Supplies that promote learning at home – We use a variety of school supplies that promote learning in our home. One big item is individual planners for each of our kids and one for me.

Setting up a homeschool workspace – It’s more than a place to study it’s a space that is clutter and distraction-free, one that helps you feel inspired to learn. I love printing out inspirational quotes to hang in each kid’s workspace. This is one of many things we do as we set up our homeschool workspace. For more details read here.
