That's it! Can you believe it?? I think when many start thinking about homeschooling they want to have it all....the best, the biggest and the baddest when in reality you don't need it all and chances are you don't have room for it all. It is my belief that it is best to start with the basics and add as you go. Homeschooling can be very overwhelming when you are first starting out and all of the extra "fluff" can add to your anxiety level.
Also remember, many of the items you keep in your home are learning tools you just need to think out of the box.
Happy Homeschooling.
