I love that you mention time with the Lord before everything else. It is so hard to find the time but so important. I also love the idea of getting up just 15 minutes earlier for a month and then 15 minutes earlier the next month and so on. Much more doable than trying to do 1 hour earlier from the start.

@PursuingPeace 10 месяцев назад

Yes! I've tried the one hour thing and it doesn't stick. 15 min helps your body get used to the change more easily. ❤️

@saramartinez3078 10 месяцев назад

Its extremely essential to get in the word first thing in the morning. We as parents are also called to study the Bible with our children so we must be ready!

@PursuingPeace 10 месяцев назад

Amen! ❤️

@diamsyal4967 10 месяцев назад

@@PursuingPeace quick question, those latch bins you showed.. can a filled 1 inch binder fit inside ?

@180daytotalbodymakeover 10 месяцев назад

I love that you said Christ for the first essential. That's a huge reason I chose to homeschool. I want to bring Christ and religion into every subject. 🥰

@ijccce 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video! I am a very veteran hs momma. We have 6 adult, married kids that I homeschooled, (and we have also been blessed with 8, and counting, grandkiddos) 7 years ago when my husband I and I just became empty nesters we were asked to take in our now adopted beautiful son! I have the honor of homeschooling him and am so thankful to the Lord that I am on this journey once again. By the time he graduates I'll have about 37 years under my belt :) First and foremost, I love your passion for Christ! While I love so many of the essential tips you gave, the one that stuck with me was listening to audiobooks while folding laundry or during other times where reading would be difficult but listening is not. I have never purchased an audiobook but it is now on my list! Thank you so much!

@marichu4448 10 месяцев назад

I loved keeping things simple like each kid has their bin with pencil and books 📚 🥰

@trostietribepartyof5 10 месяцев назад

I'm not sure I have just one favorite. I love that you incorporate the Lord into your daily homeschool routine. I think that's so important and really connects you and your children on a deeper level. I, also, love that you mentioned to take the time to educate ourselves and not just our children. All of us can learn something new everyday and I think that helps us as moms get in the right mindset with teaching our babes! Also, YES those storage bins from Michaels, truly, are the best storage bins on the planet.. I am, also, slightly obsessed with those!

@sarahlenhard3402 10 месяцев назад

I found your channel 3 years ago when I pulled my youngest kiddo out of kindergarten a month in. I was so scared! I've been listening ever since. So glad I started homeschool and so thankful for all your videos to help me feel confident! Going into 3rd grade (and my oldest 9th!) And while I feel a little nervous with a high schooler, I appreciate your reminder that I can do what I can and God is there for us. He has us 🥰 My favorite tip was getting in the word 1st and time to pray.

@rebeccatisci1184 10 месяцев назад

I love that quiet time with the Lord is the first essential! I do this too, and when my boys wake up for the day encourage them to do so as well. I also love the open and go curriculum, perfect for new homeschoolers and even veterans. Your videos are always so encouraging!

@klevesque 10 месяцев назад

🥰 I love quiet time with the Lord! It’s essential to get the day going on the right track. It’s grounding for me. 😊

@rebekahian 10 месяцев назад

The quiet time with Jesus is my favorite tip. It was life changing when I made time for it by waking up earlier in the morning. It's now a habit, and I love starting my day with it🥰 what a sweet and generous giveaway ❤

@sarahmarinkovich-durfee4509 10 месяцев назад

🥰 I agree that prayer and Scripture are soooooooooooo important! Dwell has been so worth the subscription. My son and I spend a lot of time outside and I can’t always carry a lot but listening to Scripture in a blessing.

@JillRB 10 месяцев назад

I agree that starting with the lord first sets the mood of the day. I also agree that having everyone’s supplies organized and in one spot is a must.

@ednao4770 10 месяцев назад

Quiet time is #1 it’s how I get thru LIFE! But especially homeschooling. And the bins!! I love those bins!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

@alexmorse3969 10 месяцев назад

My favorite thing you mentioned was either the personal quiet time with the Lord or the books for mom! Quiet time is hard to.come by these days with littles but I am so inspired by your commitment to do it. I love how you mentioned if you were forced to choose between quiet time and cleaning the house, you choose quiet time! And the books you're giving away- they have been on my list for a while, I just haven't gotten to them yet! Thank you for doing this giveaway and for sharing your homeschool journey with us. I'm a brand new homeschool mom and feeling just a bit overwhelmed but I feel less overwhelmed after watching your videos :) You're using the gifts God has given you to encourage other moms and it's such a blessing!!

