The following is a post from contributing writer\u00a0Jasmine<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

We homeschool year round at our house, but usually around mid-summer I get the itch to start planning for the next school year. I think about how things worked out the previous year, and if there are any changes that I would like to make for the upcoming year.<\/p>\n

One of the things that has been on my mind is the accessibility of my stuff. I usually keep all of our current books in a large basket on the bookshelf. But once I sit down to start reading to the kids, I have to either bring several books with me or get up between books to get the next one. I don’t mind getting up and getting the next book, but I have noticed that when mama gets up, even for a second, the kids scatter like ants. And their focus is completely gone.<\/p>\n

To remedy the situation, I decided to place several books in a magazine holder at the side of my seat. I can now keep my books, worksheets, maps, and pens all at my fingertips as we move from one lesson to the next.<\/p>\n

And because I didn’t like the look of black plastic, I came up with a cute magazine holder cozy to jazz it up a bit. I was so pleased with the results!<\/p>\n
