Just wanted to pop in here and say, your routine ideas have really helped us! I’m homeschooling two 2ndish grade girls, a kindergartener and a 4 year old in tow. School has been taking us a solid 4 hours some how, and I had been just pushing us through. Of course the kids had kinda turns for their independent work, so it wasn’t all sitting through at once. Anyway we started your 30 minute break in between morning/family time and math/independent time and it has been awesome! I encourage the kids to go outside and have been taking some time for housework, and resting (or laying face down on my bed hahah) for the rest of the break. My kids come back as different children. It’s been so nice. I’m a long time watcher of your channel :) thanks so much for sharing your life with us!

Thanks for watching today! This video is a lot longer than usual, but I didn’t feel like I could shorten it anymore than this, to give you a good view of our homeschool day 😊 I hope you enjoy it, and have a GREAT week! ❤

Oh I love it ❤️ thanks so much!

Thank you, Julie! To me, the most encouraging part was a reminder what it is to believe in Christ! May His presence be real to you all all the time!

Oh my goodness Wesley is so cute with the baby doll on his back.

Sure love you! No perfect kids, no perfect moms, good reminder. Nevertheless, you are great. Love your videos. You've been a great teacher to ME through your You Tube work.

Thank you for always being an encouragement to ME! 😀

Loved your video

You've sparked an interest to study about my fellow African countries.

I love this! ❤❤❤❤

I enjoyed the longer video! ☺️ What a treat! Thank you ❤️

As a new homeschooling mom, your videos are an inspiration! My little guy is in kindergarten and then I have a 5 month old as well so some days are a bit interesting 😅

Oh, yes! You definitely have to be more creative and flexible with a baby! ❤️ what a special time!

I do something similar with our whiteboard, but i like the idea of simply erasing their initials! 😊 We enjoy any of your videos... Short or long. And as I've said before, it's nice watching a fellow mama of 5 with kids who are almost the same ages lol

I get it! It’s nice to be relatable 🥰 The initials make it just so simple to erase! 😊

Loved seeing this detailed look at your day! Very helpful and gave me some good ideas! Thank you!

Girl you inspire me so much.

Oh Julie you look beautiful and what a warrior of Christ. I watched with my dear sister some of your video. She couldn't believe how many wonderful children you have. I was telling her that you are extremely beautifully Blessed, and in my opinion rich in Spirit. I have a crush on you so tell your hubby he is the most Blessed Man in the whole world and I wish you Godspeed in continuing together and strong in Christ.

New to your channel, and love it. I’m a mom of 4. I can relate to your family pretty easily. ❤

Really enjoyed this Julie! Thanks for sharing. Made my time on the treadmill a lot shorter 🥰

I'm enjoying watching this. Love this type of video ❤

Yay I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😀

I hope that on a regular day, the kids are more focused, because today, only Wesley was, LOL

I like teaching kindergarten, too!

I love the hym book. Fairest Lord Jesus is my favorite one.

Hey Julie, Happy Monday. I don’t mind that your video is longer than normal. I really enjoyed this video and learning what you do in a normal homeschooling day. ❤ I like how you write all of the subjects and then write your kids initials down by it with what subject they have to complete each day and then just simple erase it once they completed the subject for the day. ❤ Wesley does so well in his math for his age, it’s so adorable how much he loves math. ❤ That’s a good thing that you can see how well they do in their math from your email so you can help them if they don’t understand something. ❤ it looks like the two older kids are doing a good job with updating their subjects whether the last three need reminders and that’s okay we are all learning each day. ❤

Thank you so much, Rachel!

I totally enjoyed seeing how your day goes. Thanks for sharing. Just subscribed. I also have a channel with tons of homeschooling content and have 5 kiddos to juggle. It would be fun to be friends and connect here. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Good video! Off the wall question . . . . What printer/copier do you use?

My daughter loves Explode the Code. She says phonics is her fave subject aside from piano.

No, I won’t have another one until the beginning of November 😊

All of the kids watch the upper age World Watch? We don’t typically watch news with the kids and I wanted to start doing a little bit of current events, but it seemed a bit much for my kids still (10, 12). Do you just pick which stories to watch?

Try making cowboy candy with the jalapeños!

It’s yummy, basically candied jalapenos 😊

at 6:45 what book where you reading from? Thanks.

What ages/ grades were your kids when you switched over to gather round instead of doing individual subjects for each child?

@mamatofive1

This is our fourth year (I’m pretty sure?), so we switched when our older kids were grade 5, 3, and 2 😊

Do you have a copy of your schedule?

What age range do you recommend for world watch news?

@mamatofive1

All of mine watch it, but I would say 8+ is where they really understand it well!

That's not ridiculous. In America they show us the Canada price (for whatever reason) and y'all prices are higher

@mamatofive1

7 ай бұрын

Yes, our currency is different…but when we buy anything from the states, we are paying the Canadian price because our dollar is worth less than a dollar in U.S. currency. So that’s not part of the equation. I say it’s ridiculous because we can often get free shipping here, but shipping costs across the border can be really pricy. 😊

What’s a good age for kids to watch World news?

@mamatofive1

My kids aged 7-13 all enjoy World Watch News, and of course my older kids get more out of it than the younger ones do. Even I enjoy it though. So I think my kids will watch it all through high school too!
