Thanks for sharing & hosting! The laminator and cutter together is genius!!

I’m loving the 8 great smarts and loving seeing my kids learn in a different way!!! I think the books are life altering as we starred from school from home about 8 years ago!!! We bought our laminator from target and I’m glad I didn’t buy the scotch after wat u said!!! We don’t use our whiteboards apart from letter tiles at the moment!!! We love DK books!!! I think our case binders are case it!!! We use them for travel schooling!!!

I love the laminator and cutter 2-in-1!

We have so many similar of our favorite things :)

Homeschool Bravely is my favorite homeschooling mom book. Love all the additional things that laminator has!

Thank you so much for this video. I needed to see this.

I personally love the story telling, conversational Charlotte Mason style …I have used BJU Press and Abeka for American history and that was dry, my son did not like either. But this time with MBs history ..he is reading through it very quickly, he enjoys it, we enjoy the variety of activities in the TG and most importantly the timeline is his favorite part. We love it and will be doing 2 and 3 in the same year. It’s light enough so that you can choose where to do a deep dive yet stand-alone it’s sufficient. He is retaining a lot and I’m very impressed. He is more analytical, strong in science and math so this course made history very interesting and not boring. I’m not sure if we will stick with the world history bc I might choose Mystery of History bc there seems to be more covered in that one as opposed to MB. As a middle schooler I feel he will be ready for a more in depth look at world History so that he may feel prepared for the HS courses.

Thank you this is a great review.

Wow thank you so much for the flip through

Ok! Thinking of getting this for Black Friday. Is this still a good fit? How's it going?

Never feel bad when you cant post videos as often as you would hope. You and your family should always come first ❤❤❤

This was fun and I loved all of your book suggestions! Will definitely be adding them to my list! I have been prioritizing read-alouds with my children this year, and it's so good! Even though it can be hard to do with a 1 and 3 yr old, it's still one of the best parts of our homeschool/bedtime. Reading the book The Read Aloud Family, really inspired me. For bedtime with the kids we have been reading the Mercy Watson series, and we have all loved it!!! We're still working on it. For myself I've been reading You're Teenager Is Not Crazy ( which I actually heard of from you), and also No Longer Little by Hal and Melanie Young. They're both really good so far! 😊❤

I'm thinking I've seen a simplified version of a lot of the classics, including Treasure Island 🤔

We love art and my kids do art independently often and at the moment my teenage daughter is doing art with her friends dad and 2 friends!!! This looks awesome!!! We keep art supplies at home!!!

We have the high school version of this to do next semester :)

Looks so cute

It’s not required so I’ve given it as an option for my kids!!! I love that they have extra information for the teacher!!! This looks awesome!!!

I just want to say I love your sweater. I also want to tell you that laundry for a large family is a lot. I know that you say y'all do laundry for everyone once a week, one thing I have also found that works really well as to do 1:00 to 2 loads per day and that's it. I get it done early in the morning so it can be done before we start our school day. Ask for dishes I'm not sure if you have a dishwasher or not. My dishwasher is an amazing tool for me to use to help with dishes. I am able to load it each day and even if it is not full I will run it at night. It actually takes less water to run a dishwasher than to wash them and rinse them by hand. If you do not have a dishwasher then maybe you can use that as a tool for your oldest kids to learn how to get them properly to help. Just some suggestions to try to help them. I know everyone situation is different and what works for one may not work for another. Love your videos!

This was a great video! Thank you! 😊 -Ruby

I am reading Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot.I have Love Without Borders but I haven’t managed to read it yet. I may need to add that to the top of my to be read list. Our read aloud right now is The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street and we are loving it! I am hoping to read Heartwood Hotel afterwards. I’ve wanted to go through that series with my kiddos and haven’t managed it yet 🤪 We are also Listening to Ember Rises (from the Green Ember series) on audiobook during car rides. I can’t recommend the Green Ember Series enough! We absolutely love it! Though if your kids are sensitive to things like battles and loss it may not be the book for you. My kids are 6 & 7 and they are always asking to listen. Especially my 6 year old.

The Swiss Family Robinson is one of my favorite childhood books! I read it so many times. It’s one I’m looking forward to sharing with my kids. The book club sounds like so much fun! I’m glad it’s been going so well 😊

Been busy here too. I want to read angelas book. I watched hilbilly elegy, not read the booksbut it was inspiring, even as a Canadian. Definitely any bridge or santa craft would work for family under the bridge. It takes place in france so anything french too.

What kind of lunch to you plan for your kids? Any recipes you can share, I can’t find it in your description

I need to go through my kids clothes! They have soooo much that they don’t wear, 😅 it’s just not needed! For my dishes, I bought myself a portable dishwasher since there’s no space for it. It’s been a life saver and my son’s chores is to empty the dishwasher once. So helpful. It’s hard for sure tho!

