Its very nice to see a calm mother watching over her kids as they accomplish new tasks. So many moms today hurrying here & there.
God bless your home!
That’s what struck me the most too. I’m a SAHM of 4 also homeschooling and I feel like I’m always so busy. This encouraged me to slow down and be calm. To really be present.
Wow this is just AWESOME!!!!!!! I am a retired public school art teacher. I believe unschooling is the way to go...children learn the most when they have a facilitator such as yourself!!! You are AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!❤️
Yeah - until their adults and their only skill is homesteading!
@@sierrachoco5271 being unschooled gives you a better chance at learning life skills and things you NEED to know. Rather then half the useless things you are taught in public school.
@@sierrachoco5271 I bet they were better prepared for a pandemic than the average person. I agree with Kayla that you don't use half of the things public school teaches. At least these kids know life skills and self motivation that most adults lack in life. Don't be so closed minded.
@@gingycat4279 Not closed minded, just a realist!
@@Kayyllaa_t what useless stuff ? Like science? Mathematics?
I'm a teacher. And a mother. We prepare our kids for the real world (where things like computer literacy matters) not the ideal world
Now THIS is how you parent and teach kids. Watching this made my day!! Thank you!!
I absolutely admire how your children behave and interact with one another. So responsible and disciplined I feel like thats rare to see on many family channels here on youtube.
The grumpy face in the beginning had me hooked lol blessings to your family
How lovely it is to see well disciplined children who help out with no complaints! It is especially lovely to see well disciplined children being treated with dignity and respect. I think you are doing a great job with educating them overall. You make learning fun. I love how supportive you are in helping them develop their individual interests and talents. They are going to grow up to be well rounded, productive, confident members of society. I don't often see attentive parents. Sadly most people plant a child in front of a tv or hand them a cellphone instead of actually engaging with them and parenting properly. :)
This touched my heart and encouraged me. Thank you. There is so much emphasis on how draining and difficult motherhood is and it’s just great to see such a wonderful example. Motherhood is indeed hard but the Lord is really speaking to me to have an attitude of gratitude and enjoying my kids rather than just thinking of how I can get to “what I want to do...”. Lord help me be the mom you want me to be.
I honestly wish to I could be raised in this environment. I have big dreams of becoming an artist but my community always puts things like mathematics and science first.
Love seeing Grace sew!! I used to make dresses with matching purses for my daughter when she was young. Grace is a wonderful seamstress!!
I’ve decided recently to unschool my son, this video is so pure and also helpful for me as well. You have a beautiful little family and Jesus’s light shines in your soul, blessed. Thanks for the video ♥️
Your little one's face in the intro is so adorable! He's done!
I had an "unschooling" year during what would be considered my sophomore year of high school. It's so interesting to see how other parents and guardians set up homeschool and unschooling for their children. Wishing you all the best! Y'all have a beautiful family ❤
I thought it was stressful having two babies! Your home feels very lovely. I do wish my time as a child could have been spent like this. Now I’m wishing for more time as an adult to learn things that interest me. You are doing an amazing job.
Oh my, I was so impressed with Levi making biscuits! He is a big helper.
No kidding, my kids... so tried having them cook and I got so much anxiety they haven’t set foot in there again 😳 I have only 3 I can’t imagine having all my kids be able to cook
How fortunate your children are to be homeschooled! They learn a much broader ciriculum than those in public schools!
I'm a mother of 5, it's so inspiring to see such responsible, and polite children. Great Job!
Such a blessing. Reminds me of when I grew up. My mom raised 6 of us. 🙂
Your Levi is a terrific worker! He always seems to be wherever an extra pair of hands is needed!
Praying for an easy delivery and healthy baby and as smooth a transition into your new normal with a newborn 💕🌼lots of love and many blessings your way
What a patient and encouraging facilitator! 💜
Enjoying this channel for the first time today. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
your daughter can sew better than me and I’ve got many more years on her.. sad yet so beautiful.
thanks for sharing
I enjoy watching you you and your family you are very organized and I love seeing all the children pick out there projects and interests! Thanks for sharing! God bless you all!
