I think it would be beneficial for kids to learn about the whole world and its history, not just America. Many things are done better in some other countries and learning about that could probably be helpful.
Or a book that tooks about what Hawaiian history for older kids and watch Moana for younger. Since u live there and all ❤
If someone would have asked me few years ago what would I'd like to be when I grew up I would have said YOU, I mean you are the reason why I gave birth at home, I became a vegan, I moved to Tahiti, your videos have shown me another way I had no chance to discover without the internet and TH-cam. I am forever grateful that a woman from the other part of the world inspired me to choose my own path, my own way of living, without taking care of what people think. Without knowing it, you changed my life. You helped me going for newness and trust my gut that what you were showing was so full of light and common sense. One day I will fly to Hawaï thinking about the fact that you are there, and that from this place on earth you drove me where I am now. Un grand merci from a French new mam, happy 10 years vegan, naturopath, yoga teacher and so much more.
I started watching your videos around 7 years ago when Sandy was still a toddler in diapers. I was a student trying to build a stable situation to grow a family. These days I barely have the time to sit down and watch youtube. I'm a middle school teacher and a mom, and my life is very different from what I had imagined. It gives me very bitter-sweet feelings to see your children all grown, it's a reminder of how fast time goes. Whenever I have the time, I always come back to your channel.
Your time will be better served watching Shane. This female is a class A narcissist. Her kids probably can’t even write a complete sentence without their cell phones. Run AWAYYY
Me too!
For some homeschool books: i recommend to read ‘the little prince’. Also if they will learn French, you can read it in French later.
For chemistry: “our world in pictures: the periodic table book” from DK. Really nice and amazing even for later homeschool highschool!
Love from a homeschooled teenager from Belgium ❤
The 90’s version of Little Women is the best! Never fails to make me cry.
Island of the Blue Dolphins is one of my favorite read alouds from my childhood.
The wind in the willows is our all time favorite book to read together and all ages enjoy it. We plan on starting my side of the mountain next for the older kids.
Anne of Green Gables is my absolute favorite ✨
One of my favorite books to cover in homeschooling is Fahrenheit 451! Such great conversation topics come up like freedom of speech/the importance of reading/access to knowledge/control/media and more. Also, my son loved The Outsiders, Lord of the Flies and Animal Farm. We are getting ready to read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein now.
Your garden is stunning! It helps scratch my green itch because here in the midwest we are in negative temps and snow on the ground! Love these types of videos from you. You and your family are such an inspiration.
We just watched ANNA FROM THE GREEN GARBLES with my 6 yo daughter - beautiful Canada co-production series from 80's. Loved it❤
BOOK SUGGESTION: The Giver is one that I read around that age as well as my children. There's also a movie to watch afterwards! Such a fun time with them growing and becoming their own selves. Everyone always says you'll miss the babies, but I'm really enjoying my kids even more as they get older ❤
I read this in school and I remember it being an awesome book. I can’t wait to read it to my babies when they grow up!
Is it really an Ellen Fisher garden vlog if Sandy doesn't find a friendly bug? Lol! That worm was cute.
A Place to Hang the Moon is a great book! Our boys are 13 and 9 and they are really enjoying it. We homeschool too and absolutely love it!!
This is an amazing book.
Two months ago, I gave birth to my first baby, and it was the best day of my life. 🙏 Watching your content over the years, I always thought, 'Man, how does she manage it all so gracefully?' Now, as a new mum myself, my respect and admiration for you have grown even more! Kids take up so much time, but it's the most beautiful time. I now understand why you have so many children - the love you feel is truly beyond this world! Sending you hugs from the Canary Islands. 🌴
Congratulations on your new baby! Best wishes with motherhood.
Congrats on your precious child. Ellen has it figured out for sure, sounds like you do too. ❤
I thank her content because it's also been an inspiration and model for me over the years to create something I didn't see before!! Much love from Tenerife :)
Tenerife? Wow the world is small after all hehe@@ichiichi6004
thank you so much!@@user-no2mz9hl4f
I stopped watching after the first 11 seconds. I used to love these videos because Ellen was so authentic, but now the vids feel like she is trying so very hard to portray something, who knows what, an earth goddess or some such thing based on the first 11 seconds. I miss the old days of holes in favourite clothes that were still worn and realness. And then of course there are the thousand sales pitches. Unsubscribed.
