You might have a curriculum buying problem if...

[Boobah]

You've only been homeschooling a year and a half and you just had your husband move 5 (large) boxes of homeschool type books to the basement...

Aaand you have me beat. Haha!

Quoting KrissyKC:

it took 28 boxes to pack my first school room and move... i had only been schooling for 1 yr by then.   LOL!

[Boobah]

I decided to get rid of all the character type books because, basically, they are just crappy. (Sorry) so that has helped. I'm in a purging stage in my life because I want to move, and I do not want to take all this stuff with me. (Character like Disney, Dora, etc)

Quoting paris2lmp:

I'm new to homeschooling and don't necessarily have this issue with curriculum books....at least not yet.  BUT I am a book collecter/hoarder in general.  I have a really really hard time letting go of books.  In this last move we cleared out our storage unit and I had all my book boxes together in one place for the first time in a few years.  I could literally start my own library!  And STILL I can't convince myself to get rid of any of them!

LOL

I have a few sculptures right now of books. I am sorting out the books we have used and need to sell and making sure I have the books I need for next year. I have them all over the place!

 I don't have many character books.  When my oldest was little we joined a disney book club so we have a few from that, and I intentionally collect little golden books (mostly the older ones though) so there are a couple mixed into that collection too.  I have quite a few of the classics too (Alice in Wonderland, Peter Rabbit etc)....and then many many many other books from about junior high level and on up.

What do you have that you are looking to sell? :-)

[lifesadream83]

I am pretty bad too.. and what is worse is the curriculum that I bought... decided not to use & sold... only to repurchase it again a few months later!  Imma nut what can I say.  

Also dd#2 is 10weeks old... I have all her curriculum for K-4th Grade except for math because that will be $250 that I cannot justify spending 5 years in advance LOL.  Mind you I have only been homeschooling my oldest since 2nd grade so I did justify the rest!  

When I purchased dd8's 4th grade stuff for next year I purchased all the workbooks and back supplies I need for my youngest!  

I probably have what would equate to an Ikea expedit 4x4 shelving unit in homeschool materials.  Then there are books that are just fun that take up a billy bookcase.  LOTs of Homeschool stuff!  Unlike you I cannot part with it though we are in love LOL

[debramommyof4]

 I have a room dedicated to homeschool stuff.  But it has overflowed into my bedroom.

[Boobah]

So much! Lol I'm hoping to find somewhere to list it all so I can post a link. Saxon. Horizons, handwriting without tears, r.e.a.l. Science odyssey (life, and earth and space) the Charlotte mason series, Charlotte mason companion, outdoor secrets, hours in the out of doors.... I have a ton more.
