Because a tidy space = a calmer brain when you're homeschooling. These organizing essentials will help lessen the chaos of all those daily lessons, craft time, and everything in between. I love smart storage like plastic bins with removable inserts f...
My absolute favorite storage container for all my homeschool things! I love that I can fit so many things in the bottom compartment and switch it out as needed, but the top compartment holds all my every day favs that I like to keep handy.

Another great option for a homeschool supply storage container. Adding this one too in case you just want one to organize supplies and don't need the extra compartment at the bottom.

YoeeJob 11 Holes Clear Poly Envelope Binders
A compact paper cutter that I feel safer keeping in my house than the traditional, giant paper cutters you might be used to! Cuts great and the company sells replacement blades when you need them (but you won't for a longgg time).