Yeah, she’s just awful for trying to do a job and support her family.
@@RachelTeeKaenot what she meant.
Love how yall are swimming and soaking up the sun while I’m over here in the clouds and rain!! 😂💛
It’s awesome to teach your kids to build and know how to create! Love how you all are growing, planting, your food, your garden looks great! Nice job mom and dad! ❤
We love focusing on Living Books, we’re eclectic but love CM. For family read alouds… Count of Monte Cristo may be heavy (but you know your kids). Have you read the Swiss Family Robinson ? The Chronicles of Narnia series is also great. We just finished Heidi and loved it.
i love the idea of homeschooling i hope they include current news/world news into the lessons as the get older 🙌🏼
It was because of you and Hannah I started my plant based journey and the reason my body healed and I have my beautiful miracle baby...thank you for sharing your journey and your beautiful family life ❤
I recommend you read the Glenn Doman Gentle Revolution series, starting with How to Teach Your Baby to Read. It's too late for the older kids bc it stops at 6 yo but it would be perfect for Dagny and maybe Koufax too!
Reading suggestion: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L'Engle, Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome
How is Dagny that big already! 😭 she's walking!❤
Beautiful video, Ellen! Love to see how far you guys have come!
It’s insane how you manage to get such beautiful footage without really showing the faces of your older kids! Well done.. I do miss their faces and personalities a lot, but I totally understand why you do it :) thanks for sharing again a beautiful inspiring video
If they don’t want to show their faces then fine. But then why have them on at all? I don’t get why parents think showing younger kids online is fine but suddenly at a certain age it’s no longer ok. Why is it ok to show younger kids? Do they not deserve privacy? Just cueious
@@nancyfarkas3592
Exactly. I don't get it too.
She mentioned in another video that Elvis (the oldest) didn't want to be in the videos as much@nancyfarkas3592 They are respecting his boundaries
@nancyfarkas3592 older kids can be more easily recognized and there are some really creepy people in the world. Especially those who have these parasocial relationships with people online
@@aimeebee3093 I think you miss the point.
Your children have a wonderful life. I hope when they get older that they no everyone in the world do not live like this. Enjoy them will there little they grow so fast. Thanks for sharing🌎
The Chronicles of Narnia. It's perfect and i loved reading it when i was a kid
Thank you for sharing ur Journey w/ ur family!❤
Truly inspiring!
Elvis is 12! So tall & Sandy!! Scout practicing the piano.Each family member included w/ garden is important. 👩🏻🌾
Would love to see a video on what you and your kids eat in a day. Making meals from scratch takes so much time. How do you prepare all the meals for your family, garden, clean and still have time for yourself?
possible she doesn't do it all, maybe they all help. and also maybe only when filming they take time to tidy up which any family would want to do.
Middle school books : insignificant event of a life of a cactus 🌵( teach them empathy and compassion, but also very empowering), house on mango street (diversity and culturally inclusive), and then there were none ( queen of mistery but also with a lot of topics from the characters like misogyny and racism)
Every time I notice how straight is your back Ellen. With all everyday chores you really manage to take care of yourself and it's visible. You are an example for other mothers.
Enjoying your new cinematography style and cool music selections. Thank you for sharing your life.
How often does family visit? Can you talk at all about the good/bad of being so far from family? How do you feel like it impacts your kids relationships with their cousins/grandparents, etc.?
I have truly missed your videos! These were something I looked forward to. I'm so appreciative that you show up bits and pieces of your life. 💚
My book recommendations:
Everything from Frances Hodgson-Burnett and Lucy Maud Montgomery. I loved their books as a child
We did Charlottes Web, Velveteen Rabbit, Mr Poppers Penguins and are now on Alice Through Wonderland (Penderwicks, Little House, Watership Down and Harry Potter series for audiobooks) for ages 9, 7, 5 group reads. For my 9 we are going between the Five Children and It triology and the Narnia series. For my 7 we are doing Henry Huggins books and Homer Price. For my 5 we are doing Little House. I started saving books from people like Farmhouse School House and Jodi Mockabee when my eldest was born. All quality living books!
