Reorganizing the home and the homeschool...

I'm making up for my complete lack of new pictures in my last several really long blog posts...

This past week, I reorganized all of our homeschool materials, and our kitchen work space.  It used to look like THIS.  But, now it looks like this:
Our furniture is pretty much all mix and match junk since we don't know how long we'll be in New York.  I didn't want to buy anything that I either don't absolutely love and would be willing to tote elsewhere, or that I wouldn't be willing to get rid of should we move.  Put together this way, our junk furniture functions pretty well!  Two old kitchen tables side by side, a hutch without doors or inside shelf for books and random stuff...

A box on its side works well as a makeshift bookcase, and is perfect for holding binders.  I have materials arranged in binders by subject...

We've done some schoolwork since rearranging our workspace...
Filling out a science lab experiment page...
Eating homemade ice cream, made while learning about the movement of molecules, and water temperature...





We've also reorganized a few other areas of our apartment, but I forgot to take a before picture, so instead I have an "in progress" and "after" of our hall...




And, I'm leaving you with what we had for dinner tonight...puffed oven pancake...
You should probably eat your oven puffed pancake with a fork, but it was pretty yummy folded in half and eaten with my hands!  I love it with frozen raspberries, and a sprinkling of powdered sugar...yummy!
