I think it would be beneficial for kids to learn about the whole world and its history, not just America. Many things are done better in some other countries and learning about that could probably be helpful.
Or a book that tooks about what Hawaiian history for older kids and watch Moana for younger. Since u live there and all ❤
I started watching your videos around 7 years ago when Sandy was still a toddler in diapers. I was a student trying to build a stable situation to grow a family. These days I barely have the time to sit down and watch youtube. I'm a middle school teacher and a mom, and my life is very different from what I had imagined. It gives me very bitter-sweet feelings to see your children all grown, it's a reminder of how fast time goes. Whenever I have the time, I always come back to your channel.
Your time will be better served watching Shane. This female is a class A narcissist. Her kids probably can’t even write a complete sentence without their cell phones. Run AWAYYY
Two months ago, I gave birth to my first baby, and it was the best day of my life. 🙏 Watching your content over the years, I always thought, 'Man, how does she manage it all so gracefully?' Now, as a new mum myself, my respect and admiration for you have grown even more! Kids take up so much time, but it's the most beautiful time. I now understand why you have so many children - the love you feel is truly beyond this world! Sending you hugs from the Canary Islands. 🌴
Congratulations on your new baby! Best wishes with motherhood.
Congrats on your precious child. Ellen has it figured out for sure, sounds like you do too. ❤
I thank her content because it's also been an inspiration and model for me over the years to create something I didn't see before!! Much love from Tenerife :)
Tenerife? Wow the world is small after all hehe@@ichiichi6004
thank you so much!@@user-no2mz9hl4f
If someone would have asked me few years ago what would I'd like to be when I grew up I would have said YOU, I mean you are the reason why I gave birth at home, I became a vegan, I moved to Tahiti, your videos have shown me another way I had no chance to discover without the internet and CZcams. I am forever grateful that a woman from the other part of the world inspired me to choose my own path, my own way of living, without taking care of what people think. Without knowing it, you changed my life. You helped me going for newness and trust my gut that what you were showing was so full of light and common sense. One day I will fly to Hawaï thinking about the fact that you are there, and that from this place on earth you drove me where I am now. Un grand merci from a French new mam, happy 10 years vegan, naturopath, yoga teacher and so much more.
It’s insane how you manage to get such beautiful footage without really showing the faces of your older kids! Well done.. I do miss their faces and personalities a lot, but I totally understand why you do it :) thanks for sharing again a beautiful inspiring video
If they don’t want to show their faces then fine. But then why have them on at all? I don’t get why parents think showing younger kids online is fine but suddenly at a certain age it’s no longer ok. Why is it ok to show younger kids? Do they not deserve privacy? Just cueious
@@nancyfarkas3592
Exactly. I don't get it too.
She mentioned in another video that Elvis (the oldest) didn't want to be in the videos as much@nancyfarkas3592 They are respecting his boundaries
@nancyfarkas3592 older kids can be more easily recognized and there are some really creepy people in the world. Especially those who have these parasocial relationships with people online
@@aimeebee3093 I think you miss the point.
It was because of you and Hannah I started my plant based journey and the reason my body healed and I have my beautiful miracle baby...thank you for sharing your journey and your beautiful family life ❤
BOOK SUGGESTION: The Giver is one that I read around that age as well as my children. There's also a movie to watch afterwards! Such a fun time with them growing and becoming their own selves. Everyone always says you'll miss the babies, but I'm really enjoying my kids even more as they get older ❤
I read this in school and I remember it being an awesome book. I can’t wait to read it to my babies when they grow up!
How is Dagny that big already! 😭 she's walking!❤
The Chronicles of Narnia. It's perfect and i loved reading it when i was a kid
Would love to see a video on what you and your kids eat in a day. Making meals from scratch takes so much time. How do you prepare all the meals for your family, garden, clean and still have time for yourself?
Is it really an Ellen Fisher garden vlog if Sandy doesn't find a friendly bug? Lol! That worm was cute.
How often does family visit? Can you talk at all about the good/bad of being so far from family? How do you feel like it impacts your kids relationships with their cousins/grandparents, etc.?
