Yesterday Satori got her very own library card, as Boulder only lets you take out 20 books at a time, with two cards, we’ll get 40 books. :) Then I recalled an idea I got from another blogger earlier this week – her very own homeschool ID card! These are handy to take advantages of discounts at places like museums.

Yesterday Satori and I discussed possible names for our homeschool. I wanted to incorporate the word “mountain”, as we  live on a mountain, and she wanted to add the word “fox”, with our neighborhood foxes visiting us often. So “Fox Mountain Academy” it is!

I wanted to see some examples, so a quick Google brought up the Homeschool Buyers Coop, of which we are member anyway (free to join, and an awesome service). They offered FREE homeschool ID cards! They have an interactive form for you to build your own ID card for free. You can then print and laminate yourself or have them print one for you for a small fee. We made it ourselves.

In 10 minutes, I had this printed out and laminated! (Some info is blurred out for privacy.)

By the way, both a laminator and a paper cutter are great investments for the homeschool. I got to use my new 5-in-1 cutter, it has a “rounded edge” cutter, so we were able to get a nice fancy, rounded edge. :)

Satori loves it! She’s so very proud.

Now, I would like to get her hair cut and then we’ll have to do another photo shoot (I have a photography studio which comes in handy), so that we can get an updated photo.

She now has two important id cards to store in her purse.
