เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 17 มี.ค. 2022
Greetings! I am a mom of three who loves to read most genres. I am a homeschooling mom. I also wear a bandana a significant portion of the time (due to lots of bad hair days). You may call me the Bandana Bookmom!
I love Jesus, my family and friends, and Hanson. Join me as I chat mostly about books, and a little bit of everything else!

I hope you are loving it! I am two in. I need to get to book three soon.
@@kellireadsalot It’s SO good! I already purchased the next two!
😂,👏👏👏
Whoooo Amari 🎉
@@ChattieTheMadChatter haha totally already have it but couldn’t pass it up for $1!! I plan to donate it to our local foster charity
@BandanaBookmom what an amazing idea. Lol i know what you mean, it's like rescuing a book!
Wow!!!! You hit a goldmine !!!!
I know right?!? Library sale for the win… and they aren’t even library copies - just books people donated. 🙌🏻
@@BandanaBookmom score !!!! Don’t read Falling if you have a flight booked !!!!
@@BookBuds 😆😆😆 Noted!
My son finds a box, dumps everything into it and shoves it in the closet 😂😂😂
Haha yes this is another strategy they use!
Thanks for this video! I have no patience for curriculum that repeatedly goes over the same stuff. Im sure for some people it would be great. This is why I love that there is such a wide variety of homeschooling options and videos to help. I myself have changed 4 times in 5 years and finally did a combo to fit my sons way of learning. Bju press and Evan Moor workbooks have been great for him
Yes I really thought that the structure of this was going to work for me - I have learned so much about myself and my kids on this homeschool journey so far!
We made Abeka work for us but it took us a while to figure out what to skip. I had been homeschooling for almost 10 years at that point and had used other curricula. Every child is different. You might have a completely different experience with your boys.
Yes I did end up using some of the flashcards with my boys this year - they were slower to pick up reading so it was helpful! Definitely didn’t do the whole program though!
This is my first year staring homeschooling with my 4 and half year old. We’re planning on getting Abeka K5, and yes, I understand that it didn’t work for you, but I know from people in my life, from their experience that it’s a great one and many have taught their kids to read using it. I feel like maybe your child is more advanced and you should’ve gotten a level higher. And yes, I see that you’re trying to speak good of Abeka, but at the same time at one point in your speech you were denigrating it. It made feel sad…
I totally agree looking back that a higher level might have been better for her. It’s a great program for lots of people - I actually used some of those dreaded flashcards for my twins the following year and found them to be way more effective with them! I hope you have a great first year!
Do u have an update video on how the good and the beautiful is going for you guys?
I don’t - but we love the Language Arts! I have completed Level K and Level 1 with my daughter and Level K with my boys since filming this and will be continuing next year! We also did Level K and Level 1 of their math but I didn’t love it as much so I’m still searching for other options! Also this year I did Sonlight’s HBL-K with all three of them and we enjoyed that as well.
The most depressing book 😭
Yes so sad but I learned so much from it 💔
A few people are unhauling that Lisa Jewel book for some reason
It’s full of a lot of unlikeable characters doing unlikeable things!!
💯❤️
Absolutely! Cant wait to hear your thoughts. I haven’t read it yet. 😊
I missed this comment! I actually didn’t love it - it was good but could have been shorter. I remember liking Cutting for Stone more than this one!
Can't rush big book like this to process the trauma
Unhauling is so much fun !
Hey it’s off the floor ! 😂
Totally - I was able to vacuum! 😂
Love your tree in the background.
Thanks so much! I love that tree!
Amazing - still doing science work even in tidying up! 😂
😂😂😂
Defying gravity is so in right now
They are either going to be architects or total slobs someday. Time will tell!
I loved Neverwhere and reading Ocean at the End… next. We will see !!!! lol deckled edges haha
Neverwhere is soooooooo much better but Ocean has some decent creepy parts!
Found you mentioned on Books and Beaches. I have downloaded Cinder and have subscribed to your channel🎉
Awww thanks so much! I hope you love it as much as I did!!
Micro sounds fun! I LOVED Honey I Shrunk the Kids when I was little 🐜 🍪. I haven’t read any Michael Crichton yet- do you have a favorite by him? Vera Wong sounds cute! I was going to read The Ocean at the End is the Lane last month, but I didn’t get to it. I’ve definitely heard mixed reviews! Luckily it’s short :) Hope you have a great vacation!
Jurassic park is probably my favorite but I really liked the Andromeda Strain too. His memoir is also really interesting! Vera Wong is one of my favorite characters of the year so far!
The ending had me in tears
Same here!!! I wanted the ending to be different
Watching you on big screen - your books are gorgeous, as 9n you. Much better than phone screen 😉 5:30 - Honey I shrunk the kids was a childhood fave, same with blew up the kid 💜📚
Yes I remember loving that movie! This brought back some of those vibes but with way more science.
Love it - screw chores and talk about books, I agree 😍💪🦾💜📚
Haha I did get most of my tasks done before I left! It’s nice to not come home to a completely trashed house!