What a beautiful family. Thank you so much for sharing your day with us.
Amazingly well behaved children. So peaceful and calm.
I love this - thank you. I only have 3 kids but we are doing a lot of the things you guys are doing. So cool!
So glad you have the CZcams channel now as well! Hallo from Marle from Lesotho Life🤗
Oh my goodness, this blesses my heart so much. Seeing all those kids working… And the girls in their dresses💕💕💕 So great. I’m a grandma now but I had all my kids doing individual responsibilities like this
It’s always a pleasure to spend time with you and your family.❤
May HE shine HIS FACE upon you!!!
Shalom from Florida 🕊🪔🕊
I teach high school history. It would shock you how unprepared some public school kids are. It warms my heart to see a parent that really cares about their children's education. Believe me, it is getting harder every year. I have at least 3 kids right now that can barely read and are not considered LD. It's unreal how offended their parents get when I call them in to say that I, unlike some other teachers, will not be graduating them until I can be sure they actually know the material. I have been threatened with lawyers, etc! It's crazy how a parent can only care if the child gets through school. Not what they actually know. Bless you for caring about your kids. I see so many that do not!
Love the way you are having them learn different birds.
Just found this channel, subbed, but really my kids are grown so I am seeing how I should have done things. I am amazed how much you know about making everything from scratch and let the children be so involved. What a great family. What would I have chosen to learn if I could have been homeschooled? Your my hero.
I am so impressed. You are such a sweet momma and your kids are just lovely 😍
I wish i would be more like you. I feel i am not doing it right... the whole homeschooling thing.
My children are very well-behaved like this. It’s nice to have a peaceful household. This helps me to see all the possibilities of great learning! It reminds me of how I ran my Pre-K classes in the past. You figure out what they like, set up the environment and FACILITATE.
Unschooling done right! Great job! Very helpful video. Thanks for posting it!
I absolutely love this. So inspiring. I hope I can do this with my children, I just don't think I'm good enough!
I hope my daughter can learn to sew like that God bless you and your family! 🌹🌺💐🌷🌸
You are an amazing mom and lady ! ❤️ i dont know how you do what you do ! great that your gracious on yourself ❤ 😊
I loved this!! Thanks for sharing your morning routine :)
I wish this, to have kids and teach them basic things like cooking, sewing, etc.
God bless you and your family!!
Thanks so much for your videos! Your parenting style is very inspiring 😊
Omg looking back at them from now they are so cute, adorable and little.
I love homeschooling. Thank you for the idea of sewing. Love your channel
I absolutely loved this video and it gives them so much hope for unschooling my boys.
Your family is amazing. 💗
What an amazing mom you are!
So you have 6 children and another on the way,that's what you call hard work so well done !!!
You and your children are amazing. Wow. So beautiful.
This is sooooo wonderful and encouraging ! Thank you 💞🤗🙌💗
Just recently discovered your channel... I am so glad to see that you encourage your children even on non school days. I have watched some home school channels and those children don't seem to be as advanced. Some don't even pass the 8th grade level. As a help to the biscuit makers... I saw where instead of cutting them out in circles, while the dough is still whole, cut them in squares, less "waste".
Very impressed at the skills your children have it such a young age. I always had mine in the kitchen helping too.
Such a fun glimpse into your daily life. My little girl would love to have your daughter's sewing skills (and dresses!) I tried in vain to convince a seamstress neighbor to teach my daughter to sew, but sadly she only commented that 9 years old was too young. Looking forward to watching more of your videos! Thank you.
I gave my girls my old sewing machine, fabric and such and they watch youtube videos of very simplistic tutorials. They are.learning!! Check out Brenda Size she makes.cute things out of socks!
