I just started homeschooling this year and every time I get a catalog it is dog-eared by the time I finally decide to throw it away!<BR/> <BR/>I use the library for the books they can get me but for those rare treasures it's hard not find a space in the budget. I need new bookshelves!Kim M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13350087402141300950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163008944016056003.post-65353174828422880042009-01-08T10:12:00.000-08:002009-01-08T10:12:00.000-08:00Ours is the opposite story. During the "Dark Ages...Ours is the opposite story. During the "Dark Ages" of my life experience things were so bleak as to deny my love of reading - and it impacted our household by way of lack of books I owned. A far cry from my previous bright days of owning and reading absolutely everything in sight . . .<BR/><BR/>Fast forward to my husbands' arrival in our lives. "Where are the books?" he queried.<BR/><BR/>I broke down in tears. Even though the dark ages had passed, I'd not emotionally allowed my heart the freedom to enjoy books once again.<BR/><BR/>Our library is currently a work in progress ~ and love.<BR/><BR/>:DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265615183804178890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1163008944016056003.post-77119426476616604232009-01-08T08:11:00.000-08:002009-01-08T08:11:00.000-08:00Oh, to have space!

My oldest is only 3yo, and I already have 10 things (workbooks, puzzles, teaching guides) for starting preschool at home. If I buy anything more it would have to take up precious space on MY desk, and that just won't do. Someday... When I have a house... I will indeed have a full library, but that will be a room dedicated to my vast collection I have stored in boxes right now, and it will have a nice (large) section for home schooling my children. If you ever feel like passing anything on, let me know!