@tamijoysisemore659 10 месяцев назад

For any mamas that struggle to read the Word as much as they would like I highly recommend The Daily Audio Bible App! They read through the Bible in a year every year, you can move, clean, cook whatever while you listen to the Word being read. Then there is commentary and then people from all over the world call in with prayer requests and praises! It’s a wonderful time each day! I love the prayer book you shared! I so so need the organizational tips! I love how you have the bins in the cubby shelf! Looks so neat and organized ! I love the carts too! I made magazine boxes from cereal boxes and shelf paper. Lol used for years, I need a new way! Love the idea for the Library bin! You are awesome! 🥰🥰🥰

@sandrafromlittlesproutslea2990 10 месяцев назад

My favorite essential was you're speaking about the importance of getting God's word to star the day. I believe in God's word first and last each day. I loved your tips on using Latchmate bins.

@malyakapagan6652 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your faith in Jesus! Spending quiet time alone with Jesus is the most essential part of life! I remember hearing a quote that says, ‘As your day begins, so your day goes.’ It’s the best way to start your day. 🥰

@ashleybates9542 10 месяцев назад

Favorite tip - Starting off the day by spending time with God and making Him our priority! Also, I love your suggestion to make a goal of waking up 15 minutes earlier until you can build on that.

@sharrya1965 10 месяцев назад

My favorite essential is to spend time with the Lord first thing in the morning. It’s nice and quiet, and having that time with Him really sets the tone for the entire day .

@lisacarmona9098 10 месяцев назад

Simply, your type of energy is essential. ❤ the enthusiasm and love you bring with Christ and homeschooling is so refreshing. I loved how you mentioned the different options for organizing homeschool setting without having to spend sooo much money. I appreciate you taking out time to help us in our journey in pursuing peace with Christ, homeschooling and the "mama" world. 😊

@taniacherneychuk4335 10 месяцев назад

🥰 essential takeaways: start your day with God, educate yourself and read aloud good books to your babies. Also, I love how organized you are. We are starting our homeschool journey this year and your videos have been a blessing to me. Thank you

@graceabounding7 10 месяцев назад

🥰 My favorite takeaway was to make sure to set time aside for the Lord and learning for myself. I have a hard time finding time to do that between work, keeping house, and homeschool. But it is so important. Thank you! This is my second year homeschooling and your videos have been soooooo helpful!

@jamielinden5005 10 месяцев назад

I love that one of the essentials is daily time with God, something I need to work on in my day

@helloharrishomeschool9554 10 месяцев назад

I love that you opened this video with the need for quiet time and Jesus. I love your heart for homeschooling and God ❤️ that is our focus this year, it can be easy to get wrapped up in the busyness and the even the fun of how to organize the things you’ve bought to homeschool. Thank you for sharing your tips 😊

@m.e.gorospe519 10 месяцев назад

My favorite part was the open and go curriculum, especially because I'm a new homeschool mom. Curriculum is the biggest thing that intimidates me.

@lauraannnemcik1802 10 месяцев назад

My favorite thing you mentioned would be keeping a Christ at the center of your homeschool. I 100% agree with keeping Christ at the beginning of the day - especially for being the mama / homeschool leader for the house! This is so often overlooked and thank you for mentioning that.

@proverbs31cosmetics39 10 месяцев назад

My mother in law came in earlier today with a beautiful aquamarine color t shirt and she turned around to hug my kids and it said His Grace is Enough it's beautiful ❤️

@courtneyrose5747 10 месяцев назад

Hands down, that printer!!!! GAME CHANGER!!! 💜🌸💜🌸

@arelizavala5032 10 месяцев назад

🥰 i love how you mentioned the need to fill ourselves with the word and focus on devotional .

