Seeing Every State! Homeschooling and Budget Friendly Trips.
Traveling has always been a favorite of mine. Thank you to my step dad for instilling the joy of experiencing new things!

I hope you're encouraged to travel as a family, too, even if it's only within the state you live in!

Summer School For Homeschooling Families! Should you be doing it too?

Do you have a question if you should continue to do school during summer break? For our family, the answers to those questions are complicated. ultimately, we choose to continue educating in the summer, and this video explains how and what we do. Even with doing this, we have a ton of freedom and free time leftover, and it makes my life as the educator much easier when school begins again.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and a look through. I’ve been looking for something for coming year.
@@Mamato12_blessings-md8xw You're welcome. It's a relatively cheap curriculum and I think very worth it! I hope it will work out for you if you try it.
Curious what did you use to teach your girls reading?
Hi, we have used a handful of curriculums. One of my children is dyslexic so we have a specific curriculum for her that uses the Orton Gillingham method. For my others, we have used the McGuffy Primers and All About Reading.
This curriculum has changed our lives in the most beautiful way. Absolutely the mostly incredible way to approach homeschooling.
I totally agree! It's been such an incredible blessing.
Love to see AO based videos, looking forward to following your journey ❤
Thank You. ❤️ We are so glad we came upon the Charlotte Mason pedagogy and Ambleside. It's been a true blessing.
Finishing out our first full year of Ambleside. Still figuring it out, but it has been rewarding! I find that scheduling the readings throughout the year has been a little challenging. And adding absolutely everything is a challenge. Nature and poetry fell to the wayside a bit. The readings/audios we used we exceptional. Any tips on geography, writing/spelling, dictation?
YES! I can make a video this week on those things. ❤️

