Thank for the reminder that you don’t have to have everything perfect before you start. Can you please share what math curriculum you use? We are finishing up our second grade math curriculum and we would like to try something different for third grade. We found a few mistakes in the math curriculum and the way it explained certain concepts was confusing for my daughter. Thank you

Once again, this was SO encouraging ❤ Thank you for sharing. I always enjoy watching your videos.

Lovely! When you read aloud, what do your kids usually do? Do they draw or play? Or just sit and listen? I have little kids (7 and under) and I can never tell if they’re paying attention when I read aloud a chapter book!

So much wisdom I thank you so much for this video 😊 We are still beginners here, but have definitely found our home with five in a row and I can see what you mean by sticking with a curriculum. It also makes my life easier as well. Although it’s very tempting to hop around to try to find the perfect one, but perfect does not exist.

This was helpful! If you're still interested in switching up your science curriculum, you may enjoy Science Shepherd! I recently discovered them, and so far we really enjoy it! It's a mix of video and light bookwork!

So needed this. Thank you

I know a lot of others have already said this, but it's so true, this video was just what I needed and SO encouraging. My oldest is going into 6th grade this year, and that has been a huge eye-opener of how fast the time is going, and to really start prioritizing the things that truly matter. Thank you for this!! ❤❤

Thanks for the reminder again about sticking to the one curriculum has benefits long term. I remember listening to you saying that at the start of the year when we were trying to find a math curriculum that worked for our family, and it so resonated with me. I wanted those benefits too. Thanks for sharing this message. 😊

Yes! What you said about curriculum!

I have found having 2 boys of my own and 2 girls to be a different outcome in some respects. My son's are the oldest and the middle. And yes they are full of energy. But they love coloring and art projects too. My youngest son loves to be outside, he's 4, and if he could dig all day he would. I'm wondering though, what to do when my 8yr old son is so distracted that he won't do anything at all, he just freezes all day. Any tips? (One thing I think that helped was his comfort level in the work that he's doing.) For example in the summer he has been practicing reading and speed drills in math and finally starting to love the challenge. Going from 2 hours to 40 mins to almost 15min. The very first time he had ever done them though he only took 15 min he regressed immensely. I'm not sure why? I'm sure from something I did, but I just don't know what? Pushed too much? I asked my son how I thought he was doing in reading and maybe because I push him so much he thought not so well I was shocked and told him he's doing excellent. How do you not push? My youngest son loves the push he's riding his bike before his oldest sister. Thank you for your video it was very helpful. I'm very inspired by your big beautiful family.❤😊🙏🕊️

I like that list. We are very like-minded.

Love this! Just found you and am marathoning your channel Now! Thank you 🌺

It looks beautiful!!! Great job. I always look forward to your videos/inspiration.

You are doing such a great job!!! Thank you for modeling beautiful motherhood to us!!!! You are a gem 💎 🤍

I am very overwhelmed by the thought of teaching my six year old to read and I am about to have a C-section for baby #6 and need something super simple and non overwhelming for me. I had originally thought I was going to use a program called All About Reading but while it looks very good it’s just more than I can take on and handle right now. I’d love to know more about how you teach reading! How do you teach reading other books beyond the Bob books? Do you do sight word teaching? Can the other sets beyond the 5 original Bob books be beneficial for learning to read also?

This was so nice to listen to as I am thinking our upcoming school year. Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom with others. 😊

How do you also stay so fit and lean and work fitness into your routine?

I love the aesthetic you have in your home. It's very classic and comfy.

Glad I'm not alone! Luckily ours is in a cabinet so I can just shut the door and ignore it most of the time lol

I was just thinking i need to do a refresh. All of our school stuff is in our living room and it gets out of hand quick. And we can totally relate to the books, half of ours are on the floor. I need to go through and get rid of some so they can fit on the shelves lol

Your prints are really pretty!😊

Yes, we definitely all have spaces that need some help!😊

15min passing by so quickly, always a weekly delight! Thank you and congratulations on the editing, I find it really good. I love your content but also the way you make your videos.

