys share all the toys happily and everyone cleans up the day’s play messes together. Something like this lovely creation from homeedit.com: In that same dream, boys’ bedrooms are […]
Homeschool Reorganization: Simplification and Reordering Priorities
What? Just a couple weeks in and already reorganizing? Yep. That’s because we started slow and steady, savoring summer. (We still are!) Then we started adding in a little more with language arts. This week we are almost full-fledged back to homeschool with extracurricular activities on top. But at the heart of our reorganization is […]
Homeschooling High School: Curriculum, Organization, Planning

Today we reach homeschooling high school and in my next post I’ll share the resources we use with all our ages – together. This is the year we have two high schoolers – 9th grade Eldest […]
Homeschool Organization Beyond Stacks
I’ve accepted it now. Organization is simply a huge part of homeschooling. I’ve reluctantly shared about my stacks before. Even how we have a Filing Fridays habit with Papers, Stacks and Hole Punches. And we’ve completely been through a homeschool makeover, making it more comfortable, creating natural easy learning spots. I’ve used those IKEA baskets […]
Fifth Grade Kinesthetic Learner: Curriculum and Organization
I’ve talked before about how this is a big year for each of our children. I shared our plans for preschool and first grade yesterday. Tomorrow is for my 8th and 9th graders. Today we focus in on my Middle Girl. Fifth grade. Upper elementary. Last year before middle school. Transitioning to dialectic. That’s big. […]
Preschool to First Grade Curriculum and Organization
A dear reader asked, “Hi Tricia! Which curriculum you are using this new school year for your little ones?” How did she know I was formulating a series leading up to our Hodgepodge Curricula 2012-2013? There are just too many great resources for our age range of children to put them all in one post. […]
Homeschool Workboxes: Reorganization By Subject
In the last weeks of school we realized something. Our homeschool room organization was off. Well, not only had we not kept up with the paper overflow but we realized we’d outgrown the current system. See, we still use workboxes with the younger three children. And a few here and there for the older two […]

“You can’t change what you have or haven’t already done over the past year. Just start where you are, ask the Lord to make you a “joyful mother of children,” pray for grace and wisdom (and strength and patience), and move forward.” ~ Vicki Bentley, HSLDA Early Years Coordinator I read the quote above in […]