@susanapereira4612 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your personal experience and some good homeschooling wisdom! Everything was helpful and relatable so thanks for keeping it real and not over complicating things. Makes it all feel less intimidating. - Quiet time WITH THE LORD is clearly the best advice you shared. That shapes every aspect of our life, right? - Reading out loud to your kids really jumped out at me as you talked about that. I don’t do that enough and wow, what a wake up call! Your homeschooling journey is inspiring. Thank you for being willing to share it with all of us here. 🙏🏻

@joslyn1396 10 месяцев назад

The quiet time is a good reminder! I'm trying to work on getting up earlier to hopefully have a little time before the kiddos get up! I also like the latchmate boxes and the idea of just having books!❤

@shereneowen9187 10 месяцев назад

Everyday time with the Lord is my fav thing you had mentioned.. that too without shying away from talking about Christ! Love your heart :)🥰

@PursuingPeace 10 месяцев назад

Praise God! ❤️ Thank you for your encouragement!

@StaceyYoder 10 месяцев назад

Great tips. Spending time with the Lord is so important! Love the 15 minutes idea! These were so good. 🥰

@starhorse99 10 месяцев назад

I loved how you put your tips in order of importance. First God then curriculum then supplies etc.

@michellevillasenor4156 10 месяцев назад

Favorite essential that you mentioned was quiet time. I struggle with getting some quiet time with the Lord. Thank you for sharing. 🥰

@christinej2828 10 месяцев назад

I love your tip to educate yourself. I have been homeschooling for 16 years and self education is so crucial.

@genevieveventura6095 10 месяцев назад

I love anything about organizing, but my favorite part was about spending time with Lord. ❤

@jenniferbowlby1061 10 месяцев назад

I love how you made the first thing time with the Lord!! 🥰

@meagang.8975 10 месяцев назад

Books! Books! Books! I love teaching my kids through books! 🥰

@shanesmommy3146 10 месяцев назад

School supplies are my favorite essential. I think I enjoy them more than my kids do.

@schindel6307 10 месяцев назад

Definitely agree with you on being in the word! That and what I listen to throughout the day effects my attitude and mood. Love the look of your room. It looks so peaceful. 🥰

@Lucyso21 10 месяцев назад

I really liked that your number one tip is making time for personal time with God. This is something I've been feeling convicted about lately. Thanks for sharing your faith and stressing how important it is well each make time to fpend with Him.

@amandaheishman8810 10 месяцев назад

Love that Christ is the first essential. Thank you for your encouragement ❤️

@jenniferstephey435 10 месяцев назад

🥰🥰🥰 These are all extremely helpful and most definitely essentials and great organization. For myself the best essential is making Christ apart of all thing. Without Christ there is nothing and He needs to be the center of everything and for sure homeschooling. The morning quiet time is excellent something that is so needed and I struggle with. The assigning of a few minutes at a time is smart.

@vanessae19 10 месяцев назад

🥰 My favorite tip of yours is having quiet time with God in the morning! I’m just starting my homeschooling Journey and at the same time I’m trying to grow spirituality so this tip is perfect! I am definitely going to start setting aside time to do this!

@brandybernardini2191 10 месяцев назад

I really need to get better about spending time with the Lord DAILY! My day is always better and smoother when I get that time in first thing! 🙌🏻

@monicamoreno3629 10 месяцев назад

My favorite tip was definitely getting in the Word first. I have found that this makes a tremendous difference in my day.

@sharnnistewart794 10 месяцев назад

I wish that I had discovered your channel when I first started homeschooling. You are such a blessing and wealth of wisdom! Thank you so much for all you share and do! Definitely going to look into your podcast and book recommendations but I think my favourite tip, which resonates most with me, is spending time with the Lord first and foremost. Number 1 game changer! 🥰🥰🥰

@1LineAtATime 10 месяцев назад

❤ time in His word! Educate yourself, read aloud to your children ❤- I tell so many mamas this very thing! So encouraging, thank you 🙏🏽

@alenakhatuntsev4042 10 месяцев назад

My favorite tip was definitely quite time with God! Sadly, I am always on and off with that and this video really encouraged me to begin again as I start the new school year! Thank you :)

@elsa4559 10 месяцев назад

Hi!!! You are such an inspiration as a mom and homeschool teacher. I love watching all your videos. You always share so much. I love seeing your kids grow up and how you explain things to them as you teach. My favorite essentials from today would be the Michael’s bins to place each child’s curriculum. I can’t wait to purchase it for my 4 year old son. I homeschool him. I hope to be considered for the giveaway. I’m excited to hear what it is going to be 😊. I also love how you recommended Erin. I learned about her in the past from you. She’s great too. Thank you 🙏 for everything you do.

