This video was wonderful! I am from Canada Nova Scotia. I have been a stay at home mom with my son right from the start and I am struggle with the thought of putting him in public school. Your video truly hit me hard and made me tear up. I agree with all you have said. It's hard to break the mold specially if you don't have family support outside of your home stead.
Thank you for sharing
Were you find all the thing to print, map, and ideas for activities?
I'm only a little over half way through this video and it is SO GOOD! I'm getting these books!!! Thank you for sharing!
I love this for 8th grade.
Wow! I needed this today. We’ve been in a season of “Grace” for far too long. After pulling my children out of public school several years back, we began the process of de-schooling. In this process, I , as their mother, began to give up. I work outside the home and just felt exhausted. The burden of “independence” became theirs. Basically, I saw how they began to raise themselves. I was there. Present. Cooking, cleaning, that sort of thing but there was no rhythm to our day to day. Big emotions, caused me to check out. I don’t have any family support, if anything, my family offers more chaos inside my home. Building boundaries and walking through a separation in my marriage has not been easy. But I’m not the only one inside our home feeling these emotions. Why should I get this seasons of mourning and the children don’t? God has definitely convicted my heart and is giving me the strength to try again. This was absolutely amazing and so spot on. Even in a horribly difficult season, I know and knew that I had the opportunity to walk alongside my children. They also have big emotions. Ladies, powerful. Thank you Lord for bringing me here in this moment ❤
@@JillKai-k6g thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this! YOUR story will bless many moms too! Praying for you!!
This is super exciting! Congratulations on the new podcast ❤
@@JillKai-k6g thank you SO MUCH!!
Congratulations on your podcast! I'm actually a podcast manager so this makes me so happy. I love watching your videos so I'm pretty sure I'll love the podcast too. :)
Thank you!
I'm here for it! I love your take on life and find your videos so inspiring! ❤
I can’t wait until you get to high school. I’m curious where you’re at with that? I have an unschooled 17 year old and we live in a very easy homeschool state. I signed up with a charter school this year to utilize funds and I’m just laughing at the requirements. I’ve graduated three already and know first hand how public school is all review in high school and truly isn’t anything more than trouble. She’s far beyond her years but I’d love to hone in on language arts and math. Math is her weakest link. She has various learning differences and she absolutely despises online learning. I’ve yet to find a math program that she thrives in. Any idea what you might use for math in highschool?
@@JillKai-k6g I’m using Consumer Math from Not Consumed! Here’s their website: store.notconsumed.com?aff=198
@@RootedHomeLife perfect! That whole website is awesome! Thank you SO much ❤️
I sent my children last year, and kind of regretting it and want to pull 2/3 but struggling to come to a conclusion for my middle child! 🙈 when I ask her if she wants to go back she says "I don't know" thank you for bringing all of these good points up!
Nice! Very inspiring. Your classroom is bright and fresh and welcoming.
If your senior enjoys the psychology topic and wants to dive deeper, there's a free psychology course I cant remember where but I can find it if you're Interested.
i dont under stand
We are starting next week 🎉
I would love to see a video on your method for packing your family up, tips and tricks, anything helpful in the car for Littles, and even how you pack your vehicle! We took two vacations this summer with my 4 boys and I feel like there’s got to be a better way 😂
Second this!!
Hi Christina! Who do you use for printing and binding?
Raising Boys To Men was one of my favorites!!! It gave me so many actionable steps to implement with my boys.
Which one did you end up enjoying more, and feeling like you got more from
My kids and I especially loved Gladys Aylward YWAM, and the torch lighter video of her is great too. Have you seen YWAM picture book versions for younger readers and are written in verse?
Do all your kids listen to the missionary stories together?
I bought the planner after watching your other video, and now I am working on printing it. Deciding on a cover was hard. They were so pretty. I think we will start at the end of August or the beginning of September. I am still trying to organize the curriculum and figure out how I want our school days to look.
I’ll send the short term rental conference to my friend that has a rental in the Poconos!