Every time I notice how straight is your back Ellen. With all everyday chores you really manage to take care of yourself and it's visible. You are an example for other mothers.
Your garden is stunning! It helps scratch my green itch because here in the midwest we are in negative temps and snow on the ground! Love these types of videos from you. You and your family are such an inspiration.
The 90’s version of Little Women is the best! Never fails to make me cry.
Island of the Blue Dolphins is one of my favorite read alouds from my childhood.
can you share more about how you manage homeschooling so many different levels of education, especially when it comes to maths and science topics?
For some homeschool books: i recommend to read ‘the little prince’. Also if they will learn French, you can read it in French later.
For chemistry: “our world in pictures: the periodic table book” from DK. Really nice and amazing even for later homeschool highschool!
Love from a homeschooled teenager from Belgium ❤
I am always so happy to see Moms and Dads read out loud to their children. My mother in law was a teacher; and always stressed the importance of it. Also when the older children can read really well; its good to encourage them to pick a book and read the their younger siblings. Reading out loud is a great skill to practice. A couple of my favorites that i read to my children, was The Secret Garden, The Little House series, The Incredible Journey, Anne of Green Gables. Happy reading!!!!
I agree with everything you said! I absolutely adore the Little House series, and as a 14 year old I wrote my own version of the Ingalls family grown-up. It was read by students in my high school library with the permission of the librarian. I am 59 years old now, and school was a LONG time ago, and I sometimes wonder what happened to my book. As a mother of 5 adult children, I always read aloud to my children, and I loved it. When my grandson was born I started to read to him too and when he was a little older he would sleep with me and I would read at least 5 books, he's about 3 at this time, every night and I always looked forward to it. He and his mother lived with me until he was 10, so we read LOTS of books. Unfortunately he's grown up now and he'll be 19 soon and as my other 4 children have no desire to have children and my daughter only had the one, I no longer have anyone to read to and I miss it! Childhood lasts but for a fleeting moment, and then it's past, and I think parents should stop worrying about the little stuff and ENJOY their children, especially as they are having so few of them. Time is short, and soon you'll blink, and they'll be grown and gone! Take care now.
Anne of Green Gables is my absolute favorite ✨
I grew up on the island of Puerto Rico and coqui’s would sing all night!! I just heard them in the background in this video- the nostalgia 🥰
Beautiful family and life. You’re so right about being present in the moment with our little ones and spouse. Appreciate the here and now and be content where you are at currently. 😊 So many blessings to you! Love your hair! It’s gorgeous ❤
Great video, Ellen and Andrew. Your family is growing and learning together and it's wonderful to see. Your wholesome habits are inspiring- family love, good food, family outings in nature, gardening together... thanks for sharing with everybody.
Love your content ❤ In 2024 I have been searching for more content that fills my cup and so happy I have found your channel that supports slow living, slow fashion, and being yourself please keep the content coming!
The wind in the willows is our all time favorite book to read together and all ages enjoy it. We plan on starting my side of the mountain next for the older kids.
I just want to say : Thank you Ellen !
Your videos are such an inspiration.
I loved to hear what you said about motherhood in your last video.
Thank you.
My gosh, time flies. I still remember watching little Elvis and baby Sandy. Now they're so big🥺 time is a blessing.
That’s too cute that Scout read to Cosmo on FaceTime! I love seeing how you structure your homeschool day! I plan to homeschool my daughter, who is two now, in a few years. We basically already started doing simple lessons..but sometimes I do feel kind of intimidated thinking about the taking on more as she gets older. But seeing how you do it and how your children thrive is always inspiring! ❤️
My older boy (12) really liked the Tuttle twins teen guide books, especially “Beware your Bias”. Homeschool isn’t an option for us so it’s given him eyes to see in school which is incredibly helpful. He can learn stuff at school and question it, especially if it doesn’t seem right to him! Highly recommend for both homeschooled and public schools kids!
It’s always a joy to hear about your homeschooling journey, thank you for sharing Ellen.