@elsa4559 10 месяцев назад

Hey Dina! I paused the video to write to you earlier but I see that at the end you mentioned what the giveaway was going to be. I read “Teaching from Rest,” a while back but would love to own the hard copy too. Excellent tips!!

@ericagoodrich5432 10 месяцев назад

Yes! Time in the word is absolutely essential! And good books. I don't think you missed anything that I would label essential. Thank you for the thoughtful content!

@brookeboswell6612 10 месяцев назад

So many good tips, the most difficult for me to do since becoming a sleep deprived mama is the time in the Word in the morning. Thank you for your encouragement!! I have wanted to read both of those books and am thankful for you and your content.

@andreacortes3998 10 месяцев назад

I'm a new homeschool mom just figuring out what to buy and I really love the bins, especially because we like to spend a lot of time outside and with this, we can carry our curriculum with us.

@mandysalazar8656 10 месяцев назад

🥰 loved the quiet time with Jesus tip and the read aloud tip!!

@michellespriggs7789 10 месяцев назад

🥰 I loved how you mentioned reseting your schedule to make sure you were spending time with God in the morning. I find myself longing for that. My favorite organization tip is the bins. We are currently using a cart and it’s working well for us now. But, I can see myself switching to bins as they get older and need more independence and their “own stuff.”

@jacquelynalaniz792 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this video! I was feeling overwhelmed with starting homeschooling this year. 3 under 3😅! I love that you mentioned putting time with the lord first and most important! 🥰🥰

@MAMASICILIA 10 месяцев назад

I’m so happy you mentioned time with God bc we need our cups full for whatever the day may bring; also, the Word is constantly refining us. Great Video ❤

@PursuingPeace 10 месяцев назад

Yes! Amen! ❤️

@starrynight81 10 месяцев назад

Hi! New subscriber here! I was searching for some encouragement on youtube before I start my 3nd year of homeschooling my youngest child! I am a veteran homeschool Mom who just graduated my first born out of college!😭 I am on my final years of homeschooling my last child who is 8 years old! I loved loved your video and even though I have homeschooled for many years, I am always looking for fresh new ideas when it comes to teaching and organization, because as we know each child is so different with their needs as a student! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share your homeschool journey with us! I especially love that you love Jesus and put him first before all! Im off to watch the rest of your videos now and looking forward to future videos! And I put your two book recommendations on my wish list! Thank you! 🥰

@christinaaranda9128 10 месяцев назад

🥰 The Latchmate bin with the tray 🤯. My homeschool seems to keep growing and this is something I can implement in my school. Thank you.

@homeschoollifemom 10 месяцев назад

I love your passion for quiet time with Christ first thing in the morning. So essential!! We just went to Michael’s last night and got new bins. We had a couple broken ones and have a new homeschoolers. I was so bummed cause now they don’t fit in my cupboard! But I do love them! They are just the best for storing their individual studies and then I have a bin for Science and History too. Love them! Sarah Mackenzie is awesome. I love her books, book lists, and podcast too!! I read Teaching From Rest every year too! I think Scribd with long I makes more sense too, but I do hear other people saying it with a short I. I still say it Scrībd. 😆 Lovely video as always! God bless!

@misstootsie123 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, I am also in the faith but fail to put God first, just being caught up in my own chaotic life. This message is relatable and refreshing

@katyvessey1842 10 месяцев назад

Time with the Lord for sure! So Helpful to keep you rooted and focused on what is most important. We also have a separate basket for our library books. It’s so helpful to not get them all mixed up. 🥰

@bringinglifehome 10 месяцев назад

We haven't started just yet but I always love your encouragement that even if it's hard we just trust in God and try again tomorrow 💜

@rachelwalker6904 10 месяцев назад

My kids LOVE our read aloud time every day and veg for more chapters than my voice can handle after a morning of teaching. 😂 i have a capable but reluctant reader, so making sure he loves good books is high on my priority list!

@devchonka18 10 месяцев назад

Essential for me in homeschooling is good books! We're constantly putting books i researched ahead of time on hold and picking them up. No more checking out odd books that are just a waste.

@Spice2416 9 месяцев назад

I miss you sweet lady! I love watching your peaceful videos! You even have some good reminders in here for me that I have forgotten about over the years.

