Dana, this is just too cute, too precious, inspiring and beautiful.

Soon we will be downsizing, too. I am totally convinced that even with 4 kids, we don’t need this much space. (and yes, I need less areas to clean!)

Your post just reaffirms our choice. Love the last sentence.

This is great! We live in just under 200 square feet (two bedrooms and a main room, no bathroom yet) and I can see using the whole house as a learning center, as well, once we start.

PS. King of the Wind was my FAVORITE book when I was young!

We have those same tv trays and dd insists on using them for her “desk”. How funny! We also had to get rid of our beautiful big table that was great for spreading out everything. I do desire to someday have a school area, but for now, we do it all over the place.

Blessings,

I love your homeschool day… it looks so fun and full of life! Your kids are beautiful. I really miss those younger days of homeschool life.

Thanks for visiting my blog… stop by again any time!

The camp in looks like so much fun! I always enjoy seeing pictures of your kids.

And I think the TV trays are a great idea. We have a small coffee table that is often strewn with books, but my husband doesn’t like it in the middle of the room. It impairs dancing with his little girls.

I love the TV tray idea! We have a school room but we tend to do school all over!

Oooh, thanks for the inspiration. We live in less then 900 sq ft too. How many bedrooms do you have? We have 2 girls, but I can’t imagine what to do if we have more kids and are still here. How do you do it? Love the tea party pic!

No, we really had to get rid of our kitchen table. I loved it because it was big, but in this house it just didn’t work.

LOVED THIS!

Did you really get rid of the kitchen table or stop using it for homeschooling?

My kitchen table is my art studio, my sewing table, where we eat three meals as a family, where some holidays and birthdays are celebrated with cake and/or meals, and where many a homeschool support group meeting was held. I could not live without my kitchen table!

We don’t have a “home school room”, we do things all over the house.
