Can Having Too Many Books Become Stressful?

Image
Wow, it's been three months since I've blogged. I can't believe how little I've been blogging. A lot has happened here at Homeschooling6 in the past six months. One of the reasons blogging has slowed down is I haven't been inspired to write. I feel like there is not much happening (even though it's been crazy around here). Another reason is I have the worst luck with technology. For some odd reason, I can't get my photos from my phone or camera do upload to my computer. I have to upload them to Facebook and then download the pictures to my computer before I can use the pics. When I put them on Facebook I usually post them as a private picture. In May I started a weird journey of me wanting to get rid of stuff - and I can't believe I'm saying this but a lot of what was on my heart to get rid of was my books, yup, can't believe I typed that. If you all have been reading my blog and "know" me you also may know how much I LOVE books! I have

Summer Mama Goal

Image
This summer I plan to get the schoolroom cleaned up. It has become a clutter room and not a good use of space. I have books, papers, toys, and just stuff everywhere. I really would like to take as many books out and keep mostly what we are using but I don't know where to put all the 'extra' books. Right now I'm putting them in boxes but after that, I am not sure where to put them. I don't want to put them in the garage because it gets so hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The above picture is what my schoolroom looked like when I entered this morning. My goal with this bookshelf is to put all our current school stuff here, in one place.  I need to clear off this desk so Caleb can do school here. He loves having his own spot. I originally wanted this bookshelf to be my Thinking Tree shelf but the journals were too heavy and the shelf was bowing. Instead, I am putting the curricula that I need to go through, that I might use this coming year or next. Curricula

Lamp + Light High School

Image
This year with Lance (8th), Ethan (1th), Brent (11th), and maybe Caleb (12th) I decided to use Lamp + Light Homeschool curriculum. I haven't actually received the guide yet but I do have the four-week sample so I'm gathering my books and supplies. Thankfully I do have many of the books. Here is what we are using for Volume 1/Year 1 -I'll put an asterisk * next to books that I am adding but is not part of Lamp + Light Homeschool. In this post, I will share the tracks we will use with L+L Required DVDs or to stream (Netflix/Amazon): The Bible Season 1 - Core Text or in this case a series =) The Word audio dramatized Bible -  OT recommended but not required -(we might purchase this) Superbook Season 1: In the Begining (part of History) Book List (required core text): I'm not exactly sure when or what subject these are scheduled in (I'm thinking as part of the history may be) but once I have the guide I'll label accordingly. With that said, the four-week sample