@PursuingPeace 9 месяцев назад

I miss you too!!! ❤️

@mamabearclark 10 месяцев назад

My favorite homeschool essential are the latchmate bins. I have those for both my kiddos. They are great to keep their separate curriculums in. I even bought one for myself to keep my planner and books in. 😊

@user-qk4wv2wd2v 10 месяцев назад

🥰 I guess I would be considered a veteran HS mom maybe? I’ve been HS since 2006, graduated 2 so far… 4 more to go 😅 I love of course that you mention beginning at the feet of Christ. Being a pastors wife and busy mom of all the ages lol this past year has brought me to a stop! What a beautiful reminder you have given with such enthusiasm for our Lord! Thank you! I also appreciate the reminder that it can be SIMPLE!!! 🥰🥰

@brittanifell3282 10 месяцев назад

I love that you mention morning time. I ALWAYS feel better when I start my day out in the word---and yet here I am having just had some quiet time and it's almost time for dinner. I'll be making a conscious effort to address it first thing going into this school year and eager to see how the rest of the year takes shape :) Thanks for all you share here, it is so appreciated and encouraging as we start our new school years.

@Nina.177 10 месяцев назад

Yes, good books are essential for homeschool! I totally agree, they can be your entire science and history curriculum in the early years. 🥰

@cathy8086 10 месяцев назад

Smile

@kimberlymeyers6414 10 месяцев назад

Thank you, Dina! 🥰 My favorite tips were your emphasis on Bible quiet time. We take quiet time every afternoon but I love how you phrased how important it is for mamas too. I will also be checking out thr booklist resource - I go to our large public library downtown, walk in, and have no idea what to pull. And thank you for the recommendation to use homeschooling podcasts as a source of education for us as teachers- this is my 3rd year homeschooling and am trying to restructure a lot before we start. Your channel is such a blessing to me, thank you for sharing!

@MitchellsonaMission 10 месяцев назад

Waking up and spending time in the Word but also making sure my children do the same. Latchmate bins would be my personal favorite organization item. I have my kids craft supplies organized so they are more inclined to use them. We use them for paint, clay, melty beads, crocheting, candle making...etc.

@jessicabevins4351 10 месяцев назад

Quiet time really is essential. I let that pass in favor of other things I "need" to get done. How easily I put aside the One who provided all of those things. I am only here by His Grace, He deserves my undivided attention during quiet time. I needed the reminder. Thank you!

@PursuingPeace 10 месяцев назад

Amen! It seems like the Lord just spoke to your heart. Now trust and obey. ❤️ Praying for you! ❤️

@CassieMignault 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for all you do to support homeschool families!! I enjoy watching your videos.

@alwaysmystery 10 месяцев назад

Dear Dina, you are a such encouragement! Each time there is something to take away from your videos. This time I will try "15 min early" exercise. Blessings from our family to yours!

@user-cy2iu2gu8r 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this video! I am always encouraged by your peaceful presence and encouragement in Christ! My favorite "essential" was the Daily Grace prayer calendar you shared 😊

@amandafreebrey9192 10 месяцев назад

🥰 I think when I became a new home educator I was overwhelmed with all the choice, styles, curriculum & seeing these beautiful home school rooms, so your video would of been the reassurance and guidance I needed. Some great tips but loved the lidded bins. We are 3 years in to home education now x

@mellisa5016 10 месяцев назад

Your passion for Christ is infectious ❤️. I always enjoy your videos, they are so motivating. I’m going on my 3rd year homeschooling and an essential in our home is busy yet simple learning things for my toddler so that she feels included with her big sister but allows us to get things done😅. She sees her learning and wants in on all of it lol. We are also going to be adding in Bible study in the morning this year and I cannot wait to watch my girls and myself grow in our faith together. I picked up More Than Words and The Hands on Bible experience after hearing your reviews on them ☺️🙏🏻.

@anair9908 10 месяцев назад

Today marks the beginning of our homeschooling journey!! 😊 I bought my kiddos desks and chairs so they can have a place to go and do there work but at first I thought maybe i did wrong because I was making them sit there like they were at school but after listening to you talk about how it’s a good idea for the kiddos to have a place to go made me feel much better at the idea 😊 My essential is having time with the Lord and taking my children first thing in the morning to daily mass! 🙏🏻 ❤️ God bless all the mothers out there who are also beginning this journey just like we are!

