Here's a peek at what worked for us this school year, what didn't work, and my reasons why. As always, I refuse to bash any specific curriculum. If something didn't work for us, it has much more to do with us personally than with the company itself!

    I’ve had the same struggles with getting my girls started with gardening. Thank you for sharing your experience. I have found a local ministry and have signed up our family to volunteer. I never would have thought of it!
  • @stephanien1764
    It is so apparent how God is blessing your family through homeschooling. I loved this recap! Still waiting to see the fruits of my labor in my family regarding homeschooling.....my kids are 11 9,7 and 5 and most days still feel like they're full of fighting and chaos. I'm ready to see some of the fruits!

    I love your channel and always leave feeling so encouraged rather than feeling overwhelmed for what I'm not doing. We had such a rough year of life interruptions and seasons of grieving. Right now we are doing reading, writing, math and alternating between a short history or science reading each day we can get to school. I have dropped all the beautiful extras I wanted to do this year and worry often if I'm doing enough, but I am choosing to give myself grace and space to process the past year and I am so excited to start planning for a fresh start. My kiddos are 8, 6, 3 and 2 :)
  • @liztefft5312
    So excited to hear about the Highwaymen experience! What a blessing ❤.
  • @Clothmom1
    Laugh-out-loud-belly-laughs at how your preschooler reminds you that you haven’t taught her to read yet 😂!
  • @amandab.6815
    Yay I have been waiting for this! That gardening program sounds so great! I hope I can find something like that around me.
  • Thank you for your honesty ❤️ We did not get to geography either but as you said its scattered through our other subjects. Also, typing and music fell through the cracks as well however we were able to focus on enrichment ☺️
  • We love my pre-k box! I saved our weather box from this month for when we do our weather unit study in the fall.
  • How exciting to meet one of the Highwaymen ! We live in Ft. Pierce, FL and so so love the rich art History of the highwaymen. Sounds like a successful year of schooling with a pregnancy ! ❤
  • So good to hear about Apologetics General Science. Will be sure to get the kit !! Thanks
  • You are glowing! Love your videos! Very informative and encouraging.
  • @heidibarker2120
    I loved this! We will be using a Nature Workshop Plus lab kit next year and it is 100% because of your video. We have used other lab kits in the past but when we got this kit, I was blown away! It has me very excited for next year’s Apologia science. I am so thankful that you shared it with us.
  • @janahightower
    I love your heart for learning and all of the rich experiences it brings! I have been using Reading Eggs as a supplement this year on the days that I can’t fit an All About Reading lesson. I’m hoping to carry it throughout the summer for review as well.
  • @GraceFilled
    I love these videos.... thanks for sharing... the prek box looks great too 😀
  • @ritahamm1893
    Do you have any recommendations for a Bible study class ages 10-12. I am looking to help them navigate many things like bullying, social media, modest clothing, what they watch and what they listen to….none of them are homeschooled and have to walk that tight rope of being surrounded with worldly influences while trying to maintain their innocence as well as being influenced. Any help would be appreciated.
  • I really like the acoustic guitar music on your videos; it’s so calming!
  • Thank you for this! In the past, we had a subscription to a box-type activity service much like the pre-k you shared, only for older kiddos. My question for you...what do you do with all the 'stuff' in the box afterwards? I love the idea and all that we had we loved it and it was a hit with our daughter. Having a large family, however, we are limited in long-term space...any thoughts or ideas on how to store/keep? I would like to try this for my littlest next year. thank you!
  • @blessed0648
    I LOVE LOVE the soak method! We do bible also, I will definitely be trying this for the upcoming year! Love your video! My first time here! Subscribed! God bless!