❤ beautiful 😍

Your spaces are so cozy. Love those vintage posters.

Must be financially stable in a great way. We cnt even manage 2 kids expenses easily.. nice house nice big family.. what a blessing ❤

You and your family are so inspiring ❤

Ooooh my goodness...you have no idea how much I needed this video! You literally JUST popped up in my feed for the very first time! I subscribed now! Thank you again!

Great video! I need to update our chore chart as well before school starts and since we now have older kids and more kids!

Free time is inspiring, I like that and agree 100%. Thank you for sharing what you prioritize! I'm happy for you for the freedom you have where you live. Here in Switzerland my children will have to be tested every year even though I'm a teacher and I have some obligations to respect (the study plan of our area needs to be followed). Nonetheless I'm grateful I get the chance to homeschool because in France for example (we live at the border) homeschooling is no longer allowed. :( I'm excited about your next video on "back to school". :) God bless you!

Thank you very helpful video as I’m starting to homeschool my 5 and 3 year old this year! Love your channel!

I needed to hear this. Thank you. Crazy how much pressure there is on us

Thank you!

❤ thank you for taking the time to make this video. It has blessed me!

Love your husband's shirt in this video!

So glad we found your channel 😌 We're a Homeschooling, Homesteading Christian Family in Pennsylvania as well ☺️💛🥰 Love Always and GOD Bless Y'all 💕🙏🏼, Stephanie 🙋🏼‍♀️

This summer our homeschool was “learning how to move and how to cope with new situations.”

As usual - cooking dinner & being encouraged ❤ thanks friend! You’re a gift

Awesome video!

Thank you Sheri ❤ this is my 4th year homeschooling and i doubt myself often. Your videos are so encouraging

Thank you for this video. What is your girls CZcams channel?

Thank you for this reminder!! It can be so overwhelming for us out here just starting out and not knowing what we are doing for sure!! You have so much wisdom and grace; I look forward to your videos every week. So thankful for your channel. 🖤 I am also looking forward to your video about the clean out and organization. It is always so helpful to see what everyone else is doing. We need some inspiration and motivation to do it too!!

HALLELUJAH thank YOU JESUS our LORD GOD ALMIGHTY KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS ✝️💖🙏🏼 GOD bless you guys, the amazing videos you are doing are very relaxing and interesting, may JESUS CHRIST our HOLY LORD GOD MOST HIGH continue blessing your family and providing for you and protecting you always! ✝️💕🙏🏼

I agree about the sports / scheduled events (even things like Boy Scouts). It takes up so much time! We started with these things with my first born and then I would feel horribly guilty because he would miss spending time at the playground... Why am I spending money for scouts if he just wants to go to the playground? We quit it all! It has been so much more peaceful and enjoyable.

Do you have any tips on how you teach science to multiple ages? My oldest is an advanced 9 year old that does great with apologia...but it's a little too advanced for my 6 and 4 year old. I'd love to teach science all together as a family. We also have a homestead so they learn a lot about animals and gardening naturally.

This is just what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing.

I needed this! Thank you.

(Momma to 11, married 22 years) We love going shopping as a family. It creates really good opportunities for the kiddos to spend time with us away from the house other than church and the library. It’s no easy task, but so worth it and everyone always has a good time together.

I still haven't figured out how to do morning time and our basics(math and language arts) all in the same day. It seems to be either or. I have one independent student and 2 that are depending completely on me

I love that the things you prioritize are very similar to what I feel is important when it comes to homeschooling. I was also a teacher before I started homeschooling and my priorities have changed so much since the beginning of our homeschool journey. One thing I feel, I definitely need to get better at is really taking the time to listen to my kids and spend time with them that's not homeschooling time. My oldest is any to start middle school, and it was a wake up call to me about how fast time has gone.
