I was just reading this article and these are my thoughts for my later consideration.
We carry everything with us just in case. Simplify, lighten the load. Those things that we prepare for so diligently won't likely happen and in the meantime the weight of them causes us stress. Deal with them when they happen and not before. Sometimes they turn out to be simpler to deal with than we thought.
Applies to life and to homeschooling.
