I remember seeing this video when I was going THROUGH it friend! I wanted a part time job to help fund homeschool trips but then my husband was let go from his job so praise God my job became a full time work from home position 😭🤍. I struggled because I didn’t work for 8 years and then went to full blown full time working mama! I cried so much thinking I had to send my babies to school and seeing your video helped me see that you can work AND be home with your babies! We homeschool in the morning and I work from lunch to dinner time. It’s a huge sacrifice but I’m so thankful God blessed us with this job! So thank you for posting that video because it truly helped me when I was in the middle of a storm! 🤍

nice job very inspirational and relatable ; goodness gracious some you tube videos show pantries the size of a bed room! I can relate to your space and ideas thank you

Very nicely done. good job. great ideas. now I can tackle my kitchen thank you

We also do Bible Stories for history with our preschoolers and kindergarteners. You can find good children’s Bibles at Hobby Lobby. We are Catholic so as they get older we use a Catholic Children’s Bible. My 10 year old is beginning the study of the gospels for Faith Studies, from a regular Bible this year. I usually do Bible studies with the little ones for history until about 1st grade and then I switch to keeping the Bible and Catechism as Faith studies and we add history as a separate subject at which point I do American folk stories.

What I don’t understand if this life was so great wtf are these women on TH-cam making videos😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing!!

I had no experience/education related to the teaching profession when I went into homeschooling my older child, several years ago. I went through a program in our community that has the curriculum already set up for you online. It is the same curriculum that the local (public) elementary schools in our area use. Also, as an added plus, I was considered a “coach,” as my son went to a certified teacher once to twice a week. Interesting side note… When my son first started being home schooled in 2nd grade, the teacher that worked with us said he was behind in reading. When he went back to in person school years later, they tested him at above grade level in both math and reading! He still is, to this day! And he loves going to in person school. But my time with him, when he needed, and wanted the one on one attention is a great memory! Interesting side note, my daughter/younger child, has always had in person school, except for during the height of covid. Personality differences between the kids, definitely!❤👍

Seeing this video come up on my feed two years after you created it, wow! 😂❤ Anyway, I loved it! I have been a stay at home mom for about five years, now. Home schooled my son in 2nd and 3rd grade, and then both he and my daughter had “online” school with a local elementary school, for a year to year and a half, during covid. Now that they are in 5th and 7th grade, do I miss the military, or billing? (I was in medical billing after the Army.) No, I do not. Even though my kids are no longer home schooled, being here at home is great, as I can take them to and from school. And when the kids have conflicting activities (sports, band, etc.) my husband and I are able to make sure each of us goes to one. That way, neither of our kids miss out on a practice or a game. Even better, both the communication between my husband and I, as well as with the kids, is so much better than before. Thanks again for the awesome video! And sorry for the long comment!🤣❤️👍

Just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this update. I have a soon to be four year old who is a quick learner. I’m hoping that MWC will be a good fit for her. I plan to use TGTB with her too because I have been using this curriculum with my son since he was in grade 4. He is now in grade 6. KEEP SHINING!😊

