I am so glad to see that I am not the only person that use different planners!

Love the video for each subject idea

I didn't know they had a planner. It looks lovely! 🥰🥰

Do there is no attendance page?

This was so timely! My "students" forgot to buy me a planner for teacher's appreciation week...lol! I am using the planner you did a flip through on IG. It worked but I still needed my 5 STAR spiral notebook for brain dumps and loose papers. I like the Schoolnest planners but just wish they had pockets. One suggestion I took from Sabrina @thesimplehappylife was to use one section of the planner as daily (journal) notes. Like my kids behavior, what made me smile, or simple prayers. It helped so when Fornite Friday came around and we forgot that on Tuesday I said no games. I could easily look back and see what happen...haha!

Can barely hear you.

Thank you for these great ideas!

Love this video Frances! Thank you for sharing your heart. I am learning how to love on me before the husband and kids and it is a journey for sure!

Long response. Sorry! 🥴 "Mom are you still getting dressed?" 😂 I love it. I take forever to get dressed too! Something that I've been doing is while my 3 youngest are napping and my older 2 are having quite time, I started taking a bubble bath. I used to use that time to work on math and reading, and do house work (and we still do) but once or twice a week, that's my time. I get 2-3 hours to bathe, do my nails, read, ect. The house work is always going to be there.🤷🏾‍♀️ I had a hypertension episode early fall and I just can't live like that. I don't want to be a source of trama for my kiddos nor do I like being a "sick" mom. My hypertension is stress induced so finding time to relax was a must. I take P5P for energy. It's better than a cup of coffee. 😅 Plus I had to stop drinking coffee because it raises my blood pressure. You are doing a great job with your boys and I can tell they love you a lot! Try making a meal plan for the month. So that next year so you have to do is pull out last year's meal plan and repeat. 😅 Something else that I do is a double what I cook. That way we can have left overs. I cook every other day to give me a break with dinner. My kiddos make their own lunch and breakfast one day out of the week so I'm only cooking 3 lunch and breakfast 3 days out of the week and my hubby usually takes the weekends. Also, be specific about what you need and make a schedule for the boys. You can totally have them be chef for the day so that they have 3 days out of the week and you have 4...... Or hubby take day of that's his jam. I totally feel you about the wife thing. I don't have it all figured out but my hubby comes first. When he comes home, I stop what I'm doing and greet him with affection/his love language. He comes first over everything. If he comes home for lunch, we're fixing what he wants to eat and taking an extended lunch. 😉😉 I actually love my husband, enjoy spending time with him, and I'm just so thankful he provides for us so that I can be home to homeschool our kiddos. I'm gonna make time for him. You got this. I'm looking forward to an update on how your juggling it all. It's something we don't talk about in the homeschool community. You've inspired me to make a video about it myself. 🤗

So I felt like this was a “get to know Frances” video and I loved it ❤! We are both in the ponytail gang okay, but I do treat myself every other month to a different hairstyle. My biggest fail that God is helping me fix is letting my five kids dictate our day. We are aggressively getting back into routines and schedules. Shh! I hide in my room and pretend to get dress as well! I also “leave” my pocketbook in the car so I can get a break 😂.

When I hit my 40s, my health really went kind of nuts. I started becoming deficient in B12, which hits your energy HARD! I take B12 supplements that help tremendously. We checked my levels with a blood test... my doctor was helpful in getting a full blood panel to figure that stuff out. A lot happens to us in our 40s as women... it's tough!

We love CLE Reading! This year we’ve used Grade 1 Learning to Read and Grade 1 Reading, 2nd, 5th and 6th. I am looking forward to using the next levels up in the fall.

I would like to secure science notebooking pages.

Thanks puppy for sharing.

Keep the videos rolling, Frances! I heard the raining outside but I didn't know it was raining...haha!

These are great. Games are a great way to reinforce those math skills fpr sure! 🙌☺️

This is a great flip through and review. I’ve never really thought about checking out CLE until this year and now I almost want to try it all 😂 I already have my kids picks but may end up getting the CLE reading for all of them

Love your plans for summer. It is frustrating trying to weed out bad since we have so many choices. We’re planning to do reading for an hour, Summer Bridge workbooks, and reading comprehension workbooks this summer. We also have a bucket list, so that’ll be fun. I hope that y’all have an amazing summer!

So happy your back on UA-cam! I only purchased our science curriculum for next year because I knew we were using Science Shepherd again. Plus they were having a 40% sale so a major win. Any other curriculum, I am waiting until I am 90% sure I want that curriculum...haha!

Hey sweet mama...loved listening to your thoughts🙏☺️. I was hoping to have the summer off, but we just had so many things happen this year and therefore so many setbacks. Now I am predicting homeschooling for the whole month of June. I do hope we get July off though. With the Lord's help. I really do need it...I'm exhausted. 😭😭

Definitely #4

I am thinking about getting not consumed and yes I am breathing with you when it comes to black history. I overthink it so much.

Number 4. I miss traveling so much.

Certainly informative, thank you for sharing!

We use CLE for Math and my kids love it so much. I feel like CLE curriculum gets overlooked because it's not "fancy", but I agree with you it is a solid program. I have two questions; I am considering using CLE Reading, Critical Thinking Reading Detectives or Daily Reading Practice by Judy Holbrook which one would you suggest to use for a 8th grader who needs to improve on comprehension? Question two: Is CLE Language Arts overkill with the reading program?

Thank you for this video! We’re not in a co-op but I have been thinking about joining one once all 3 kids are school age. I like the consistent coming together for learning and socialization. Also, I don’t want to shelter my kids from the world. I want them to know how to move about as Christians and interact with everyone. And the only way for them to learn is to be around non-Christians from time to time.

I feel you 100% on everything said. Texas is pretty similar and as my grandma says, “It’s more than a notion.” Let’s be friends😊.

So excited for the video!!! I appreciated your review on Notgrass. My head wants to try it but my heart is like no girl 😂. We are leaning towards Beautiful Feet books with DK History as the spine. Or Wild World History which is like a Tedtalk history curriculum. My son enjoyed Science Shepherd so we are going to stick with that. As always the bloopers 😂😂. Because I’m the only one that hears the oven beeping 😂😂.

Pre-Algebra & up - Look at Denison math! We've had GREAT success with it!

ADHD can be a beast - my older one LOVES Notgrass and textbooks! My younger one with ADHD - um no. LOL. I'm taking a different approach with her.

We did Navigating Friendships this year, too :) We're mostly doing Old Testament Survey with Faithipedia and God's Story combined, but we did stop and do the friendship one at one point when one of my kids was struggling with a friend situation.

I think it's a good point to address with our teens that you have to do things you don't want to do. With the said, my kids have never done well with Apologia. If they were going into a heavy science field for a career, I may push it, but so far both are not, so we avoid it like the plague - LOL.

Hey! I'm glad to see you and that you're doing a little better. Life with boys! I get that about letting outside stuff take priority. It can be hard. I'm learning. Thanks for sharing!

Hey sweet mama..here listening. Hope you have a wonderful summer and year. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Apologia and Christian Light. 🙌☺️

I like the intro. This year I have the following grades: 8th, 9th and 11th. It goes by so fast. Best wishes on your new adventure. 🌻

Thank you for sharing this. I will be purchasing this one as per your presentation.

😂 yes to the moment of silence for our high schoolers!!

What is the teaching style is it phonetic words or spelling rules?

Girl, amen to the moment of silence!