One of my favorite books to cover in homeschooling is Fahrenheit 451! Such great conversation topics come up like freedom of speech/the importance of reading/access to knowledge/control/media and more. Also, my son loved The Outsiders, Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm. We are getting ready to read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein now.
Anne of Green Gables was a classic for me! Loved the book and the movie both as a kid and adult 😊
I lived in Hawaii 7 years and miss it now every moment of my life. it gets into your soul forever
It’s awesome to teach your kids to build and know how to create! Love how you all are growing, planting, your food, your garden looks great! Nice job mom and dad! ❤
Love the Tuttle Twins books. We have the entire program. All of the kids love the stories. From my littlest ones to my older ones.
I have truly missed your videos! These were something I looked forward to. I'm so appreciative that you show up bits and pieces of your life. 💚
In terms of classics, i would totally recommend the Anne of green gables series, and the Narnia chronicles.❤
I’ve watched you for years, still love to see your new videos when you post! I must say those jeans were made for you! They look so good!!
just finished watching your video!!! Love all of the things that you do with your children, its beautiful where you live!
You in the garden nursing with the sunflowers 🌻 is making me happy today. 😊
so peaceful and lovely! Love watching your family ❤ Your commitment to your family and all you and Andrew do is really admirable ❤️
You are an amazing example for humanity🙏🏼💕 love you Ellen
Beautiful video, Ellen! Love to see how far you guys have come!
You‘re such an Inspiration 🥹 following you since sandy was a baby and now I am a soon to be mom of 3 and can’t believe how time is flying by ♥️ still love your videos soo much !
Enjoying your new cinematography style and cool music selections. Thank you for sharing your life.
Trumpet of the Swan, Charlotte's Web have been favorites
Thank you for sharing ur Journey w/ ur family!❤
Truly inspiring!
Elvis is 12! So tall & Sandy!! Scout practicing the piano.Each family member included w/ garden is important. 👩🏻🌾
Your garden looks absolutely amazing and so nurturing.
I love your channel, your family and your way of life....living off the land and homeschooling~ ❤ it gives me hope for a more beautiful future for our world ... I homeschool along with being a hard working single mom- the things I'm most proud of is my children 💖😊just wanted to say thanks for the lovely videos and sharing how beautiful family life can be 🙏
We are using Happy Child Box for our preschoolers to have homeschool preschool at home ♡ so happy to see your family doing this amazing lifestyle of living - its very admirable and inspirational! Go mama !
Omg the beginning I loooove jttttt ! You gotta make a reel audio of this pleaseeee🥰🥰
Home educator here! We’re currently reading Black Beauty for our read aloud, and I highly recommend all children reading that book! It was groundbreaking for animal rights, and putting animal cruelty into perspective. Blessings
I’ve been WAITING for you to post
I love your beautiful family and the whole vibe of the lifestyle 😍✨🙌🏽
Books my kids enjoyed a lot last year:The Penderwicks , The Vanderbeakers, Charlie and the chocolate factory, WildOak!!! Loved that one so much!
We love reading Strawberry Girl! Just a classic and so great for kids!
We just watched ANNA FROM THE GREEN GARBLES with my 6 yo daughter - beautiful Canada co-production series from 80's. Loved it❤
Thank you for the everything that you do. You are literally my greatest inspiration. A vegan, earth living, god led family. You’re so amazing
We love focusing on Living Books, we’re eclectic but love CM. For family read alouds… Count of Monte Cristo may be heavy (but you know your kids). Have you read the Swiss Family Robinson ? The Chronicles of Narnia series is also great. We just finished Heidi and loved it.
Love how yall are swimming and soaking up the sun while I’m over here in the clouds and rain!! 😂💛
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is ellen💙💙💙
This is what I am working towards for my family as well. It is inspiring to see you succeeding at it ❤
This video is so sweet. Your garden is looking beautiful, lovely to see you all working together out there. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air, I find myself smiling so happy for you and your family as I watch. We do living books too. We recently read aloud A Place to Hang the Moon (which we did a book club for) and also Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. We also did a book club for The Hobbit which was so adorable. Currently reading The Vanderbeekers series aloud (I used to work in Harlem so love the setting, and the large family of kids and their personalities and interactions is just so charming).