I remember reading Bud, not Buddy when I was about 11 or 12 and I think it was a great book for that age. I didn’t read Count of Monte Cristo until I was 15 or 16 and it can be a tricky to understand book at times so I’d wait on that one!
i lived on the big island this past summer. this video is making me nostalgic, especially the sounds. i miss hawai'i
Such a healing video.
I love you ellen fisher💚
I am always so happy to see Moms and Dads read out loud to their children. My mother in law was a teacher; and always stressed the importance of it. Also when the older children can read really well; its good to encourage them to pick a book and read the their younger siblings. Reading out loud is a great skill to practice. A couple of my favorites that i read to my children, was The Secret Garden, The Little House series, The Incredible Journey, Anne of Green Gables. Happy reading!!!!
I agree with everything you said! I absolutely adore the Little House series, and as a 14 year old I wrote my own version of the Ingalls family grown-up. It was read by students in my high school library with the permission of the librarian. I am 59 years old now, and school was a LONG time ago, and I sometimes wonder what happened to my book. As a mother of 5 adult children, I always read aloud to my children, and I loved it. When my grandson was born I started to read to him too and when he was a little older he would sleep with me and I would read at least 5 books, he's about 3 at this time, every night and I always looked forward to it. He and his mother lived with me until he was 10, so we read LOTS of books. Unfortunately he's grown up now and he'll be 19 soon and as my other 4 children have no desire to have children and my daughter only had the one, I no longer have anyone to read to and I miss it! Childhood lasts but for a fleeting moment, and then it's past, and I think parents should stop worrying about the little stuff and ENJOY their children, especially as they are having so few of them. Time is short, and soon you'll blink, and they'll be grown and gone! Take care now.
We learn ideas from Helen how to color routine by interesting enjoyable colors.
The Harry Potter books and The Hobbit are great books to read aloud, also the book Meet the Mitchell's. Lord of the Rings would be good once the kids listen to The Hobbit.
The series Warriors by Erin Hunter is also really good.
Anne of Green Gables was a classic for me! Loved the book and the movie both as a kid and adult 😊
Trumpet of the Swan, Charlotte's Web have been favorites
This video is so sweet. Your garden is looking beautiful, lovely to see you all working together out there. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air, I find myself smiling so happy for you and your family as I watch. We do living books too. We recently read aloud A Place to Hang the Moon (which we did a book club for) and also Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. We also did a book club for The Hobbit which was so adorable. Currently reading The Vanderbeekers series aloud (I used to work in Harlem so love the setting, and the large family of kids and their personalities and interactions is just so charming).
can you share more about how you manage homeschooling so many different levels of education, especially when it comes to maths and science topics?
I grew up on the island of Puerto Rico and coqui’s would sing all night!! I just heard them in the background in this video- the nostalgia 🥰
The 1994 little women is the best. Even though I've watched it so many times, I always cry when poor Beth dies😢.
I love your family so much! You are such a great parents. The views of Hawaii are incredible.
Best wishes and warm hugs from Russia.
all your babies are so so precious
Great video, Ellen and Andrew. Your family is growing and learning together and it's wonderful to see. Your wholesome habits are inspiring- family love, good food, family outings in nature, gardening together... thanks for sharing with everybody.
How come you turn the comments off?? I just want to say I LOVE FOLLOWING you xx all the way from New Zealand xx Bless you and your family ❤❤❤
I absolutely loved playing the flute growing up
Treasure island is great book for 8-12 year olds!
We loved Charlottes Web as a family- years and years ago❤
Ellen I'm looking for your birthing course ....can't seem to find it. I'm 41 and pregnant with my third. Last one was a C-section ( not by choice 😡)
I know that when I see any doctor and most midwives these days ....I'm a problem.
Vegan
Want no medication or intervention
Vbac
I'm older lol ( according to them )
Help ❤
Thank you for sharing! ❤
Hi
This may be a strange questions but here it goes… Since you home school your kids, how do you choose to talk about the cycle of life? especially death… death of animals and well as people. I have a 6yr old girl who lost bunnies and has a lot of questions about death and aging. She was even sad when my birthday was coming up because I was “getting older and could die.” sidenote- i do not attend any religious organization and come from a very small family. Any suggestions or materials to help teach her about the circle of life that allows for healthy respect of death instead of fear base approach would be so helpful. Thank you for sharing your lifestyle with the world. PS I live in Idaho just outside Boise!