@gracecurry8947 10 месяцев назад

My quiet time! That’s the most essential thing in my life, as a Christian, wife and mom! Being in His presence everyday is the most important thing in my life! Without Him I couldn’t do anything 🙏🏼

@mariaa7257 10 месяцев назад

My favorite essential that you mention was Christ . We are working on adding more to it in our to day with the toddlers . I definitely loved the Bible you mention with photos and diagrams! Thank you for sharing ♥️ 🥰🥰🥰

@Mary-pr4kx 10 месяцев назад

I like the idea of a library book bin! We usually end up mixing the library books with our own and then it’s a hassle to find them all before going to the library.

@elizabethp5835 10 месяцев назад

The word of God in the morning above and before everything else is my favorite and also the printer as you are so right as the ink can end up been so much at the end and not lasting for a long time.

@margareth1345 10 месяцев назад

I LOVE hearing how you start your day, such a great reminder!

@georgiaannstapleton537 10 месяцев назад

My favorite homeschool tool has to be my printer. I use it alot and couldn't live without it.

@taele1090 10 месяцев назад

I really like the tip for open and go curriculum. when we first started I just ordered what seen some one else using with no teaching experience. My children and I were fustrated, keeping it as simple as possible is defiantly the way to go.

@rolandabradley6193 10 месяцев назад

I love your quiet time and that being essential. I feel the same way and it's a must for me/us. I also love the books for parents that you mentioned. I've been homeschooling for 8 years now and I've never read either one....but I do read aloud to my daughter every day.

@mariavillacres2778 10 месяцев назад

My fave essential was the bins those are truly gold. I could see that being so practical and also the book lists I am looking at them now!! Ty Dina.

@Jnguyen93N 10 месяцев назад

I love the latch bins! I like how the books and supplies are protected so my little one can’t get in there and take things out. I love your emphasis on the importance of reading because I myself didn’t consider to be an essential part of homeschooling. I am taking this year to learn more about homeschooling and will starting next year. It all seems very overwhelming and daunting so I am glad I came across your video! All your tips are very helpful!

@mandygalgrows4454 10 месяцев назад

My favorite essentials you mentjoned are the quiet time in prayer for mom. Definitely much needed. And the library card. When we started homeschooling a few years back the library was such an important resource - not only for books but for story time where they could get out and interact with other kids. ❤

@PursuingPeace 10 месяцев назад

Yes! We love storytime! It was a must when my kids were younger. ❤️

@storeywilliams6162 10 месяцев назад

I love the basket/bin/reusable bag for all library books! I keep a basket in front of my fireplace for library books only. I don't need them getting mixed in with our books and me not noticing until they are due!

@claudiavillanueva1798 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for making this video. I been watching your channel for over a year n finally this year I made the decision on homeschooling my 4yr old and 7yr old. We started a week ago. My favorite essential would be the podcast and reading good books. I love to listen to podcast and read books. I feel like it’s a super good guidance for homeschooling n motivation. Of course also spending time with lord. That’s a must. Thank you so much for all your tips, they’re very helpful 🥰❤

My printer is my most relied on essential. In fact, this week my printer started having some issues and I freaked out because we start our homeschool year next week. Thankful, I resolved the issue this morning.

An essential that you mentioned would be the clear containers (which I need some!) and I also have a tip myself, get a laminator! Best purchase ever! I can reuse so many different papers, make so many different learning games/ activities, it’s awesome! Thank you so much for all you Dina! Bless you! ❤

I've bern homeschooling now for 3 yrs. I use Abeka & I loved your tips on organization & how reads are are so important as a homeschool parent & for my kid. I liked how you said you get up early to spend time with the Lord, it's something that I have to be consistant in. Overall it really helped me out a lot. So thank you for sharing what's working & the essential things you need to have in our homeschool.

🥰 I love your genuine focus on Christ and the need to keep Him at the heart of all we do. ❤ My favorite organizational idea is the cart/magazine rack. This is what we use because we are wanderers, and I love being able to keep everything together and still mobile.

Yes! It's great for those that do like to do school all over the house. :)

I love the idea of a library basket to keep public library books separate! I strugged with that in the past and we kind of gave up on going to the library because of the stress of finding the books within our books:) ...time to start back up! Thanks!

Favorite tip - spend time in the Word and let the Lord prepare you for the day! This has always been extremely helpful for me and so glad to hear others sharing it. ❤
