- If you’re new here, Hi!! My name is Erin and I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom to three kiddos (ages 10, 8 & 4). We are located in PA and we are nearing the end of our 5th year of homeschooling! Welcome😊
Today, I am talking about how I pick out and plan curriculum for our upcoming homeschool year😃 Not super frilly or complicated😉

Easy Peasy is such a blessing. Really stellar program! ❤
Thanks, Summer!! I agree!!❤
Yes! I think no matter how long you homeschool, you’ll get overwhelmed with all of the choices from time to time. I still wonder on occasion if everything we do is “enough”
I agree with you!!❤
I love that Easy Peasy works for you. It’s nice that there are free curriculum out there and it. I’ve to see people utilize it.
It works very well for us!! I love the gracious heart behind it and I love that it leaves room to add in anything extra needed or take away anything that I don't feel is necessary at the time🙂
Sticking with what works is such a great tip! If is not broken, don't fix it. Thanks for sharing!
I agree! Thanks for watching☺
Love your humbleness and honesty! So refreshing on this platform ❤️
Thanks so much! You're so kind!❤
Love that you have found a curriculum that works for your family. So important! Also, great that it provides you the ability to incorporate other interests into the day.
Yes! Thank you! Being able to add in extra things is one of the best parts☺
Gréât vidéo. That’s awesome that y’all have stuck with what has been working all along. I feel like we’ve tried so much.
Thank you!! It has been a good fit for us! I'm very thankful for it!
I wondered why you looked so familiar 😅 I have seen your easy peasy videos! Nothing wrong with sticking what works! If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it ☺️ so glad to have found your channel ❤️
Aw, hi! That's so cool🙂 So glad to have the connection!!
My biggest problem is that there are so many amazing curriculums out there and I want to do it all. However, I know that unit studies work best for my son, so we have stuck with them for four years.
I agree with you!! There are so many wonderful options out there! I love that you have stuck with unit studies because that's what you have seen is best for your son. To be honest, I think that I would learn best through unit studies! I love the idea of them! As of right now, we just use smaller ones for some extra-curricular learning😃 It's been fun!
I really appreciate this video! I’m planning on having my kids do Easy Peasy next year. It’s nice to see that you’ve been using it for a while and that it’s been working well. Hope to see more easy peasy content!
Thanks for being here! We love Easy Peasy. It has been a huge blessing to us the past few years! I have a playlist on my channel of the previous videos I have posted, surrounding EP content and I have plans to include many more😃
What isn’t broken don’t change it!!! We love easy peasy!!! I love that I can get the printables locally thru Amazon!!!
I agree!! 100%! Yes, and so affordable👍
Great encouragement! Do you usually use the online Easy Peasy or get the books?
Hi!! We do a mix of both! We do Bible, history, science, and all the extras online (although I did purchase the printable books) and we do the majority of LA and Math in workbooks. Sometimes we will hop onto the online lesson if there is a video explanation of the math lesson, mainly if I am having trouble explaining it🤣
Thank you for sharing 😍
I needed to hear it!
Do you still use CLE learning to read program?
You're very welcome! My 2nd grader finished up CLE Reading 1 this year and we are working through CLE Language Arts 1. CLE has worked great for her, but we do plan to go into EP Reading and Language Arts for her next year and then supplement as needed if I feel the need☺
@@worldofweeze thank you 😊
I’m in PA and will be following you closely!
Also, did you use the CAT for the state testing?
Hi!
@@pandragwnqueen7986 Yes!! I did!
@@worldofweeze where exactly is the test located?
@@pandragwnqueen7986 I purchased the online accessible test.
For me, I tend to pray all year long about our homeschooling journey. Then, from there, I tend to talk to the children (like you did). Also, like you, we are "budget friendly" and we stick with what works. I keep the old sayings "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and "keep it simple".
We are wrapping up our fifth year this school year and we are getting really dialed in on the best ways we like to learn and the curriculum we love.
Also, my son really enjoyed the Preschool Genesis Curriculum book (also by Lee Giles and linked on her Easy Peasy page). It had stories related to the ABC sounds and it was so much fun for my son and I to do together. It was a sweet "us" time.
Praying should be at the top of the list☺ And not only school options, but mom life in general🤗 That's wonderful that you are in the habit of doing that!! Thanks for sharing about the Genesis Curriculum! I don't hear a lot about that, but I did look into it when I was briefly looking at preschool workbooks for next year. We have used EP Preschool but not the Genesis Curriculum. Maybe I should look into it again☺
@@worldofweeze She has videos about what is inside each book which really helped me make a decision.
Also just because my son wanted to "feel" like his siblings he also sometimes did the EP preschool...but it not something I required (just fun extra).
@@worldofweeze here is the link:www.genesiscurriculum.com/gc-steps
We used "first step".
@@abundanceintheson_467 Thanks so much!!
What you can fit in a day is such an important one because we all get so excited and then forget there's only 24 hours in a day. 😅 Guilty! 🙋♀️
Oh yes! Haha! It all seems great until well, you know.... life happens😁
Good reminder to tell the new homeschoolers that even veteran homeschoolers get overwhelmed. 🌻
Yes! Thank you!! I feel like it's so important to let other momma's know that we all feel similar things each and every day and we can support each other!
What fits in a day is the hardest part of my planning! 4 years in Im still on the struggle bus ha
I get it!! 🙋🏽♀️
