My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
I’ve been comfortable with the computer desk, even though it had too big a foot print and was at a bad height for my neck, those ponderous drawers held a lot of stuff, so I didn’t have to deal with Continue reading Moving the workshop means other changes too…
To DH and I, you were the temporary, comfortable chair Mom’s neighbor gave us when we moved in, instead of throwing you away. I washed your cushion when diapers leaked, your back was burned when some Christmas lights overheated while Continue reading Goodbye Yellow Chair
The Book Brigade to empty the old short shelves We had to pen K up for this Now the room looks much more peaceful, and all the old stashes of books in boxes in closets have found at least a Continue reading The First 3 Bookshelves
Our friend K gave us 14 bookshelves. DH has installed 6 of them in pairs. We are planning on stacking the other 8 in what will be the guest bedroom/TV room. So we will have 7 bookshelves, 7 ft tall, Continue reading A perfect gift

I’m so grateful to the various relatives who made this Christmas’s theme the Boy’s New Bedroom! Things aren’t always Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion, but cleaning up is not so impossible anymore. "Trofast" drawers can be put in their Continue reading So, Did Ikea make a difference in the Boy’s Room?
