Children Quote by Karen DeBeus
““As homeschooling moms we want the best for our children. We want to give them all that is offered out there. But when we fill up our homes with so much stuff, we are doing just that. Filling up. Then we need to constantly organize, and we find we are just moving piles around. Make a list of the things that are absolutely essential. For example core curriculum books, supplies, etc. Then look around and see what is just fluff-those extra maps, flashcards, games, puzzles {with missing pieces}, etc. Decide what is necessary. Then look around and see what is just taking up space.””