My mom homeschooled me and I absolutely loved it! I think your children would enjoy the unabridged version of The Count of Monte Cristo. (I read it around their ages and it was much more detailed and interesting than the abridged version). 😊
The Count of Monte Cristo was one of my favourite novels growing up, I'm so glad you're considering reading it to your kids! Such a gripping story and has a wonderful message about forgiveness at the end. The unabridged version might be a bit long to read out loud and can get a bit dark with the theme of revenge, but would highly recommend for the older kids. Have you read any Tolkien together? The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings actually began as a children's story Tolkien wrote for his four kids, which I find wonderful. I also used to love Greek mythology at their age, if you can find an age-appropriate version of the Odyssey it's such a wonderful introduction to classical history! Anything written by Michael Morpurgo is also brilliant, and I think you would really like Eye of the Wolf by Daniel Pennac
I’ve been watching since Elvis was a baby. I homeschooled my kids, they both have graduated. I love your methods of homeschooling. Loved Notgrass history and Teaching Textbooks for math. I wish I would have read more with my kids
I recommend you read the Glenn Doman Gentle Revolution series, starting with How to Teach Your Baby to Read. It's too late for the older kids bc it stops at 6 yo but it would be perfect for Dagny and maybe Koufax too!
I love your family so much! You are such a great parents. The views of Hawaii are incredible.
Best wishes and warm hugs from Russia.
Currently single and don’t have kids yet. Maybe some day. But I loved the Little House on the Prairie books growing up. And the historical based American Girl books and movies. Especially Kit, Samantha, Kristen, Molly. Great way to learn about historical periods in an age appropriate manner. Growing up my mom would read the Narnia books from CS Lewis to us.
i love the idea of homeschooling i hope they include current news/world news into the lessons as the get older 🙌🏼
I always truly appreciate your honesty Ellen. Showing how hard it can be to balanced. We all feel it. I love your videos and your podcast. All of your conversations are so thought provoking in so many different ways. I just have 1 toddler with 1 on the way and I already feel the struggle of finding balance in all the things I want to do like cleaning the house, working in my yard, being present with my daughter and having time for myself and meaningful connection with my husband. We want to have more children maybe 4-5 so you’re such an inspiration to me on how you try to manage all the things with your family. I totally understand if work needs to cut back. Enjoy your kids while they are young cuz they grow so fast. We appreciate anything you give. Also love the brands you partner with. I got the osea body oil for my pregnant belly because you recommended it and I’m absolutely in love with the brand now. As a mama that has growing stretching skin it’s a really awesome line! ❤ thank you again! I hope you all stay well.
A Place to Hang the Moon is a great book! Our boys are 13 and 9 and they are really enjoying it. We homeschool too and absolutely love it!!
This is an amazing book.
Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry is a beautiful book to read in "middle school" year. Thanks for sharing all that you share, so inspiring Ellen!!!!
Beautiful humans, Beautiful family!
Your hair is everything!! 🤩
A couple of books I loved were The Education of Little Tree and My side of the Mountain...quite old fashioned but have stayed in my memory of favourite books for over 50 years
I was also going to say My Side of The Mountain. My oldest just finished a literary novel study for this book. If he's not interested in the content, there is no convincing him to read on. However he loved this read. This morning I actually commented to myself that there is a reason old fashion novels become classics.
You look amazing Ellen- your hair and your skin shine and glow! Beautiful video of a day in the life. ❤ Your children are so delightful and Dagny is such a gorgeous little cutie who's growing so fast! I so enjoy your videos💖
Absolutely love your energy ❤
Love watching your homeschool content and family content. I’m homeschooling two kiddos and you have so many great ideas. Quite a different lifestyle in our case in the Midwest US, but some things are still applicable 😂
Would you be open to a video about a week of meals and how you go about planning them? Specifically quicker easy meals for working parents? My family currently doesn’t prioritize Whole Foods and I’m having a hard time imagining how you go about planning your meals. I know you have your recipe books - maybe the video could include some recipes?