You are all inspirational
So soothing to watch 😊💖
Great! I love that you use unschooling to your benefit, within a framework. Have your children ever played "Bird Memory"? If they like identifying birds, they might enjoy it. I was able to recognize a Cedar Waxwing, never having seen one before, because of this game!
John john was NOT ready for the camera lol too cute
You have amazing children. You are the calmest and most cheerful mom. God bless you. You look very tired ad i am sure you are at this stage if your pregnamcy.
Very cute. This is how I like for it to flow with my family.
I'd love to know what the bird guide was you were using in this video. Not the coloring book but the guide book that was standing up. Such a great video, I love the peak into this aspect of homeschooling! Thank you for sharing with us.
Wow you're very brave, and seemingly successfull!❤
I love Dover coloring books as well! 😍
David and his hats....so cute
Beautiful family.
So good!!
Your kids are very advanced! Impressive. Cute too!
God gave y'all to me this morning! Hi! I loved watching your family! God is so good to me! You have blessed my day! I am a homeschooling Grandma with 2 granddaughters whom I have custody of. I also fell and broke my hip a couple weeks ago! Sure had to switch things up here, lol!!! You seem to have it all under control! I sure don't, but I keep trying! Jesus loves you!!! love and hugs from Texas!!!
How are you?
@@aprilhutchens2105 Hi! Thanks for asking! I'm blessed! God is good! Not sure why He allowed this to happen, but who knows? Maybe its so I can tell all those the have helped me, in the medical field, that Jesus Loves them and that He died for them and that He rose again on the third day! according to the scriptures!!! Salvation is a free gift from God, not of works, lest any man should boast! Love and hugs to yo u in the Georgia Mountains from East Texas Dear Sister!!!
New here! I'm homeschooling only 2 kids but always looking for ideas.
Hope all your little ones are thriving today.
I grew up on hand me downs. Only new clothes were gifts from birthdays and holidays like Easter and Christmas and a few things for school. Some of the hand me downs were nicer than the new clothes we bought. Probably someone else's relative bought quality stuff.👌
I would love to see what type of discipline you use in your home, your children are very well behaved. ❤
The best example, caring and patient parents, sets the tone of loving children.
I have seen some videos on unschooling i really don't agree with BUT this I can get onto. The kids aren't laying around doing nothing, they are actually learning!!
Excellent video!
Awesome video I’m Portuguese it’s a Beautiful language
This is great! The children Going to be very self sufficient. All going start off with The Bible Lesson. You also have farm animals.? God bless your family.
Lovely. I also have an 11 yo David who loves computers!
I enjoyed how you showed how your kids work on there golds.
Levi has won my heart he is adorable to the nth degree..They are all wonderful but I just have a soft spot for Levi lol

Enjoyed this so much! Where do you get the girls dresses? They a adorable and my daughter would love some like that
These were a gift from a friend
@@threerivershomestead the kids do there chores so well. i think with the economy we are all going to need to learn to homesteading and raise animals and make our own projects. love the crafts for the kids. your heading in the right direction
I'd love to know this too!
I would love your squash muffin recipe
I tried this with my son . I put him back in school because he was lonely and we weren’t getting along. The school has to test him for them to know what grade to put him in. He didn’t do well on the placement test to enter fifth grade . So , he is behind two grades . I regret so much keeping him home . We did do school but he still was very behind and became a little introverted. Never again!
It definitely doesn't work for every child or parent. We all have to do what works best for our particular situation. Some children fall behind and some can work ahead grade level. Without siblings at home I could see it being very lonely for a child.
@@threerivershomestead
I agree .
Have faith that it will all work out in the end - if he tests behind by two grades, my guess is that there was already a problem that the public school system hadn’t detected.
I’m in my first year of homeschooling my middle schooler, and I’ve learned a LOT about where the public (and charter) schools failed her. She was bright enough to get average standardized test scores despite the major gaps, and she had decent grades so I had no idea there were issues until I started working with her. All that to say, don’t feel guilty for trying homeschooling- it may have been the best thing for your son because it raised your awareness of his needs. The trick is staying involved now as his advocate instead of just trusting the teachers to help him, who is just one of likely 20+ students in the class.
