Hey Loves!
I get asked this a lot. I also sometimes feel like I am sometimes missing things to ensure I am prepared to educate my kids. Then I remember that God qualifies the called and I have the must-haves. Also, if I run out they are a couple clicks away.
Here is what I always have on hand.
Stationary: Call me snob but great pens of all colors, post-its, and note pads are essential for me. I take notes, highlight and mark pages.
Planner/Organizer: I am what they call, “type A” and I like to see our days and rhythms all laid out. This year I opted to create my own personal and lesson planner.
Network: Near or far, the support, encouragement and collective sharing of resources and ideas is critical. I can’t know all the things, I’m not supposed to. My network helps me and I help them. I honestly receive way more than I give. Our network breathes life into our homeschool.
Library Access: Friends, it is no secret I am addicted to books. I adore them. The library not only provides a multitude of audio and hard copy books but they have amazing programs and activities as well.
This list is just a start but these are the only way I make it year after year.
