I just love you!!! I don’t play the game. Like you, I refuse to make CZcams about consumerism! I only SUPPORT THE PURCHASES OF BOOKS HAHAHAHA. Please keep showing up here in the MOST AUTHENTIC WAY you can. It’s needed! We don’t need anymore basic people on here, we need DEPTH. And you bring that. So please don’t let the algorithm stop you!!!
I just found your channel through FallCo Family! Love it! I am a new subscriber. Loved your read aloud one and African American is American history video! ❤️
Love the Fall Co Family too!
It is so lovely to find you..someone who is not bothered about CZcams algorithm but to share love and knowledge.
I loved when you said we are not to be conformed to this world. Continue to let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven! ❤️ Thanks again for another great video
You’re such an amazing mother. I could only wish for such a childhood. Your kids are so happy. As a lifelong lover of knowledge and education, I think you’re just awesome.
YES! This was the main reason I stopped YT. I was totally over all the consumerism. You said it perfectly, "we are so much more as homeschoolers"! I just love how authentic you are and you continue to keep me inspired. We have always been out of the box as well and have a tremendous LOVE for books. I am not about YT's algorithms either, I will continue to share and use the gifts that Yah has given me too. LOVE you and keep inspiring!
yes...keep sharing! you never know who needs your light :)
I have been homeschooling for over 7 years and I would love to know how to get into a unschooling method, you are by far my favorite homeschooling mom
I love your laugh, your heart, and your boldness. Thank you for being an uplifting voice!
I'm thinking about homeschooling my little one and OMG watching your kids learn and the joy and happiness on their faces and in their demeanor.. ugh my heart, I can't stop smiling to see. This is awesome and just so so inspiring!
Absolutely love watching your family homeschool. Thanks for the inspiration and beautiful cinematography! ❤️
This will be my second year homeschooling and your videos helped me through the first year struggles and they helped with seeing the beauty in homeschooling. So thank you for being authentic!
I've recently found your channel. I love the peace I find here. I don't have Instagram but you make me consider it so I can see more of what your family is up to.
We have been homeschooling since 2005. We started with full curriculum but are now year-round unschoolers. Like you, I still keep track of things more than is necessary with unschooling. We also have a flowing schedule that keeps us on track. Some may not consider us fully unschoolers but it sure feels like it when you let go of those curriculum rules!
Thank you for such a neat place to come to on CZcams. I look forward to more!
Your backyard is beautiful! I love that y’all sit outside and enjoy it.
thank you. its been a great way to love on and appreciate what we have. no pool but plenty of room for a sprinkler so we are choosing to enjoy every bit of it. 💛
To here you say those words, “Patreon to start in the Fall”, makes me so excited and so very happy. I cannot wait to share in that space once again. I love what you stand for and what you share...CZcams would not be the same without you ❤️🌱
Ahhhhh screaming!!! You have blessed me w your channel these past few days ! I love love love how you are staying true to yourself and for your family 😍 I was so lost a few weeks ago when we took the drastic decision to homeschool out 4 y old . Again THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENCE ❤️
Salaam (Peace) ! Ever since I stumbled across your channel I could tell instantly that you are more than a Homeschool influencer. I love that about you and your family. Your are such an inspiration and you often remind me to reflect upon intention and purpose in that it’s about the journey not
The curriculum or the routines or schedules. We won’t remember that but we will remember the atmosphere that we create for ourselves and family and we want to look back on those times with positivity and see real growth in knowledge as well as our growth in relationships and in our spirituality. I’m am looking forward to what’s to come 😊.
this blesses me so 💕💙 hasn't been easy staying true to what I believe in my whole heart but its so nice to receive comments and emails like yours that help drive home the reason we choose to share the way we do. THANK YOUUUUU!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate what you share! I am new to homeschooling, with the pandemic, and your channel inspires me to focus on my children and what they enjoy, over curriculum or standards for learning.
Your cilantro likes cooler weather and will bolt (flower) in hotter temps. You can try to keep it cut back, but once it bolts, you can wait until the seeds are completely developed and you have coriander seeds! You can cut them and hang them upside down to dry the seeds then shake it into a paper bag and they will all just fall off! My kids love to shake them! Store them in a dry cool place for next seasons planting, or plant it in a pot to bring indoors. :)
Love every second of this!!!!! ❤️
Keep being you and being different
It’s exactly what our world needs more of!
Your family is so beautiful and your home seems so peaceful. Love your channel
Our prayers are with you and your wonderful family.Keep going momma! 🥰
Amen to all you said! Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration. God has used your channel to bless our lil home & school. Keep going. Keep living by your own convictions ❤️🙏🏽
Your videos always make me smile. 💜
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and your learning life. I love your videos! 🌈 💛
I have been thinking of this same thing as a homeschool family. The journey goes beyond curriculum picks and reviews.
