I’ve had lots of links to share but they’ve all gone ‘walk-about’ so here are a few from the last few days.

Prepare to be a guest in someone else’s home – though this doesn’t apply to us this year I still thought it was a very good list and I’d like to share it with you all.

Here’s a great Squidoo Lens on Workboxes – we don’t use workboxes but she sure makes it tempting!! (note: The only reason we don’t is that our system of lists and diaries is working well to keep Daniel focused throughout the day though we used similar types of systems when he was younger.)

Robyn from Heart of Wisdom shares about 15minute clean ups – we call this Blitzing. I like these charts though that Robyn shares – giving a bit of a system to the Blitz. Kids seem to work better when they know what to look for in a messy room – look for all the books, look for all the paper, all the toys, all the clothes. I am going to customise these lists for our rooms that regularly need blitzing.

These days our house seems to be a buzz with political and philosophical discussions. I’ve subscribed to two blogs to help me keep up. I used feedblitz.com to subscribe to any blog/website I want to keep in touch with. Feedblitz sends me an email whenever my subscribed sites update. I find it easier to have these updates come to my email box instead of setting up a RSS feed. Anyway back those to emails:

• Andrew Bolt
• Breakpoint by Chuck Colson

Another from Robyn from Heart of Wisdom as she talks about celebrating Christmas and the changes that have happened, and the reasons why, over the years. I enjoyed Robyn’s honesty and the fact that she shows that these things are so often a journey. 12 Things I don’t like about Christmas

I’ve finally got my head wrapped around Josh finishing homeschooling and moving into university studies – he’s not there just yet but hoping to start some university units next year via Open University.
