Someone recalled my post from last year when I started Bigger and Beyond with my kids. As many of you know, we ended up actually using Little Hearts with the youngest and stopping Bigger with the oldest that year. This year, we started Beyond and CTC and have had a WONDERFUL year. My planning has been minimal and my kids hardly even use the schedules I make for them. The only thing they help with are "extras" like French, and pg. numbers for read alouds. Anyway, here is my system for this year and it has worked beautifully all year long with such minimal effort on my part.

We've found our niche here with organizing/scheduling/etc., but I wish I could do it the way you have done it! I love those cubbies! And that checklist sheet thingy looks so crisp and professional. I just typed our schedules on the computer and each child has their own copy in a notebook. And all of our school books are on a special shelf in the living room. That's as fancy as I get! I wish you could show me how you do it!!
Do you take apart your TM and put them in a notebook? I see on one binder it says, 'Creation to Christ.' I'm just curious as to what goes in there. (Forgive me if I'm being too nosy.)