EXPERIENCES FROM TRADITIONAL STAY AT HOME WIVES AND MOTHERS: I once saw a comment that said, "Men want a stay at home wife till they find out she stays at home." I've seen a number of cases where the man insisted he wanted the wife to stay home and be with the kids and then turn around to tell her she contributes nothing to the household and is a freeloader. My former colleague who worked 2 jobs told me it happened to her. After she had a baby, her husband insisted she stay home and he would pay all the bills. She even got offered her old job back, and he told her not to take it. She said barely 6 months in, and he started complaining that he's the only one paying all the bills and the verbal abuse started. Men feel its their right to withhold money, but women should not withhold the free labor they're doing for the entire household. My mum has lived for 20 years with a man who hits her, and when I asked her why she never leaves she said, "I have no work history, no bank account, no money, no education, mental health issues...what else am I supposed to do?" She's only 40 years old and feels like she has no future. Young women need to hear this because they are falling for a fantasy that will ruin their lives. It's not even good for the children because for years her sacrifice, the stress/depression that I saw in her, and the daily violence created a huge rift between us. I got into a big argument with my husband last year and he gave me 2 weeks to move out. Ever since then i moved in with my mom to finish my degress. That was the last time I'll ever live with a man or depend on one. Weird how these trad wife content creators think their husbands will live forever and always be smitten by them. Their husbands go out every day and work with other women. Some of those women are attractive and intellectually challenge him. Do they think talking about what she and the kids did that day is going to keep him interested? This basically happened to me. After staying at home while caring for two young children and the household, he told me I "contributed nothing of value." I was treated like I was not allowed to use "his money" and even told if I wanted to buy something for the home that he didn't approve of I'd need to pay for it myself. We were never poor, so money wasn't an issue...it was all about abuse and control. They need to criminalize abandoning a woman and 5 kids like they criminalize abortion. DNA tests at birth and automatic child support orders against the fathers needs to be a law. They want the death penalty for women who terminate pregnancies? Same penalties for men who abandon their families for other women (or men). I’m 60 and this trad wife shit is disturbing. When I was a teen in the 70’s so many women were newly divorced, with 4+ kids, STRUGGLING. Working as cashier or home daycare, children in rags and hungry. All my friends KNEW we needed education, careers and financial independence. These young ladies are delusional. They have seen their mothers working and decided they don’t want that life. They have no idea what they are signing up for. Any grown adult who insists on their grown adult partner being 100% financially dependent on them is objectively vile and a danger to society! My husband left us homeless twice! The second time I was done! He went to jail for abusing us, and the kids and I ended up homeless in a shelter. Now I'm in subsidized housing and no money. Take care of yourself first before marriage and children and don't rely on a man to take care of you. Protect yourselves ladies because most men won't.

Awesome thank you!😊

Thank you for this video , watched a few months ago !

It's crazy this video came up when I just decided to go back to work in person andnit has been a rollercoaster of emotions. From co workers with bipolar attitudes who carry their personal to work to getting ordered around like a slave because I am the only African American girl there😢. Crazy thing is i actually enjoy the job because I connect with senior citizens and we do all types of crafts/games etc like getting paid to play (a dream job) but now the center is closing and us as the workers are left to explain to these ladies and gentlemen that had a safe entertaining place to come to will no longer have that available 😢 it sucks and its actually some women who treated us as we were a second family because they are widowers, have lost children etc. This is really tough for me to leave them😢😢

🤎 Totally loved this video Kayla! I have been a working mom on and off on TH-cam and I have had a hard time on feeling comfortable being a full time stay at home mom. Even woth all the gifts God gave me to maintain it. Ive been struggling with the idea, be it purpose, or understanding on worth and I am so inspired by your video. Thank you so much for sharing. I cant wait to see more from you

We have never used a daycare or babysitter. Family has watched our children briefly at times but thats it. It has meant we have to sacrifice at times but we are totally happy with our decision. My babies are my responsibility.

I love all the resources and beautiful book display. I subscribed and love connecting with other homeschool mamas!!

It's hard during COVID did the homeschool uuf had to check all three they were online make them get dressed breakfast snack s lunches dinners homeworks and housework I forgot to take baths sometimes brush my teeth and other things .plus think of menues do outside activities with my kiddos yikes but now it seems I enjoy it because being with them is better than any rewards .

We love Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons as well! It totally transformed my experience as a homeschool mom. 🎉 I love being able to witness my children being successful with reading. Thanks for sharing!

I only watch two of your videos and I identify so much with you! Love your energy and I can tell you are an amazing mom.

