Hi everyone! I wanted to do something fun and unusual today, so I made a homeschool room tour video to share with you all!
I’m so sorry, it turned out kind of long, so I had to break it up into two parts. But for those of you interested in seeing our room “live” so to speak, grab a cup of coffee (you’ll need it to stay awake) and join me on a tour of our homeschool room!
Also, keep in mind this is my first real video…um. yeah…just keep that in mind ;o) and it ended up being really long! Sorry I’ll try to talk less in future videos LOL!

Thanks for sharing all of that–it’s very helpful! By the way, even my kids enjoyed watching these videos! I started watching, and they drifted in here to watch with me and begged to see the 2nd one. 🙂
Loved it!!! Thank you!
Amazing post! I could watch your videos for hours! They are so detailed and I’m totally inspired! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! I don’t know how you do all that you do!
Thank you so much for sharing and for all of the additional resources you provide!
Thanks for sharing…it is always interesting to see how different families are able to organize all the stuff needed to homeschool.
p.s. there are handcuffs on the ground under your kids desk 🙂
LOL! I know, they’re Turbo’s play ones, I was hoping no one would notice haha! No I don’t chain him to his chair!
Thank you so much for sharing!!
Great posts, thanks for sharing!
Fun!!! I got to do a video tour for TOS magazine last year but they limited me to 5 minutes or something lame. lol
Love your room. Ours is filled with Ikea too.
Erica, This was a great post! Thanks for sharing in a video. I started watching it to see what all you had and my 7 yr old daughter came by and stopped and watched the whole thing with me! At the end when you said “hope you enjoyed it” my daughter said “Yes I did!” She is definitely an organizer – like me!! This is our first year of homeschooling and finding your blog has been an encouragement to me. Thanks again. Tricia
Hi Erica,
Absolutely amazing! You did NOT talk too much–I could have heard more! Thanks for sharing it all. I hope to apply some of it to our home!