Nothing wrong with paper plates and a large laundry pile if you have enough clothes as I find we get to the piles at a later time!!! On Monday we often make bread so I sometimes do it at a different day!!! We make it a homeschool lesson!!! We don’t eat leftovers and we never get them anyway with 4 teenagers and my husband who all eat a lot!!! We eat out during our travels or order room service and in Tokyo my teens loved the room service!!! My 13 year old cooks but I was more scared we. She was 11!!! We let her tho especially as she had done a cooking class previously!!! I’ve just bought a lot of books and my kids are loving them!!! Some are already in my older kids rooms!!! Our house has a lot of legos and I love it!!!

Why doesn't America memorize the names of 195 countries and their capitals like the rest of the world? -193 countries are full members of the UN -Two other countries, the Vatican and Palestine, have the status of non-member observer states Many American Even don't know the name of the continent.

I need to learn to make a double batch of meals to do more leftovers nights. We don’t mind leftovers, but I don’t usually make enough for us all to have the same meal again. We save up leftovers for a couple nights though and then each pick which one we want. 😊

I love, love your shirt!

I’m not a minimalist but I need to be 😂 I’m not great at housekeeping. Good thinking on meal prepping! I need to do that more

My kids help clean the bathrooms🤣 Definitely a skill they will need for the future!

Yes! Limiting clothing is such a great tip!

Thank you for sharing and hosting! We usually eat most of our leftovers too. Usually for lunch, but sometimes for another evening too. I HATE throwing food away!

I don’t know if this is helpful, but I was having dizziness and many other symptoms in 2020, and still struggle on the daily. I was diagnosed with chronic migraine

Loved Hillbilly Elegy not political at all

We’ve had a busy life so I definitely understand the break!!! We miss our friends in our old area but we love our new location but we came into a community so this move was easier!!! I love the book club area!!! My teenagers go to the local coffee shop for poetry!!! They started it!!! We love around the world In 80 days!!! I love the movie more than my kids!!! A Faith like my own reminds me of my childhood and my older kids know this story!!! My younger kids are hearing little bits as I want to tell them I’m an age appropriate way!!! Ur book club idea sounds awesome!!! We get state funding for books including faith books!!! I’m trying to listen to the 8 great smarts but it’s taking me forever!!! I love autobiographies and my teenagers also do!!! I’ve seen god work in my adopted teenagers!!! I’ve only had them for under a yr!!!

I have missed you and your videos! Thank you for doing this video, and for all your great recommendations! My boys are loving the " Rush Revere" books right now.😁

Thank you for these lovely recommendations. 🙏☺️💖

I have never heard of several curricula you mentioned. Excited to see more of your content! Totally understand the health issues thing. I went carnivore and have never looked back. I hope you get some concrete answers soon.

I'm looking at both of the DK ocean books you showed. The white one (DK Ocean) and the Blue/Greenish one (DK Oceanology). What's the difference between the two? Which one should I pick? They show a young age for the blue one but in the reviews it says it's good for both children and adults. So I have no idea which one to pick. They make it so confusing

Great to hear the update Shauna and that things are going well to the start of the school year 😊 I admire you keeping up between your move, baby, and everything else you have going on. Keep up the amazing work my friend 💗

Okay, your kids are sooooo cute. Also, thank you for showing us a lesson. Sometimes it’s hard to visualize how a curriculum works.

Mind blown that the baby is already 9months!

My son would love this one!

Thank you forbthe information about the hair analysis! Hope you get some answers.

I love the Sabbath schedule, it is such a help! Especially when I realize I am pushing a lot of home management tasks off because our homeschool is so busy 🤣 And we have always taken Thanksgiving to New Years off - it is such a wonderful experience for us! I honestly thought that when my kids got to high school, they would want a more traditional schedule like their public school friends, but every year they have wanted to start in the summer and take our big break at Christmas. It has been one of my favorite parts of homeschooling! I hope you love it 😊 As far as middle school math, we moved to teaching textbooks after Singapore Primary 6B. My kids are really strong in math, and have always done well with TT. The hair analysis sounds really interesting!

Thanks for the update 🥰 Very interesting about the hair test! Cant wait to see how everything works out for you ❤

I'm glad to hear that overall, everything is going well for your family! 9 months old already??!! Health issues are so frustrating anymore! I had a similar thing going on this year, but more stomach related. I finally ended up submitting bloodwork on my own to find some answers, only to have a dr tell me that the test was just a money maker😳 Good job for pushing forward on your own. I pray you get full, clear answers! Thanks for hosting and sharing your update🤍

Having adopted 2 teenagers we are trying to teach them German and we are pacing it!!! We split language arts tho!!! We live near planes and boats and we don’t mind it!!! We decided where the bedrooms are to help with noise!!! We are in our fall break and needing it!!! I have kids who need 2 math curriculums!!! I’m planning a science unit study!!! I bought math mammoth’s blue series but they are dry so I look for other options before I buy the blue series book!!! I use curriculum schedules as a guide!!! I love to go with the flow but I do plan as well beforehand!!!