Currently struggling with this as well... ive already put in my 2 weeks because i just had a baby and i was being told that my home environment (even tho i work remotely) needs to mirror the office, meaning my child would need to be at day care during my shift. Im simply not comfortable with that plus she's a preemie so that's definitely a no-go for me. After much consideration and discussions with my husband, i decided it was best for my family. Even before i came to this decision, i felt the pull or the "calling" to be a homemaker. Mind you, i was very career oriented and took pride in earning a degree prior to starting our family. Now that my baby's here, i feel such a strong pull to just be present for her and my husband. However, im struggling to shake this odd feeling of guilt associating with quitting a job and not having another one lined up.

Beautiful 😊😊😊

Love this video so much!!! Thank you for sharing your space. This motivates me to just work with what i have ❤

Hi there. Where can I get the over the door basket that you used under your sink doors? Thanks so much!

This has to be the most beautiful, and relatable video I have watched in a very long time. Thank you so much for sharing your heart.

Debating whether to quit my job to stay home. Currently working from home with my 2 yr old. Only 2 minutes into the video and I feel so seen 😭

🤎

Lovely video sis.❤

Loved this vlog. I enjoy silent vlogs. And we do The Good & The Beautiful curriculum as well.

🤎🤎

That pantry from Target has been a lifesaver for my family. I use it for small food prep appliances and baking dishes

I’ve always homeschooled… they have never been to public school. They are now 13 and 10! It’s been awesome! I’ve always been a stay at home mom as well. I use to have a TH-cam channel but started feeling weird about it. I say all that to say that we are in the same stage of life and I’m totally open to chat about all the the things if you need anyone to talk to 💁🏽‍♀️

🤎 loved this! I just quit my job as well for all the same reasons 🙌🏼

I really enjoyed watching this silent Vlog. It was nice to get a peek into another stay at home moms day.

I cried watching this 🥹 I made the decision in 2021 to be become a stay at home wife and can relate to sitting in front of a computer and letting life pass you. My family (mainly women) judged my decision but I’ve had to ignore their opinions and trust my inner voice which was God leading me. I now am 4 months pregnant and getting ready to become a stay at home mom which is truly God answering a prayer. Thank you for touching on as African women not having examples of women who have become stay at home wives, moms, or even homeschooled their children. I’m learning that we are the new and few African women, wives, and mothers who are setting a new tone and pace to live the life God has truly intended for us. Thank you again for this inspirational video!

I love when you said I'm not committed to the process of Homeschooling, but you are committed to being obedient and I absolutely agree with you because I'm the same, this is our second year Homeschooling and I love it..can I be honest, I don't know everything but when I tell you our family is being lead by the Holy spirit on this journey and when the lord moves, we move❤

❤❤❤❤

I am in the same boat! Lead by the Holy Spirit to homeschool my daughter who is currently in 2nd grade. "I am not committed to homeschooling but being obedient"! Girl! If that is not my life lol. But I love the video. <3

Love. This was so well done. Thank you for answering all of my questions but also thank you for making homeschooling less intimidating. When you mentioned going to school and having that background for a second I did think mmmm maybe I am unqualified then you uprooted that seed realllll quick lol. I will definitely have more questions and video ideas for you but to end this comment just know you are an incredible mom and teacher and all that you're doing to make homeschooling work is so admirable. 🥹💕 I am so proud of you

The voice change took me out. Yes edit

Girl You know im watching and thank you for the shout out I'm coming back soon 💕Hearing that your initial thought to homeschooling scared you makes this so relatable and seem way more possible for me. I can't wait to hear the rest of these answers thank you so much for this video

Your daycare experience is very valid! I have always been wary & scared to leave my kids at a daycare because of the horror stories yes, and I also worked at a daycare once and that was enough to make me not want to send my kids there! But my question for you is: do you have to be very knowledgeable I guess, to be able to homeschool your kids? I always thought if I homeschooled and my kids needed help in a subject that I wasn’t fond of, I could always get them local tutoring right?

Thanks for sharing. I am a first time mom and the thought of leaving my baby boy with a stranger gives me anxiety. Not even to mention the cost of care which is insane.
