    We homeschooled all the way through, and colleges are SUPER easy now with helping with homeschoolers get into college. My kids easily got into good colleges and transitioned perfectly after homeschooling. It went very well and wasn't that hard at all (to get them into college). I was surprised. They are nearly done with their college careers. Homeschooling works. :)

    Literally laughed out loud about all of the kids talking to you at one time. My brain hurts daily from being pelted with questions or facts all at the same time!

    @ASpeth Před 2 lety +1

    So appreciate you and your videos! I am a 2nd generation homeschool Mom and have been homeschooling for two years now and I honestly thought it would be so easy had being homeschooled myself but I have had so many challenges and days where I wondered if it was the right thing. Then I watch your videos and your encouragement just lifts me back up :) Thank you for what you do. Also, I live in Indiana and it would be a state worth looking into :)

    Seriously though, thank you for being you and for all you do and share. 💖

    @DanaK817 Před 2 lety +6

    I laughed out loud at your answer to "do you conceal carry". You'll fit right in in Texas, but you dont have to conceal 🤣 We have all you mentioned....EXCEPT 4 seasons. In most of Texas it's either hot or cold. LOL

  • @brookeelizabeth681
    @brookeelizabeth681 Před 2 lety +4

    My childhood definitely shaped my perfectionist personality but I'm incredibly hard on myself when I can't do it all, having grace is a challenge. We absolutely love living in South Carolina. We love the political stance and states rights. The homeschool 3rd option is very freeing. We have a beautiful oceanside, countryside, and mountainside all within 5hrs. We do have a winter but very rarely do we get snow. You can visit Charleston, Savannah, Beaufort, and Hilton Head all in one vacation ♡ Its beautiful. Yay for conceal and carry 😁

    I feel you with the childhood out of control making you feel peace when you are planned out and organized. I don’t know that my husband and four children will ever understand that completely, but that totally resonated with me. ❤️

    I hope Wyoming stays a sanctuary for freedom and conservative values. We just moved to VA for my husbands job and we already have a 4-5 year plan for selling this house and becoming independently employed so we can move out that way. Enjoying today, but definitely planning for the future.

  • @corriezoetewey7860
    @corriezoetewey7860 Před 2 lety +7

    I love Q&A's. I live about 3 hours from both Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA. You could totally visit both in one trip. It is so beautiful and you could do so much history!

    As someone that has moved 18 times Texas has been one of my favorite places in the US to live. North Texas does have some level of seasons, compared to South Texas.

    • @creeksidehomeschoolers
      @creeksidehomeschoolers Před 2 lety

      Yes, I would agree! It's blazing hot and humid all but 3 months of the year in the south, but im a Texan through and through and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I don't see them moving here through even through it would be awesome to run into her!

  • @Penelopepper
    @Penelopepper Před 2 lety

    I have a fuzzy blanket from Unhide and it’s our favorite. My whole family fights over who gets to use it on the couch. It’s so soft and cozy. I definitely want another one.

  • @rebeccaernst6634
    @rebeccaernst6634 Před 2 lety +3

    We loved Yellowstone national park in August. We stayed for 3 days and I know we didn’t even see 1/2. We seen so many waterfalls, geysers, hot springs, you name it. We went to Mount Rushmore before Yellowstone and we loved it more than I would have thought. Be sure to watch the show, it is awesome and will touch your heart. Lots of history to be learned in one spot.

      I lived and taught their for years! Got my masters in Sav too. So beautiful and amazing history. Lots of military bases, same as here in JaxFl. Im from St.Simons Island! Look there and Jekyll Isl! It's surreal pretty and history filled. That is 1 hour south of Sav. Now Charleston and St. Augustine are history overloads and great. Been numerous times. I love this side of the country but may need to inch over a state or too soon!

    I think you would love Montana. Very cold winter though.

  • @aprilyeno1919
    @aprilyeno1919 Před 2 lety

    I am a recent subscriber and I stayed largely because we both have belief in God, our homeschool, our self-discipline and our calling to serve. I do know that we have differences in our “politics”, and in all the ways God has made us individuals ❤️🙏🏻 and that is what makes us all His unique creations.
    I was so sad to hear that people had “attacked” (social media keyboard warrior style) you in your past video and have continued to support you because that is what we are all here for.
    We need not always agree or walk the same path to reach our destination and enjoy each other’s company and appreciate everything we have to offer one another.
    God Bless and I look forward to more of your videos.
    You are appreciated and seen. ❤️🙏🏻

    I moved from my home state of North Dakota because winter is just brutal. We have lived in Nebraska for 5 years now and wouldn’t change it! Winter is only a couple months and not nearly as cold! There are many places to camp within a short distance and we are within a couple hours of Kansas City or even Colorado 😍😍

  • @smrkrr

  • @Michelleh123321
    @Michelleh123321 Před 2 lety +1

    I would say Michigan for 4 seasons but not with the governor we have now 😂 but we have no requirements by law for homeschool, it’s wonderful!! Have you heard of The Good Simple Life here on CZcams? I think they moved to Idaho? I can’t remember without looking 😂 But they remind me of what you guys are looking for!

  • @hannahc1072
    @hannahc1072 Před 2 lety

    Love Yellowstone! Never have been to Glacier, but would like to one day. Just a warning if you go anytime after September there’s gonna be snow most likely. Bring hiking boots and vacuum pack parkas. It’s saves space in the car and you may not need them. The park also has a plow schedule so don’t fret if you can’t get to a certain part. Talk to the rangers, they always give the best info. Get up early (like 4am) to see wolves in the valley. You must goto Cody WY and visit the Buffalo Bill Museum!!! It’s amazing and they have the biggest gun museum, amazing!!! You would need at least two days to finish it. Cody is a cute little town, we rode ATVs (wild horses) in the middle of nowhere and rode horses! Nightly rodeo during season. Great place to visit.

    • @creeksidehomeschoolers
      @creeksidehomeschoolers Před 2 lety

      In her past videos she has said she uses wordly wise to give the kids something to do while she works with others kids and its useful to their knowledge and keeping their brains focused in the academic area until she make her way around to helping them. This is the best I can describe it for a better idea watch some of her older homeschooling videos maybe 2 or 3 years back.

    OMGoodness I loved your face answer to the conceal carry question!!! I love how you are with these type of questions. Although, I'm quite surprised at some of the questions that get asked as someone who watches regularly. It's quite obvious what answer you would give, but your channel has grown a lot and I guess I forget that we aren't the small little group we once were, which is still amazing but different. I used to read and respond within the comments as well and even remember most of the regulars but yes it as gotten a bit overwhelming to read and chat with a huge number. It is great that your growing through and happy to be apart of it!!

    I just want to move anywhere that’s red. And loves America and freedom and guns and God. Cause even in rural New Jersey it’s bad. All the city folk came out here and destroyed our already sadly very anti-American state. 😭🇺🇸 anywhere south of the Mason Dixon would make me happy. LOVE Savannah. Savannah is gorgeous, Charleston is amazing. Greenville, SC is on my list . Smoky mountains TN on my list. Florida is my happy place. Happy happy happy place. 🤣 You know it’s bad when I walk around Jersey with a desantis fan club shirt and get a lot of dirty looks 🙌🏻 just keeping America great over here.
