I am loving my Pocket Size Journals from The Thinking Tree. This is the way I would have loved to been homeschooled.

I can easily fit them in my purse and when waiting in line or sitting at the coffee shop I can work on a coloring page or writing.  For the Music Time box I put in some lyrics to a song I was listening to and the title went int the audio book box.