Love your content ❤ In 2024 I have been searching for more content that fills my cup and so happy I have found your channel that supports slow living, slow fashion, and being yourself please keep the content coming!
Hello from germany ❤ when i Need Motivation I watch your videos
Can I ask why you would show the older version of the Little Women film and not the new one? It could even be cool to have them compare! :)
just finished watching your video!!! Love all of the things that you do with your children, its beautiful where you live!
The Count of Monte Cristo was one of my favourite novels growing up, I'm so glad you're considering reading it to your kids! Such a gripping story and has a wonderful message about forgiveness at the end. The unabridged version might be a bit long to read out loud and can get a bit dark with the theme of revenge, but would highly recommend for the older kids. Have you read any Tolkien together? The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings actually began as a children's story Tolkien wrote for his four kids, which I find wonderful. I also used to love Greek mythology at their age, if you can find an age-appropriate version of the Odyssey it's such a wonderful introduction to classical history! Anything written by Michael Morpurgo is also brilliant, and I think you would really like Eye of the Wolf by Daniel Pennac
Life skills, yes, still not neglecting college readiness, should they desire to go. I homeschooled to the college level and all my children went on from there. ❤
I love your channel, your family and your way of life....living off the land and homeschooling~ ❤ it gives me hope for a more beautiful future for our world ... I homeschool along with being a hard working single mom- the things I'm most proud of is my children 💖😊just wanted to say thanks for the lovely videos and sharing how beautiful family life can be 🙏
Un VÍDEO muy BONITO... y rodeado de mucho AMOR!!!
Por cierto si solo pudiera quedarme con un LIBRO, escogería sin dudar ROBINSON CRUSOE; es muy aleccionador y adictivo.
Conxita ^:^
Dear Ellen Fisher I liked your fun filled video with your family and your trendy 👖jeans.i liked your video🎉
Beautiful family and life. You’re so right about being present in the moment with our little ones and spouse. Appreciate the here and now and be content where you are at currently. 😊 So many blessings to you! Love your hair! It’s gorgeous ❤
My favorites are Little Women and Heidi!
Would you be able to do a video on how to go about homeschooling little ones? My son just turned 3 and I was thinking about the good and the beautiful. I would love to find a homeschool community but in our area there isn’t much opportunities for that especially his age! 😭 you’re such an inspiration!! ❤️
I’ve been WAITING for you to post
I love your beautiful family and the whole vibe of the lifestyle 😍✨🙌🏽
My older boy (12) really liked the Tuttle twins teen guide books, especially “Beware your Bias”. Homeschool isn’t an option for us so it’s given him eyes to see in school which is incredibly helpful. He can learn stuff at school and question it, especially if it doesn’t seem right to him! Highly recommend for both homeschooled and public schools kids!
The giver!!! Hearing it read to me in fourth grade is a core memory
Don't introduce the classics when they are too young, I remember being in public school in the 9th grade (13 or 14 years old?) and had to struggle through Ivanhoe; being a girl it was incredibly boring to read and I know I was too young to really get any meaning or language appreciation. Same with Shakespeare -- I hate all of it to this day, because it was taught to us at an immature age. Wait! There are plenty of good stories that will nurture the kids' love of reading without being too heavy or boring.
We love your Vegan Wholesome Content! You're family is so beautiful! 💓 We have our own Vegan Vlog channel and would be honored if you checked it out! Recently we posted a travel video with vegan eats from Amsterdam. 🌱Thanks! 💕
From the creator of the tuttle twins books:
"They are openly pushing socialism and woke-ism into the minds of our kids every day. Just recently, an elementary school in my community plastered the wall with the ABCs of socialist activism - teaching kids terms such as “W is for woke,” “S is for social justice,” and “A is for activist.” These radical messages work their way into school curriculum, movies, advertising, and social media platforms to persuade our impressionable children."
I lived in Hawaii 7 years and miss it now every moment of my life. it gets into your soul forever
my best wishes beautiful family... thank you for sharing how to grow an amazing family, how to grow kids on a different ways... you transmit so much peace, joy, happiness, gratefulness and great energy :-))
Your garden looks absolutely amazing and so nurturing.
