Homeschool Room Supply Organization

File Boxes with Student Notebooks~Take 3.2 on Workbox Modification
A couple of years ago, I put together File Boxes as modified Workboxes. That really worked, but somehow, I stopped using them.

Here I share about my world. My world as a stay at home homeschooling
mother, christian, wife, woman, child of God. It is about my life as a farmer’s wife, as a cook, a baker, a nurse, a teacher, a woodworker, a housekeeper, a farmer (yep, I drive tractors, pick up hay bales, and other farm duties), a gardener. So, what you read here, is me, as a transparent sometimes hot headed, passionate, and opinionated person. -