So fun! Have a great time!
Thanks so much! I did have fun! As always I didn’t get to read as much as I wanted to!!
It was a blast buddy reading with you! Have a fantastic time on your vacation 🎉
Thanks so much Rachel - I’m so glad we redeemed ourselves. Let’s plan another soon!!! 📚💕
@@BandanaBookmom yes, let’s plan another! Whatever you choose I’m down 😊
I loved our buddy read! I too DNF’d The Paris Apartment!😬 I loved Vera Wong! So funny and loved the found family!
Vera is one of my favorite characters ever! Paris Apartment was so painful! Have you read any other Lucy Foley books? Curious if they are all as painful
@@BandanaBookmom I haven’t read any more of hers. I think I’m too traumatized. 😬 There were aspects I was liking about it. It was just all that other stuff. 🤣
Love the bird painting 😊
Awwwe thanks!!! 🥰
Vera Wong was so funny and cute, I loved it! 😍😆
Yes I want her in my real life!!! She can come boss me around and cook for me and make my kids behave! 🤣
@@BandanaBookmom haha exactly!! She knows how to get stuff done and boss people around! 😂😂
Yay! Enjoy!! No kids, right?? 🎉
Correct!!!! 💃
Glad 3 of my choices made it anyway - i am excited you are going to try Mistborn The Final Empire, it will be different vibes, but you can balance the intensity with your other reads 😃💜📚
Yes it was funny - some people said definitely Mistborn and some were like no way!!! If it’s too intense I will just put it on pause - I’m pretty excited for it though!
@@BandanaBookmom 😆😆😆 excellent be excited, it is So Good!!!💜📚
😂😂😂 of course - you'll just frame it, you should have bought 2!
I so should have!!!!!
😂😂😂 lol and all my comments were very late 🙈 oh well i will enjoy the short and am i trigued to see your chouces! 💜📚
Better late than never!!!!😂😂😂 I love your comments SO much!
@BandanaBookmom this was supposed to be an enjoyable watch and comment at the end, but I kept pausing to comment - such a great video concept. Looking forward to a cruise vlog perhaps as we get all your thoughts on each book? 😃💜📚
How many votes do we have? OK 5 great Here are mine - excited to know the results! 1) Soul of an Octopus 2) Just for the Summer 3) Caraval 4) Midnight Library 5) Shadow and Bone 6) Live and Let Chai ...I chose 6 😂
Ok three of these made the final five!!! I am trying to be very strict with myself on five. But I did hold both Shadow and Bone and Live and Let Chai in my hands for so long… and it’s possible that if I have space they might accidentally get packed too.
@@BandanaBookmom 😆 purely accidently! 💜📚
@@ChattieTheMadChatter “oh my how on earth did these get here?!”
@BandanaBookmom "how silly, I thought I was packing swim suits and a washbag - oh well 😉"
Live and let Chai, giving me lots of fun relaxing zen vibes, even if it gets a bit murdery - I don't know if it does, you said Mystery 😂🔍
I say Midnight Library - nice short chapters, great pacing - it starts of with sadness but builds up with good vibes (well did for me) Octopus gives you joy take that Non-fic Not read Abby H, but hear good things and think other books are less emotional. Also the cover screams Summer cruise, you need it for gorgeous photos of you enjoying a break! 💜📚
OK Fantasy - Hobb no - it is Amazing, but you will spend most of that book sobbing! Mistborn is much more intense then Shadow and Bone. So for the vibes you want Shadow and Bone is a fun time, decent world building and plot. In terms of my favourite 1) Assassin's Apprentice (hot chocolate blankets and tissues) 2) Mistborn 3) Shadow and Bone But your vibes take Shadow and Bone 💜📚
3:02 - wrap your books in clothes and wedge clothes around the sides of suitcase as extra padding for those books - I also love a book sleeve for book protection - books I don't want messing up, do not leave the house 😉💜📚
Excellent advice!!
00:16 TRUTH!!!! 😂
Oooooh excited to hear your choices - and yay for you! 🚢🎉💜📚
💜💜💜📚
Well i found i book ill read next, that being mistborn
It’s been on my list forever - excited to finally have time to get to it!
4:37 - winning combo 💜📚😆
Haha seriously these books are so random! And also I haven’t even put them away since I filmed this forever ago. They are just stacked on my dresser.
@BandanaBookmom everytime I manage to get all books on shelves, suddenly I gain another book pile - good Bookworms just can't escape piles whether they be from libraries or stores it just keeps growing...unless of course we just audio or e-book then we only have metaphorical piles! 💜📚
2:10 - pretty sure it is, think it was on Middlegrade March's live bookchat Recommendations last year 💜📚
Good to know!!!
Great vid! Love it! My fave thing to do on vacay is read!!! ❤
Mine too!!!!
Love it! We love our science experiments over here, but having good science videos to teach them is a must for this mama not to go crazy 🎉
Definitely!! It has been so helpful!
