Let me count the ways………… I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace. Okay, maybe not quite like that…
Seriously, I love my binding machine {affiliate link}. There are so many ways I use it. Our geography notebooks are bound using this.
I bind so many different little books with it. I bind monthly notebooks, history notebooks, timeline notebooks, my housekeeping notebook, my calendar.
When I got it my Mom said, “Ticia, why do you need a binding machine? You can just use the one we have up here.”
Yes, well then I’d have to keep 3 hyper little guys in the church office workroom as I put books together. That doesn’t sound fun.
Now, I can make them whenever I want. Which is often.
My binding machine is AWESOME! (and to truly get the impact of that AWESOME imagine a high pitched sing song voice holding that out)
A bit of seriousness from Future Ticia 2023 and the benefits of binding machines
While all the new very silly and very badly photo-shopped pictures are not in the least bit silly, I am 100% serious when I say I used my binding machine ALL THE TIME as I homeschooled my kids.
As you look at my blog you will see pictures of their notebooks all throughout in many different subjects.
If you don’t want to personally have a binding machine (though I can promise you, I used mine all the time), look into your homeschool co-op getting one, or somewhere you can use one, because they are life-changing.
Also, as a side note, it was surprisingly hard to find pictures I wanted to use when I searched up “couple in love,” just a lot of the poses were not the poses I needed. I needed couples gazing lovingly at each other, but there were a lot of side-by-side or him standing behind her as he hugged her. Oh well, I eventually found some good pictures.
Getting back to my serious discussion of the importance of binding machines, let me point you to a couple of helpful resources from earlier:
- Organizing notebooks
- Geography notebooks: United States, Noth America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa
- Creating monthly notebooks
