There is no doubt that when you go before the Lord that He will be saying “Well Done”. The ministry of you teaching your children and having the spirit of joy within it, is so so sweet. Such a refreshing channel. I came across you recently. I’m taking my kids out of private school and I’m going to start homeschooling. Thank you for blessing my life with such a joy and excitement to teach my kids. I know it won’t be great everyday but I know with the Lord He will give me all the strength I need ❤
I don't have kids. I don't plan to have kids for a long time. But I just wanted to say how happy it makes me to see how involved you are with all of your kids, even the ones in high school. I was homeschooled most of my life and I was expected to be completely independent beyond 2nd/3rd grade, which did cause me to struggle in some areas. So its just really nice to see, as a previously homeschooled kid, how much you still decide to be involved with your kid's education.
Oh my your mornings seem so smooth 💕 I’m struggling terribly with my 6th & 8th grader(3 year old in the mix), we use all the same curriculum. You are an encouragement. Iv been tough on myself with my patience and kids back talking 🫣🙏 Lord Jesus show me how to bring more peace and structure into our home.
Your efficiency always amazes me. This is my second year homeschooling and I have a 6th grader, 4th grader and kindergartener. My goal is to have better time management this year so I don't feel behind as often. Thanks for always sharing your tips.
Girl, your order and consistency amazes me. This is our second year homeschooling. Last year was really bumpy with the curriculum we had and learning what worked for us. We finally discovered TGTB by the end of the school year. I feel so much more put together after watching hours of your videos. You are a lifesaver! This year we have 2 high schoolers, 1 middle schooler and an elementary schooler. When I see you on the videos I can't help but imagine you are my best friend. I just love so much about what you share and how you share it. In this video, seeing you at the table with the two big kids made me feel so proud of you for being an EXCELLENT mom. Thanks for being my bestie (even though you don't know me). lol
This was so nice to see a day of school with multiple grades. It’s encouraging and definitely a juggle, but you did great! My kids are still working on working independently. Thanks for showing the books you use too. God Bless
You are so organized. I needed to be more like you. I feel like I usually have to just wing it. I am in my third year home schooling. I am home schooling an 8, and a 6 year old(also have a 3 year old) with learning challenges.
I have 4 kids- two of them are a year and a month or so apart- they’re 1&2 right now but when they’re of age I’ve decided they’ll be doing school together so I only have 3 grades to teach as opposed to four. It makes sense for my sanity! lol
I really enjoy watching your homeschool days. I have a 7th grader this year and it’s so helpful to see how other moms homeschool. Looks like you are off to a great start. Your children are so patient and respectful of their teacher 💕
I finally have both in high school, due to my son’s learning disabilities we do a lot of family read/discuss. They only do a few sit down work. That’s what nice in homeschool we can gear it to our family needs and likes.
Your videos are always so helpful and inspiring. Thanks for sharing. Your channel has been such a blessing and source of encouragement in our families' homeschool journey.
I still remember watching your youngest Olivia do a lesson videos... she has grown up so much! ❤️ God bless you and your homeschool year! Your videos have been a blessing to many including me!
loved the slowed down to see how things are done with multiple grades. I did add the Evidence book, Answers for Teens and Wonder Full to my wishlist lol
I would love a video of all of the apologetics material you have used throughout the years. I just read Mama Bear Apologetics and that is one of my goals for this year (and beyond), to incorporate more apologetics and discussion.
Thank you for this video! It was insightful and encouraging. I’m homeschooling four of our kids this year. The oldest is in 8th, and I’m always wondering if I’m giving her enough of my time. Seeing what you do with your olders was helpful!
Ummm who else would join any book club Ashley offered🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️? I buy nearly every single book you have mentioned on your channel over the last three years and have NEVER been disappointed💕
Very helpful video!! Which bible lesson/study did you do? There are many options on the Not Consumed website and I don't know where to begin. My kids are 12 and 14 boys. Thank you!
This was so helpful! I recently went back to view some of your older videos and it gave me so much hope to see where you are now...there is a light at the end of the tunnel lol btw my 11 year old read Song for a Whale and he really enjoyed it.
So far, they have been listening to the youngers science because I wanted to refresh their memories on a few units we did years ago. In the future they’ll just start on their independent work.
What a wonderful video!! Can you share your weekly “subject schedule “ with your and also with your HS kids? I hear you science days. Can you please give more detail and how that works? How do you get through the majority of your curriculum done??
I loved this. It really got me thinking about how much ping ponging I do as well. And mostly that it's completely normal. Thank you as always for being an encouragement.
I was also wondering how will you give your kids diplomas/Transcripts? I'm in the exact boat as you are and so I'm always looking for different ideas. We have closely followed the outline for the Abeka Academy High school requirements. They only require for the student to take 12th grade AA, and the student will be given an Accredited High School diploma. So this is also an option we are considering.
So now that you have high schoolers do you feel like TGTB ELA was adequate in preparing them in their writing abilities? Did you ever supplement? I have a rising 6th grader next year and am starting to plan for the middle grades and my head is spinning!!!
I would love to start my day with morning basket but I have 2 little ones (7 kids in all). So we do “afternoon basket” while the littles are napping. Anyone have any ideas on how we could do it in the morning even with little ones around?
How does this homeschooling work there? Even though they are homeschooled, the kids need to take the end-of-year exams or some kind of achievement exams?
I remember seeing the Psalms book on one of your videos but I cant seem to find it now. What is the book your using for your psalms in this video? Love your home school advice and videos Thank you :)
That was so helpful. We haven’t started yet, but we are doing the same Apologetics course. How long on average does it take y’all? Curious about that time slot for us.
What book are you using to do the Psalms study? I need something to start bible study with my 2 girls. But I need something other than just reading a scripture from the bible.. I need questions to ask them like what you did in this video.
Hey there! Totally new to your channel and definitely looking into homeschooling. I’m located in Las Vegas. Do you have any insight on record keeping / transcripts for the state of Nevada ? Definitely very new to this homeschooling journey. I would love any advice/guidance from anyone. Thanks!
@@GraceandGrit my oldest is fourth grade- middles are 2nd… youngest is preschool. so might be a good time to start soon with the second and fourth graders 🤔
This was great! I always feel disorganized because I have to shuffle with my 3 kids and feel like I'm doing it wrong. Your video made me feel like I'm might be doing okay :). Also, what Science do you use for your 9th grader? Seems like it was online?