@@threerivershomestead My daughter was an only child by choice, no homeschooling as she would have been extremely lonely. She had church and Sunday school and Bible school, library, but needed interaction with friends. ♥
@@username00009 Great comment! Very encouraging! 😊
Thank you for the video!
Honestly it seems like you found the perfect balance. Wish I could do this for my kids! I am just not sure I am the right type for it. ( I am very demanding of myself and everyone around and I dont want to push my children too hard but I dont know how to control myself)
First step is acknowledging your weaknesses.
Where did you get that sewing machine for your daughter? My 9 year old would love that, she is always making dresses for her dolls :)
New subbie!!
my best muffin or loaf is pumpkin /zucchini mix i get a couple pumpkin in the fall and boil them and freeze them so when its cold out i can have that great smell and no one believes me when i say i put zucchini in it lol
Mavis Beacan is a great tool for learning keyboard for beginners and it also has great typing games for all ages.
your Levi makes better biscuits than i do LOL. so great to see all the children working so hard. :)
is so funny (He looks like he just woke up - LOL)
You are wonderful leader amazing mother and very kind with lot's of knowledge and wisdom , you do know how to guide your children to the right direction and safe path ,
Your girls are amazing and very helpful and kind and the boys are great and fantastic .
Overall your children all so clever and learning very good and quick .
God bless you all and be in your home and protect you and all your family .
I have a baby John too! ❤️
This is silly to ask...but where did you get that dress?? lol I have seen it in a few of your vids.
❤️
Your 6 kids made less of a mess than my 2 kids 9 and 3 oh my gosh I'm having such a hard time I have to pull my children out of public school and unschool them .My daughter is so rebellious and bad please pray for us
The fact that you called your child bad in the comment section of a youtube video is very concerning. No children are inherently bad. I wish her the best in life
-A 'bad' child who turned out fine, but also has mental illnesses related to parenting issues
@@doxiebacon I understand why you would think its bad parenting i would of to before I had to deal odd disorder God bless you and your family
Good mama
How old are the younger boys? I thought Levi was about 4 but my 5 year old said 3 🙂
Levi will be 5 in April and John will be 3 in March
Thank you for sharing this glimpse of your life! I would love to have multiple children and be able to homeschool them - alas, I only have one middle schooler.
If you’re looking for a cheap, effective way to teach typing, I’m using the Mastering Computer Typing book by Sheryl Lindsell-Roberts. We had used various game methods in the past (both at home and through school), but they didn’t work for my daughter. She can type quickly, but she doesn’t use proper finger placement. The book gives me more control, effectively slowing her learning, whereas the fast game-based methods simply served to reinforce her bad habits.
Y not use skill share it will help all of u
It seems your children have life skills. Are they academically at a level appropriate for their ages?
Yes, although I guess that's subjective. If you mean appropriate in terms of where they would be in a public school setting? Yes and no. In some subjects they are a grade or two above grade level. I have one child who struggles with reading and is one grade below in just that subject, but above in math. I let my kids work at their own pace and we school year-round, which means we are all over the place in terms of "grade level". But my 13 year old will be starting dual enrollment college courses in 2022 if that is any indicator.
I was unschooled and always pretty much a grade ahead except in math (which I caught up in during a summer), my sister and I did college at 16 dual enrollment as well
Jesus Christ is King and is coming soon… John 3:16 “For God so loved the World he gave is only begotten son(Jesus Christ) and whosoever believes in shall not perish but have everlasting life.” This is a sign from God to come back to him and repent. Repent meaning turn away from sins and give your life to Jesus. Jesus died so that you can have a chance to live with him in peace and pure bliss instead of going to eternal torment in hell. Jesus loves you so much. Read the Bible and learn more about him. God bless you🙏🏾
