Ok I’ve been researching this whole workbox craze and have decided to give it a try.  I just started today so we will see if it actually sticks for us, as everything is so disorganized for us right now.  Our house isn’t finished so we are currently doing school in my bedroom.  So it’s me, L, K, and Z 1year old now and in 2 months we will have another baby insha Allah so I’m just waiting to see what things will be like then. (Sigh)  

Anyways due to lack of space we are using hanging folders in crates.  I will keep you posted on how it works also Insha Allah.  Below are a list of sites that I have been checking out on the topic.

The first one is where I first heard about it all…

Today me and my son (9) tried a new writing game idea I got from here .  It really did work for us.  He whines everytime I try to make him write so we did this idea and he couldn’t write enough.  Ofcourse we are very silly so we did do a silly, story but I will try to do something a little more serious at times too ….Maybe .  Anyways she mentions the book where she gets the idea.  I have already reserved that plus two others by the same person.  I will try to post reviews after I get to read them.  Insha Allah.  Hope Insha Allah this will help some of you as well as it has us.

It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything here due to computer issues.  Well not a whole lot has been going on these past few months.  I’m pregnant again so I’ve been under the weather for a few months.  I am now in my second trimester so I’m feeling much better masha Allah.  Baby Zakariyaa  is almost a year masha Allah. We have started up homeschooling again.  Ofcourse we are taking things slow due to Ramadan, pregnancy, and chasing little one.  

Now that I have a computer again Insha Allah  I will try to post more.
