With Christmas approaching, you may be considering gifts for the children in your lives. Giving books to kids seems to be popular among parents. They are fairly small, and they can be well-used.

Why not consider gifting a book that also teaches children about tidying and organizing?

(I always encourage people to ask the parents about gift-giving, first!)

Attending a lot of Zoom calls these days? It's the worst when your internet has an unstable connection... you miss what people are saying, images freeze, they can't hear you, and you might even get kicked out of the meeting!

A simple thing that has helped me tremendously has been investing in an ethernet cable. Instead of using wifi, I instead plug my computer directly into the router box using the cable. This has made an incredible positive difference in both my productivity and the quality of my online meetings.

Because I have a mac laptop, I also had to purchase an Apple USB Ethernet Adaptor.

Desk Ideas for Sitting on the Floor or Couch

If you are working from home or your child is distance learning, it is nice to have flexibility in your seating arrangements. It's good to be able to get up and move to a different location or a different chair. Children, especially, benefit from having the choice to sit on the floor or in a comfy chair. If they are actively engaged in learning, then I would encourage you to let them choose where to sit! Here are some desk ideas to get you started!

Floor Desks

This adjustable wooden desk can be used while sitting on the floor. It allows adjustment to the angle so that you can add a device or book. It also has a flat surface and a cute little drawer!

This desk can be used on a bed, couch or on the floor. It includes a slot along the back for a book or iPad and for a slot for a drink.
