As of August 2013: I am a homeschooling mom to two boys. The oldest is in 10th grade and the youngest is in 6th. We use Sue Patrick's Workbox system (love it!), and curriculum from a variety of sources. This is our fourth year of homeschooling, and I have learned so much since beginning our journey in September of 2010. I always feel like I am not doing enough but still feel confident in our decision (unless it's time for math, but Teaching Textbooks is making that better.)

Simplify Life #19
I keep things where I use them! I have Swiffer dry cloths in nearly every room of the house so I can dust quickly and not have to hunt for them. I have cleaners under every sink in every bathroom. I have found that the less steps involved, the better the chance I will actually do something. I also can "strike while the iron's hot;" if I see something that needs to be done, I can do it at that moment. This is why I also have pairs of tennis shoes stored on my treadmill and another pair stored in my living room corner cabinet (I do workout DVDs in the living room.) Again, less steps, less distraction and thus better the chance I will do what I need to. The small things really add up for me.