I love this! I haven’t heard about that book and this looks so good!
We have done levels 3-7 Language arts from The Good &The Beautiful. I have enjoyed going through them with my children and seeing them grow! We have also used their handwriting, science, and this year we will be adding in the typing.
Where dod you get the addictions book?
@@allheartandsong from TGTB!
Love it❤ We have little hearts and hands and are loving it!
We are trying BJU press for math this year but if that doesn't workout good, our plan is to do tgtb next. We have done math u see and it is way too repetitive
Don't skip ahead. My 13 year old is going into 8th grade and his math level is 7th and I'm OK with that because it is at his speed. He needs to really know the concepts before we move on 😊 he is 12th grade level with history and writing and he has a musician mind. He is so smart and I dont care if he is technically a grade behind in math
My daughter did 3rd grade tgtb and wow I was impressed. I hope you enjoy it like we did. ❤the books had me tesring up so many times and I felt so close to my daughter going though the entire curriculum. She is going to be 4th level this upcoming year and We both can't wait.
Wow this looks great! Do they do these bundles yearly?
@@shanellemartens6484 seasonally!
This planner looks great, thank you! The link for your binding machine takes me to a comb binding machine, but your planner is spiral bound. Is there a different link for a spiral machine? Thanks!
That’s so weird, I don’t know how that happened! This should be the right one: amzn.to/4cbAQq7
Thank you!
SO EXCITED i got the bundle :) i dont see the tea time i got the Double Upgrade Back to School Mega Bundle Vol 4 I dont see the tea time one how do you organize it well :) do you have an updated video on how you organize the folders and locate files
every time i have gotten their bundles i never actually get the emails to download anything :( its happened 2 times already i absolute love your ideas we are working on the books you have on your amazon i love how you incorporate nature
@@priscilawillis5123 email them! Or me, and they can resend it!
This is such a helpful video! Thank you so much! I love your idea about the observation journal starting in the back like that too!
@@Brightheart998 you’re so welcome!
Always love your videos!! Did you use level 6 for both LA and math or skip to level 7 after using level 5?
@@Analysemarie yes! We are still working on level 6!
I totally agree and I can't wait to read the book, Holding on to your kids. I raising leaders and followers of Christ so the idea of raising kids that are socialized to be like the world doesn't interest me.
I ordered the Lovevery reading kit too but it hasn't arrived yet. I'm trying to work on reducing screen time and all the commercialized toys. Do your kids have toys and things in their room too or is the only area in the playroom?
As a former teacher for 19 years I absolutely agree with you 100 percent. I am now homeschooling my girls and I'm excited to continue this homeschooling journey with them this year. We keep it uncomplicated and fun.
@@estherkamocherobinson7062 ❤️
😊
Did you do Holistic medicine curriculum or something?
@@Courtney11886 yes! Natural Medicine from Campfire Curriculums!
@@RootedHomeLife amazing! Thanks!
Thank you. This is super helpful ❤ I love your choices !
I am interested in checking out t.g.t.b. math. Have you done previous levels? Do you feel like it moves around too quickly or good paced? We have done math u see and are bored with it.
@@allheartandsong this is our third year using it and we love it!
My family has used level k, level 2, level 3, level 6 and 7. We absolutely love it!! It's not boring at all, I don't believe it moves too quickly, even if they might not master the concept right away TGTB has a spiral approach so they continually get practice. I think it's amazing. G
Grabbed mine! No older kids in our house yet but it was nice to see things for older kids so they aren't left out of the fun! These bundles helped me so much last year when it was my first year homeschooling! Homeschool can be fun with these printables!
😊
Just purchased the mega bundle. I love that it has something for all ages ❤
@@carmenbrown1032 yay!! Enjoy!
Hi Christina! 😊 Thank you, thank you, thank you for showcasing the units for older kids! ⭐️ It doesn’t seem as widely available as studies for parents of littles. This will be a fun and fantastic addition to the curriculum we have already purchased. 📚
@@prettybusygirl5635 yay!! I’m so glad!!