I’ve watched you for years, still love to see your new videos when you post! I must say those jeans were made for you! They look so good!!
I live in sweden so probably the opposite of Hawaï . very envious of how much outdoor time you do and how much time you can spend in the sun and eat fruits from your own garden. It all looks like a distant magic dream to me. Thank you for sharing
Where do you live? I am in Sweden too :))
@@Lena.Sanftmut Stockholm;) you?
@@ADG247 at the moment I am near Falköping heading in a few weeks to Hammerdal :)
@@Lena.Sanftmut we are soon done with winter hopefully 😄
My gosh, time flies. I still remember watching little Elvis and baby Sandy. Now they're so big🥺 time is a blessing.
My Side of the Mountain. The original American Girls series. Both of my older boys read the Kerstein series and enjoyed all the books. Mystery of the Night Explorers. White Fang. We did a read a loud for history (3 years back) that my kids enjoyed, and it lead to some great discussions: Boy of the Pyramids. They retained what was read and discussed, so I would say it was a good read. There are so many others!
Just found your channel. May I ask which island you're on?
I miss Hawaii
A couple of books I loved were The Education of Little Tree and My side of the Mountain...quite old fashioned but have stayed in my memory of favourite books for over 50 years
I was also going to say My Side of The Mountain. My oldest just finished a literary novel study for this book. If he's not interested in the content, there is no convincing him to read on. However he loved this read. This morning I actually commented to myself that there is a reason old fashion novels become classics.
May I ask, what island do you guys live on? I don't mean to be intrusive, it just looks so amazing.
Homeschooling my daughter and reading The Hobbit together. So good and there is a movie trilogy. Although the movies are more mature so those would be good to watch when the kids are older.
Number the Stars by Louis Lowry is a great look at the Holocaust to talk about how we should treat others. I read it in 5th or 6th grade for school.
The Giver, doing the right thing when everyone around you doesnt understand.
Chronicles of Narnia are amazing and age appropriate
Blessings on your homeschool journey!
You in the garden nursing with the sunflowers 🌻 is making me happy today. 😊
Ellen, what was the song playing while you were swimming in the river at the end? It was a low strumming of a guitar, very moving. Please share!
How about sharing the Bible with your children? Best book on earth!
Omg what jeans are you wearing in this video?!? I know agolde, but what type?
I loved homeschooling my kids when they were younger
They were free and loved life well
Grateful for those years :)
Yay for Tuttle Twins ❤️ We love this resource. Little Women is a favorite and the 94 version is hands down the best. Anne of Green Gables is gorgeous and full of nature if you haven't read aloud that one yet. Thank you for such a beautiful content where family is at the heart of everything..
My kids LOVED Swiss Family Robinson read outloud.
I think the Count of Monte Cristo may be too deep and slow moving for 8 year olds...fanominal book, though
Your lifestyle is inspiring but just wondering if you guys watch TV regularly or have something similar to 1 night a week movie night?
На всём пространстве интернета я не встречала такую красивую и правильную семью. Вы очень похожи на многих русских людей с их семейными ценностями.
Love your whole family. Yall are so lovely. 😍 Love all your videos. Yall are doing such a good job. Thank you for all the good information. Keep up the good work. ❤
On the homeschooling front for kids books my older kids love My side of the mountain, Phantom Tollboth, Dr Doolittle, my daughter who is about Scouts age loved Heidi, Pipi Longstocking, Anne of Green Gables. My youngest two who are about your youngest ages still love the Peppa books.
As far as count of Monte Cristo as a whole version i personally tried to read it to my oldest 2 sons (who are about your oldest 2 sons ages) and they found it hard to get through so I bought the abridged versions of some classics and they grasp those better. Beowulf is one my oldest just did which he loved. There’s also James and the Giant peach which everyone loved and Fantastic Mr Fox that was a hit for all my 5 kiddos.
Currently single and don’t have kids yet. Maybe some day. But I loved the Little House on the Prairie books growing up. And the historical based American Girl books and movies. Especially Kit, Samantha, Kristen, Molly. Great way to learn about historical periods in an age appropriate manner. Growing up my mom would read the Narnia books from CS Lewis to us.