Homeschooling my daughter and reading The Hobbit together. So good and there is a movie trilogy. Although the movies are more mature so those would be good to watch when the kids are older.
Number the Stars by Louis Lowry is a great look at the Holocaust to talk about how we should treat others. I read it in 5th or 6th grade for school.
The Giver, doing the right thing when everyone around you doesnt understand.
Chronicles of Narnia are amazing and age appropriate
Blessings on your homeschool journey!
My Side of the Mountain. The original American Girls series. Both of my older boys read the Kerstein series and enjoyed all the books. Mystery of the Night Explorers. White Fang. We did a read a loud for history (3 years back) that my kids enjoyed, and it lead to some great discussions: Boy of the Pyramids. They retained what was read and discussed, so I would say it was a good read. There are so many others!
A Wrinkle in Time series is wonderful!
We use the good and the beautiful for language arts, and math, too. I had something else picked out and then I found out the store is near us. I took the kids in to have a look around and they immediately said this is the curriculum they want to do and we’ve been doing it for I think around five years, maybe six and they still love it. I went to a homeschool seminar around the same time we started using that curriculum and sat in on a workshop Jenny Phillips did and I loved her philosophy so much that I knew we had found what worked for us
I can’t wait to watch when I get home! Keep up the amazing life!
I love you ellen fisher💚
all your babies are so so precious
My book recommendations:
Everything from Frances Hodgson-Burnett and Lucy Maud Montgomery. I loved their books as a child
Chronicles or Narnia!! One of my favorite series and movie!
On the homeschooling front for kids books my older kids love My side of the mountain, Phantom Tollboth, Dr Doolittle, my daughter who is about Scouts age loved Heidi, Pipi Longstocking, Anne of Green Gables. My youngest two who are about your youngest ages still love the Peppa books.
As far as count of Monte Cristo as a whole version i personally tried to read it to my oldest 2 sons (who are about your oldest 2 sons ages) and they found it hard to get through so I bought the abridged versions of some classics and they grasp those better. Beowulf is one my oldest just did which he loved. There’s also James and the Giant peach which everyone loved and Fantastic Mr Fox that was a hit for all my 5 kiddos.
Love your whole family. Yall are so lovely. 😍 Love all your videos. Yall are doing such a good job. Thank you for all the good information. Keep up the good work. ❤
I live in sweden so probably the opposite of Hawaï . very envious of how much outdoor time you do and how much time you can spend in the sun and eat fruits from your own garden. It all looks like a distant magic dream to me. Thank you for sharing
Where do you live? I am in Sweden too :))
@@Lena.Sanftmut Stockholm;) you?
@@ADG247 at the moment I am near Falköping heading in a few weeks to Hammerdal :)
@@Lena.Sanftmut we are soon done with winter hopefully 😄
Would you be able to do a video on how to go about homeschooling little ones? My son just turned 3 and I was thinking about the good and the beautiful. I would love to find a homeschool community but in our area there isn’t much opportunities for that especially his age! 😭 you’re such an inspiration!! ❤️
I can’t remember what exact age I was but def read the full count of monte cristo somewhere in that 8-12 range. I loved it! The hardest part was just keeping the characters straight
I used to really love Enid Blyton books, they’re about children going off on adventures in the English countryside 💛
I loved homeschooling my kids when they were younger
They were free and loved life well
Grateful for those years :)
Thank you for sharing! ❤
That’s what life is all about, another world away from cold rainy London 🥰🙏🏻
You know, I've been following you for about 7 or 8 years and I love your content, but one of the things I miss the most 😋 are your recipe videos and I remember that at some point you uploaded a video of what's in your refrigerator, an updated one would be great. Greetings here jaja I comented in other video😅
Love the favorites list on ThreadUp...will you please link your necklace? I love it!
I've been collecting all of the classics for quite some time now so that I can read them to my kids and then they can read them by themselves as they get older. Here are only a fraction of what I have collected and feel like they would be good for the kiddos: Anne of Green Gables, Treasure Island, Robin Hood, The Jungle Book, Black Beauty, The Secret Garden, The Three Musketeers, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
raised gardening is so great