Thanks for sharing! Watching you made me feel really proud of us homeschool moms - we WORK HARD.

Yep! I haven't met one retired person yet that did NOT say 'I am even more busy now than when I was working'!

Praise Jesus !!!
Kids need the word of God in their Education 💕🙏🏽
I love seeing this! These older ages are so great to see 😊

Most of the time. And if they weren’t I wouldn’t show that to you guys ❤️
I love that poem! My sun picked that one to memorize for his curriculum. Great job, Ashlee! Thanks for the video
Loved this ❤ I have four children ages 4 - 12. Definitely encouraging to watch as I prepare for our homeschool year.
I finally have both in high school, due to my son’s learning disabilities we do a lot of family read/discuss. They only do a few sit down work. That’s what nice in homeschool we can gear it to our family needs and likes.
I agree! That’s the blessing!
Love this type of video! Although, all of your videos are very helpful.

This is pretty much how we do things, too! Almost exactly! Lol
Hope you guys are having a great year so far!
Thanks for this video! I love seeing how other moms do homeschool! This is super helpful! 😍👍
Thx for being real. I too feel like a ping pong ball many days!
Ummm who else would join any book club Ashley offered🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️? I buy nearly every single book you have mentioned on your channel over the last three years and have NEVER been disappointed💕
Loved this video!! Such a wonderful routine. I hope you continue to do more of these. Thank you!
Loved that! Thanks for sharing! Very helpful!!!

Thanks for the video, Ashlee. What do the older two do while you do science with the youngers?
Also, would love to see a day where you do history.
So far, they have been listening to the youngers science because I wanted to refresh their memories on a few units we did years ago. In the future they’ll just start on their independent work.
Shout out to chiros and natural health! My husband is a chiro 🥰
Do each of your kids have a specific life skill? If so, what are they learning this year?! Love that!
3 laundry start to finish. 1 cooking whole meals for a large family, clean up, set up etc
Starting at 9 or a little after is awesome! I mean..... I struggle to get the boys to start at 9:30 and out of bed at 8:30 :/
You are such an amazing momma!
What a wonderful video!! Can you share your weekly “subject schedule “ with your and also with your HS kids? I hear you science days. Can you please give more detail and how that works? How do you get through the majority of your curriculum done??
It’s already up. Called our homeschool rhythms it’s not too old so you should easily be able to find it.
I loved this. It really got me thinking about how much ping ponging I do as well. And mostly that it's completely normal. Thank you as always for being an encouragement.
Yes! No other way to describe ir

Thank you so much for the breakdown! ♥️
What online math and science program are you using for your older children?
Ok, I need to know what foundation you are wearing here 😂
I love the finish!
What time do your high schoolers typically finish their work for the day?
Usually about 2 with a lunch and snack break in there.
How does this homeschooling work there? Even though they are homeschooled, the kids need to take the end-of-year exams or some kind of achievement exams?
Why would I need exams when I get to see what they learn and retain each day because I’m the one working with them?
What are you using for apologetics for your teens?
Masterbooks answers book 1 and 2.
I remember seeing the Psalms book on one of your videos but I cant seem to find it now. What is the book your using for your psalms in this video? Love your home school advice and videos Thank you :)
Linked on my amazon
I did find it under your books on there thank you!
That was so helpful. We haven’t started yet, but we are doing the same Apologetics course. How long on average does it take y’all? Curious about that time slot for us.
About 45 min
So helpful! I’m curious how long it takes for your high school kids to finish? This is our first 9th grade year.
Usually done about 2 with a lunch and snack break thrown in. (That I don’t rush them through)
@@GraceandGrit ok, Thanks! 2-3 is about what my son is doing. Just such a huge jump from previous years though 😅
Do they study for tests in the evening
What book are you using to do the Psalms study? I need something to start bible study with my 2 girls. But I need something other than just reading a scripture from the bible.. I need questions to ask them like what you did in this video.

Thanks!
Check out the hslda website they have it broken down by state
What age do you recommend world watch news for?
Really any age! Great for them to be exposed to the world is bigger than just them. Obviously, they wouldn’t understand it all.
@@GraceandGrit my oldest is fourth grade- middles are 2nd… youngest is preschool. so might be a good time to start soon with the second and fourth graders 🤔

You do science with your younger two before apologetics with the older two, correct?
Yes!
what would you do if one if your kids came out of the closet as LGBT?
First! Ha 🥰
Thanks for being here!
