I have several "mistakes" and I just need to be real about it and purge. We'll have less clutter and more room for the things we do use. This is an excellent point.

But there is something about homeschool materials that don't work for us leave us feeling guilty!!! One of the hardest things with buying curriculum goodies is when you make a complete error of judgement. As soon as you realize that you have something that isn't going to work for you just get rid of it: sell it, gift it, pass it on, whatever... or these products will take up valuable space on your school shelf and make you feel guilty every time you shuffle them to and fro. We have made mistakes over time and for years climbed through math manipulatives to get to our workbooks that we use every day... Finally I got rid of the mistakes - wow, talk about decluttering and making space for the things we do use. It wasn't just the physical decluttering it was a cloud of guilt staring at us everyday was removed - lovely!!! Now I get rid of our odd mistakes as soon as I discover them and don't let them build up!!! I so agree about “mistakes,” we all make them!