Personally, I provide so much information outside of curriculum on my CZcams channel, but like you said, if people aren't looking for it (everything outside of curriculum) then our sincere efforts and the time spent seem to be in vain. 😔
We have lost so many homeschooling channels due to algorithms and partnerships (the community of sharing knowledge about mommyhood, faith, parenting, freedom in learning at home, etc seems to almost be gone). The videos are no longer about the journey. It's about curriculum, hauls, discount codes, etc (and yes, those are needed too).
Okay, enough of my soapbox...🤗😉
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and allowing us to enter your space. Together, we can do better. Together, we will be better.
Sadly, I've noticed the same thing too. I will check out your channel as well.
Hi Syreena! I always love the content you share! You always encourage me as I am a stay at home Mom. When I found your channel it brought joy to my day. I love your family! God Bless! Continue the good work!!😏 Michelle😊
The audio for The Water Dancer is beautiful.
Another amazing video! So beautiful I love it
I adore this channel!
Absolutely beautiful family
They are too cute!! Those dimples. 😍
Thank you for sharing your space with us...I am also in YT and moving very slowly. I do believe that what GOD has for YOU...will be for YOU! You don't have to go against your beliefs to gain success. Continue on the journey that GOD has laid on your heart!
You are inspiring, as always 😘
I wish I was a kid again so I can be in your family. The love you created fornyour family is beautiful. God bless you.
Happy Birthday to Savannah! We just took last week off & went to Tennessee & spent time in nature💕 Glad you are thinking about starting Patreon back up, but remember to keep your family #1 & don’t put too much stress on yourself. We love whatever & whenever you share.💕 Did you start harvesting your lettuces/kale?-haha My garden is starting to explode...it’s exciting to see what each day brings. It brings me so much joy! Thanks for the video-have a beautiful day😊
I Love your videos! You inspire me to be a better Homeschool Mom! Ali Lewis
I hope Savannah has a lovely birthday 🎂
Cute! “ If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.” We’re currently reading Charlotte’s Web as a read aloud.
the cilantro flowers will get these tiny seeds, then the plant will look like its dead BUT WAIT eventually, once its completely dry you can shake it and the seeds will fall off. you can then plant them for more cilantro next year!
I wish I would have known this before I uprooted mine. Thanks for sharing.
& not to talk bad about those who have sponsorships or what not, but I’ve watched so many homeschool channels start authentically like you, and then every video became a click bait title with content talking over 10 minutes about a particular product. You get to the point where you’re thinking do you really use that many products every single day in your homeschool life or is this just to get paid? I think if you believe in the product and use it, it’s a beautiful thing for everyone involved, but people definitely get consumed by the sponsorships sometimes.
I love your videos and watching you guys evolve while unschooling. Where did you get the Charlotte's Web addition that Savannah was reading? Do you know if it's still available? Thanks!!
We just did Skittles math and Skittles science this week! I purchased the M’ & M’s unit, too. Lol, more for mom than the kids...
❤️
Hi! Have your kids read "Little Britches" yet? We use Bookshark curriculum and it was one of our read alouds. Great book. Keep up the great work!
You just gotta keep doing you 😀
I love watching your videos and how you and your family move through life and homeschool ❤️. So authentic and real. I do have a question about books you choose for yourself and husband. I start kindergarten homeschool and I have never been a big reader but I want to set an example by reading more myself. Where do you research/look for books for yourself?
Thank you so much!! depends on what sparks your interest. browsing book store websites is my favorite so we start there. 💕💙
I read the water dancer in December and I loved it!!! I’m always reading I’d love to have like book club discussions about it. Are you in or know of any book clubs?
thats so great to know! ive never been in a book club so im not of much help there. im sure if I stumble upon one that peaks my interest ill be sure to share. 💕💙
Sadly, the types of videos you describe does not get views. I watch smaller CZcams channels that share what they want. I have gotten some really awesome ideas on here from smaller CZcams channels. Sadly, many homeschool youtubers aspire to be monetized as opposed to sharing and so they fall into the trap of posting more and more hauls and curriculum videos. I use to post videos sharing our days. We did a lot of science experiments just because that's what interested my son. I didn't have any resources to share because I made my own labs and created my own curriculum from my college text books or research online. However, I wanted to be more respectful of my son's privacy so I privated the videos. I have always been a 'make things work" kind of homeschooler but that came at first out of necessity due to financial restrictions but now as an experienced homeschooler (I've been at this for over a decade), it's plain wisdom. I've considered starting up my channel again because I really want be to document our homeschool journey. I have no interest in fame or free curriculum to clutter up my home.
@Syd homeschools please start back for us new to homeschooling to have more authentic videos to watch, Blessings for you and your family!
Those flowers in the cilantro is what carries the seeds this means you will have seeds for next year, i think you cut them and let them dry then you will have seeds, not sure how you do it but def know those flowers have the seeds.
They're also great cut flowers. Haha. Pollinators love them. You just need to leave the stalks to dry, cut them off, put the flower heads in a paper bag. You can remove the seeds if you want or jus leave them in the bag, give it a shake, and dig through the chaff.
