My Favorite Homeschool Supplies List

Early July is the season when I start to prayefully plan our school year. I sit down, grab a cup of tea and take the time to ponder: What has worked for my childen? What can we leave aside? What can I do better as a mom? Where is the Lord leading us as a family?

I also write down the things our kids and I may need to avoid overspending, so today I would love to share with you a list of my favorite homeschool supplies.

Some of these items contain links to my Amazon Storefront, you can find the full list here (If you are new to homeschool, I want for you to know that I didn't buy them all at once. I started with just a few things and every year I add a few items as needed):
