School House Electric
I know most of you don’t even want to talk to about the H word right now. AKA Homeschool.
But depending on where you live there is a good chance us parents are going to pull up our sleeves and start the school year with online learning.
I’m in that mindset right now and I thought to myself- how could I make this fun? I fully expect this new adventure to to take on the form of a train wreck but maybe I could have a little fun during the train wreck? Who knows.
Remember those days when we were little girls and how we loved to play school? And it and it was always a battle of who got to be teacher. Guess what? We finally get to be teacher everyday now! You can either laugh or cry now. No one is judging.
Here are some ways you can create an organized workspace for your children and yourself. I think the key is keeping it simple and having a consistent system you can follow on a daily basis.
Desk or Table?
*Consider how much flat surface space you will need and also take the size of your space into consideration. Having a table in the middle of the room is a great option if you have the space.
If you are limited on space, double desks against the the wall or a built in desk is a great way to utilize your space.
Reading Nook
*Incorporating a bench seat or reading nook is a fun way to make the space feely cozy and relaxing. And of course makes reading more enjoyable.
Adding a rug will help anchor the whole room. Using a fun pattern such a stripe, pattern or playful print with give the room a charming childlike feel.
Storage
Bookshelves are perfect way to corral the endless sea of papers. Keeping labeled bins and baskets will go along ways in keeping things tidy.

Wall Decor
*Having fun prints for the children to look at and a place to display their art is a VERY GOOD THING as Martha Stuart would say.

Inspiration
If I were to design a homework station for my house TODAY. This is what I would do. Tomorrow? Who knows. My guess I would probably come up with something totally different.
Enjoy!