Wow it looks amazing. You guys are awesome. So happy for your sweet family. Get some rest. You need it.
Thank you. I took a nap right after I edited this video lol. I am so happy with how it came out. I can't wait to see the rest unfold. Thank you so much for your support.
Sorry someone did that to you.
Thank you. It definitely was upsetting.
That really sucks. I bought a smart watch for 90 off marketplace. Met man in tehachapi. He said it needed to be charged but showed that it turned on. Got home and it wouldn't turn on. Messaged him and he said it worked for him just fine the last time he used it and I can't call fossil and maybe they can figure it out. They couldn't help me without mind info and he blocked me. Crazy thing is he had children and seemed like a nice family. Boy was I fooled.
Oh I am so sorry Jessica. It's so painful having money taken from you for an item that supposed to be like new or at least usable. It's so sad what people do to scam and take money from others.
Wow
This was made a few months ago and were still continuing to see issues. Crazy huh!
Beautiful, I love it. So big. Congratulations
Thank you. It definitely is a big house. Why we bought a fixer ish house so 23 could have more sqft. Definitely worth it
Very cool!!! Congratulations!
Thank you. :) You'll have to come by next time you're in town.
Happy birthday 🥳 Lani!
Thank you :) I can't believe she's 9.
I love this. I started homeschooling my 5 year old and it’s been amazing. Watching your video gave me encouragement to do something I’ve always wanted to do thanks soooo much. Blessings 🙏🏾
That's amazing. Blessing to you and your family. I hope that homeschooling throughout all the highs and lows will be a success for you and an enjoyment.
You are absolutely fabulous. What stores do you do your grocery shopping at? Do you stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? It would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
Sure I would be happy to. We mostly shop at Walmart, albertsons, Aldi and thrift shops. Occasionally dollar tree and dollar store. I really appreciate the kind comment. It made my morning.
Glad to see you're doing better
Thank you! God has been so good. It’s a blessing to be healing.
Beautiful family. Liked your essential oil review.
Thank you so much! That sweet comment just made my day.
@@theconleefamily5 You are really blessed. Also, love your dog.
Thank you our Tommy boy is such a love bug. He wants to cuddle hug, and kiss everyone he sees in person. 😊 You are right we are very blessed.
Wow
It is pretty crazy. It’s apparently happening all over.
I got those rashes when I was moving it was due to stress but took benadryl and went away
I wouldn’t doubt it ! Haha I’ve been stressed.
Thank you for the video. I live in a rural area. We have to drive to a city for grocery shopping. It used to take about a 30 minute drive to get groceries. We have the interstate closure problem which causes trucks to be rerouted to the smaller roads and that makes it over an hour trip to a city. We can go west to one city and find Groceries at Walmart, Aldi, Big Lots, and Home Depot. They have lots of empty shelves. We can go North East to a different city and and find Walmart, Aldi, Dollar Tree, and and Rural King. They also have empty shelves. We can go South to another city for Sav A Lot, Dollar General and Dollar Tree. Here lately, The city to the south of us has been well stocked. We can go farther to a bigger city Southwest and they are also stocked. We have not ventured to another city Northwest of us because it is farther away. I am well stocked up on most things right now. I also do not like to pay too much. Walmart has a international/ ethnic grocery aisle where I get the 28 cents for a 7 ounce package of pasta. I got pasta sauce in jars and cartons as well as the just add water powders to make sauce. I have dried vegetables and boullion cubes for a cheap vegetable soup. For storage, I put over the door shoe organizers on the door for the laundry room and filled them with shampoo and body wash. I do need to work on laundry detergent.
Those are great recommendations for storage! I’m glad you are stocked up well it’s such a blessing for that to happen. I love that section your talking about at Walmart too. It is very affordable.
Buahahaha kids sure know how to jab us lol
They sure do!!!
Showing some love 💚💚
🙏🏻 thank you.
Where did y'all get the rocks? Was it a national geographic kit or something I saw the magazine on the side
Yes! They are a National Geographic kit I put the link in my description for the one we used. :) we loved it. A few of ours were also from the rock and mineral museum in Boise, ID
That date do NOT mean when it goes bad. It only means it is at its best thru that date. The date system is a manufacturer set up - gets people to buy more. I use to run a food pantry - so I have been educated on this. Do some research on Best By, Use by, ... they mean different things. Great video! Thanks.
That’s awesome to know! I will definitely do some more research on those things!
Not a store I'm my area is lacking anything.
That’s promising to hear! I hope it stays that way!
Under furniture offers great storage areas not taking up valuable cupboard, closet or shelf space. Most of this year's canning is under my bed!
That’s is awesome! Great way to use unused space and be content with what you have.
Do you put it in a container or on a tray? How do you get to it to inspect?
You can freeze your candy bars and they will be fine for a while after the expiration date. 🙂
That’s a great tip! Thank you. I’ll give it a try.
Many Targets right now are doing their fall reset. The one by me has lots of empty shelves, but they also have the parking lot roped off with a bunch of containers and a lot of the store roped off because they're about to do a reset. I HAVE noticed meat prices are skyrocketing.
Yes meat prices truly have gone up! It’s always good to know why your store is empty for me at least makes it a little less scary.
Hi my friend and is sad how the stores is running out of supplies
It sure is ! Wild to have amazing clearance but to be out of other full price things on the self. Very contradicting. Hopefully it doesn’t get much worse.
It’s once a week. Well worth your time if your considering it.
Love te clearance for shows hack
Thank you!! We are clearance junkies. It honestly makes the biggest difference in our budget.
I AM IN PHILADELPHIA, AND GOING TO MY LOCAL WALMART THEY ARE TRYING TO HIDE THE GAPS BY PUTTING ARTICLES AND FOOD SIDEWAYS INSTEAD OF BACK...AND THE FREEZER ARE SCARY TO LOOK AT FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT GETTING THEMSELVE'S READY
I am so sorry to hear that. It’s definitely is concerning seeing these things.
you havent seen anything yet. biblical famines are nigh, already appearing. Truckers getting fed up, better get food, gas now. Aussies already blocking freeways in Australia, I hear of reports US truckers turning off engines as well, so get ready for 2 months of possible panic?
We’ve heard of that too. All anyone can do is try and prepare.
AGREE
Have heard of farmers being paid extra to destroy their crops instead of harvesting! I definitely recommend getting a vacuum packer and get powdered & freezedried foods.

So terrifying! Glad she is okay! Hope they had fun with swim lessons! Jonas had a scare in the pool before swim lessons 3 years ago but thankfully he forgot his fear when he made a new friend in the class. Hope the same happened with Lani
Me too! Praising God. She scared me so badly.
I am defiantly going to be looking these up! I need help with with finding the square root of things along with advanced division and decimals... For science I really like the "Rock 'N Learn" videos (very silly full of puns/dad jokes) But don't try their language ones (not really young kid minded more highschool / adult guided) Hopscotch has a bunch of fun learning videos "Smile and Learn" also has a lot of learning videos "Marbles The Brain store "- 'tour the world' - Brain Beats 2 CD ( POP 'rap' but with real knowledge fun informative songs) Classical Conversions cycles 1-3 songs (free on youtube )
I’ve not heard of most of those ! Thank you for sharing.
"the lint looks like socks" reminds me of what my friend told me is the reason we always have missing socks: "dryer lint is the cremated remains of the missing socks" LOL
Lol yep! Always missing socks and too much lint. I’d believe that to be true.
