  • What a beautiful picture you have just painted for us! You are a proverbs 31 woman 🥰 You gave us such an honest look at your day to day life that is not without struggles sometimes. You simply plan for a win and there is always opportunity for growth. You are teaching your children to become responsible adults. I love you and your family so much!

    Julie, I’m usually a quiet observer on social media, but really wanted to thank you for your honest and inspired mothering, homeschooling, homeschooling wisdom that I have gleaned from videos and blog posts like this one. We are very soon a family of seven, and these practical tips and affirmations (as some of them I do too like baby wearing or planning dinner in the morning!) were a comfort. Thank you for sharing your humble confidence with me. You show me what IS working, and that gives me hope, even within the challenges of the mundane but fulfilling life as an investor in the heart of the future, shaping and loving little humans and adding joy to the world. Blessings!
  • We have 11 children and our youngest is Benjamin 😊 I love watching a mom of many and hearing her tricks and tips. God bless your family. We are a Missouri family here also.
  • Great video! Little Everett is just darling. I think he looks like his big brother Silas.
  • Love love love baby wearing! It just keeps them so calm and close, and keeps me as mama calm, cause I’m not always having to stop what I’m doing to check on them!

    My husband had a grow room down in the basement of our old house. In this new home we don't have a grow room so i think he's going to utilize the attic that we are currently trying to redo. We have so much that we need to still get done. I understand your frustration. Kid's, things not working smoothly in the home. Lately i find myself having either cabin fever or mentally stressed about how we are currently living. Keep praying and trying so hard to keep a positive mind set instead of groping about something that's dysfunctional. I'm like you, i love getting up before everyone else and having that ME time and to be able to kick start my day without a little one under foot. Except these day's i find myself not wanting to get out of bed until my 11 month old wakes up and she's ALWAYS awake at 6:30 am. Seriously can't wait for the time change. We don't try to adjust our kid's to the time, so she should start sleeping in until 7:30 and I MIGHT be able to start getting my morning ME time again. ❤ Last baby and she sleeps the worst of them all. Go figure, I'm older, need more rest and she is my difficult child. Hahahahhaa, she does make me laugh every morning though, the way she shakes the railing of the bed. Her way of telling me to get up.
  • Happy 1 month! Hydration is key....thanks for the reminder. I do really good and then I nurse all night and forget.
  • Thankyou! That was excellent and helpful especially your comment about keeping our attitude in check when we are frustrated by things our kids have done or their attitudes. Thankyou so much!!! 💓
  • Such a great video! Everything is explained so well!:face-blue-smiling::face-blue-smiling:❤❤👣👣
  • Nice work Momma organizing the kiddos chores 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 I wanted to ask about teaching textbooks online, can you start at a level and then switch as you complete, do you have to pay for each level for one kid? Thank you!
  • Oh the sweet new baby grunts and noises! Thank you so much for that precious clip 😍
