Today, we are taking a day to clean out the bedrooms and homeschool area. I am blessed with kids who are easily overwhelmed by clutter, seems that it isn’t a trait that only affects our autistic son. 🙄
It is amazing now much it can influence the productivity each day. The house isn’t too bad, we just realize that we have more than we need. For the kids, it is harder to maintain their bedroom and play areas. By cutting their toys and such down to what they actually play with, they will be able to enjoy their play time and not feel overwhelmed when it’s time to clean up.
I am clearing out the homeschool area. I see no benefit to keeping so much. Books and supplies that we are not going to be using this term or next term are being purged out of the house. Some will be donated, depending on the condition. Rest of it will be trashed. I know that some readers may be hyperventilating at the thought. Homeschool families are in general are a hoarding lot when it comes to educational materials. I know many families who have rooms with walls of filled bookcases. It works for them. It doesn’t work for us. We prefer the simplicity of only storing what is necessary.
Little Miss is completely embracing the clean out. She has attacked her area with gusto. She is so happy about it as well. Her whole demeaned over the project is light.
I can’t wait for the project to be done. Once these areas are complete, I will be doing the same to every other room. Loving it!!!
