Have you ever thought about becoming a minimalist homeschool family?
Would you like to have less to clean, less to do, more time, and more joy?
Learn how having less and leaning toward minimalism can improve your life.
What Does Minimalism Have to Do With Homeschooling?
You might be wondering what minimalism has to do with homeschooling. Well, you know that raising and educating your children is a full-time job. And the last thing that busy homeschooling parents need is more stuff to pick up, clean, and organize.
The reality is the the less you have, the less you have to do. And when you have less stuff, you’ll have more time for the people and activities you care about. That means you’ll have more time to to be with your kids and make sure they get the educaiton they deserve.
For most people, minimalism has little appeal. However, if you take a moment to drop your objections and entertain this idea, you might discover that simply leaning toward minimalism could be life-changing.
Learning about minimalism might be the beginning of a new way of living.

Minimalism Is More
As you begin seeing minimalism as MORE time, money, space, connection, and ultimately life, it becomes easier to release items that add little value to your life.
By shopping and owning less, I have less to clean, organize, and eventually eliminate. With less stuff, I have more time to get outdoors, be with my family, and do the things that matter to me.
For me, having fewer items results in more time for who and what matters to me. I would love to help you find more time for who and what matters to you!
