- After a much needed break…
Regular Secular Mama is back!
There is so little help out there for homeschooling older kids! In the interest of maintaining some semblance of work-life balance, I will not be going full-throttle on this channel. However, I will be getting back into a routine of posting videos as a way to add to the limited pool of homeschool resources for the middle and high school years.

So glad to see you back! There is definitely a need for more content about homeschooling through the middle school and high school years!
Thank you, glad to be back! 😄
Thanks for coming back. It’s so hard to find secular vloggers especially for older elementary.
Yes it is. I know in theory I’m not alone, but there’s so little out there. I’m over here searching out high school info already, and the secular high school niche is almost nonexistent 😳
Happy to have you back! Can't wait to hear more about how you are getting your students to be more independent learners.
Thank you! 😊
Yay! You’re back 😊 The more Middle School content the better!! Also working on planning High School over here (I have an older 7th Grader this coming year, so we will start credits in 8th Grade).
Same here (credits in 8th). We’re already loosely planning high school and talking about college. It’s happening! 😬
I'm with you regarding social media. Other than CZcams, I don't use any other. Glad you are back -- you were one of the few secular homeschool moms I found/watched before I started homeschooling.
Thank you for your kind words and for sticking with me! 🤗
Welcome back! Definitely looking forward to hearing about History Compass and all things middle school.
Absolutely, thanks for watching! 😄
Glad to see you back as well! I have an upcoming 5th grader and appreciate all the middle school videos (curriculum choices/planning). I would also like to hear more about how you get your kids to work independently.
Awesome input, thanks! 😊
Congrats on your new house! So glad that you are back. I would love to keep seeing homeschool related topics especially for middle and high school years.
Thanks so much! 😄
Welcome back my friend. Happy to see you again 🩵
Thank you so much! 🤗
Yay! I’m so glad you’re back! My oldest is also going into 8th so I love hearing what is working for you.
Thank you! 🤗
Welcome Back, I would love to hear about what curriculums you are using to foster independence. I would also love to be able to follow your secular channel into the middle and high school grades. Thanks for posting.
And thanks so much for watching, and for the input! 🤗
I'd love to hear your homeschool schedule and how you balance it with work
Absolutely! I figure that’s a topic many people would be interested in 🤗
Glad to see you back! Would love content on what worked and didn’t work for independent work. I work two jobs and really need help choosing something to keep my rising 8 & 6 graders on track this year.
Oh man, that sounds busy to say the least! Thanks for the input ☺️
Welcome back -- as an always homeschooler with teens, I appreciate any older secular content creators so much.
It feels like there are so few of us!
Love hearing from you, always. Congratulations on your new job and home! I’d love to hear about middle school resources, now that 2 of mine are there as well!
Thank you, friend! 💕
Lovely seeing your beautiful face :) Thanks for rhe update. We're in similar circumstances this year. I've been too nervous to do an update because I'm not sure what I can commit to.
Happy to hear your job and everything is going well.
Well now I said it, so I have to! 🤣
Glad to see you back! I’d love to see how you balance/schedule with working, how you set up independent work for the kids and how that goes.
Thanks! I’ll definitely be covering that soon 😉
Glad to see you back! We tend to use similar curriculum so I’m always interested in your content. I’ll have an 8th grader this coming year so I’m always looking for channels with middle/high school age kids.
Wonderful! Thanks for watching 😄
As a fellow middle school homeschooler I would love to see any and all middle school/high school resources. Welcome back!
Thank you, and thanks for your input!
So glad to have you back with us!
Thank you! ☺️
Happy to hear you will be posting again. I have a middle schooler and would love to hear what type of curriculum or assignment you give for writing and history. I try to combine the two when I can, but I struggle knowing if we are rigorous enough in our approach.
You would think that would be an easy combo, right? So much goes into writing instruction, it can be hard. Thanks for the input!
New viewer here! I am really interested in what you use as a working mom for curriculum. I have not found many other homeschool CZcams moms. Please talk about the independent things you do with your children. I have an upper elementary school child (3-5) and work full time so please send help.
You’re a super hero! And keep an eye out, I have curriculum choice videos coming up very soon 😄
Glad you're back! I'm interested in your thoughts on History Compass, and what changes you made to help your kids be more independent.
History Compass was definitely an experience. Thanks so much for the input! 😊
I am also in the middle school and high school years. I find it’s hard to find other channels who talk or share about that. I am slowly moving my channel from only rv life to sharing more about homeschooling in the middle and high school years. I’m looking forward to hearing how you handle this stage. That’s awesome you got a house! We live in a RV and find it’s hard to homeschool when we are not at a rv park with a public space to use. We would like to get a house eventually, too.
We are fulltime RV living also. For us, even though it’s the 7 of us, it’s worked out beautifully with homeschooling. We are so more productive because of the smaller space. Haha. And I also went back to work, but part time. So fun to find similar family situations!
Yes, the outdoor space, pool, and clubhouse saved our sanity!
I agree! I’m excited to see new faces and share what we can. Love this community ❤️
@@RegularSecularMama we do spend more time outdoors, which I find a plus but of course it’s not winter yet. lol.
@@RegularSecularMama me too!!!
