Wow please thank Joe I’m a homeschooling mam of 4 7 and under (pregnant still with 4th) from ireland and I find her honesty so refreshing and relatable. I completely agree with her and have adapted a practical system for us that can be done good days, bad days, etc. I’ve found your philosophy of just making progress every day to be the best benchmark for me. For anyone interested that is in a similar situation with littles, I have a 7 yo boy with special education needs, a keen 4 year old girl, needy 2 year old girl and term on my 3rd girl. We do only Bible, maths and phonics every day and I try to do a read aloud of a book also. Our Bible most days is a family chapter a day at breakfast (my husband works remotely from home) and if not we will do a devotional dipper or a short teaching from a kids book I have about proverbs. We probably should be doing more but I have a lot of Christian kids books for them to read and flick through throughout the day and when the time comes I do have a Bible curriculum I want to do, but for now this just works! For maths I follow a 7 workbook series by their school year and we do 1-2 pages a day. In their phonics, they similarly have workbooks to solidify phonics to get them reading well. They individually do a word sound a day and a work page for that and a short associated reading. We revise each day with flash cards. The curriculum I use jolly phonics is multi sensory which is great for all my kids but especially my boy with sensory issues. There is a hand motion, song, sound and visual for each letter sound/letter groupings and we’ve learned them off and combine them to remember the phonetics when reading. And then we leave it there! My son needs a lot of breaks whereas my 4 year old could do her work all day and my 2 year old just wants my attention constantly but most days I can keep her occupied and try to help her feel involved too. I have a lot of books on the shelves that encompass Bible, science and history and we have a sort of unschooling approach to those. I try to get them to help me out at home as much as possible but to be honest with pregnancy some days are more organised and idealistic than others! I try to point them to Christ every day. I fall short often and yes there can be tempers and sinful behaviour. I’m thankful for God’s grace and need to prioritise seeking Him more every day. But I love homeschooling and I’m thankful for my kids and opportunity I have with them.

Your messages have been so inspiring and helpful to me lately.

How I love watching your videos. Thank you very much for the beautiful work here on You Tube. a hug from Brazil

Your biblical focus and practical advice is always so encouraging, thank you for sharing!

Spot on! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing this!😊

My kids does the same lol. I already ordered crazy stuff from Temu for Christmas. Instead dong real toys. Those things keep them more entertained lol!

Thank you for sharing. I always find one week of the month super difficult! My mood and patience is so low and I really do find it hard to keep up the pace and keep our routine going! its something i am trying to work on but its a challenge for sure

What a wonderful, encouraging video! Definitely needed this one. I so appreciate you and your channel ❤

Your videos are just so encouraging! Thank you so much for sharing❤

After you have a child reading fluently, what do you do next for language arts? Do they continue to do copy work and is there anything else you add to that?

Beautiful video thank you so much

Wonderful video. ❤

Beautiful colors out there, thank you for the well-made video and the encouraging advice. I felt discouraged the past few days as well and knowing I'm not alone helps. My get away moment (little one is napping, eldest is with dad) I took it to finally watch your video. Thank you.

I need to have a kitchen helper more regularly! Great idea. ♥️

I appreciate that in your busy life, you take time to encourage us younger moms. I have 5 right now. My oldest just turned 8 and my last two are 1 yr old twins. I often feel overwhelmed. It helps to watch other people live it out with even more in the mix. I wish i knew you in real life 💕 but wanted to take time to say thanks! It is helpful!

Lovely! So similar, it’s comforting. There’s another book called Thirty More Famous Stories! 😁♥️We love Fifty Famous here, too.

How you decide who help the cooking and washing. Is there a rule for each day or they just help randomly.

Hi, I would like the link to the 50 history book you mentioned in this video please. Also interested in the blocks shown in the video please. Thank you 😊

I had the absolute worst day yesterday in our many many years of homeschooling and now I have lost sleep over it. It feels good to hear your voice at 251 this morning. Blessings to you, Sherri. Thanks for your peaceful message today.

Hello. A helpful message. Thank you. Are you able to link the online history book you referred to at the beginning of the video?

Even the simple knowledge of knowing that it’s not just my kids, encourages me. Thank you so much for sharing these tips ❤

Thank you for posting this. Timing was perfect as my kids just got over being sick and now my oldest has a sprained ankle. These past 2 weeks have been discouraging to me and my.mind starts to wonder about public school. I will accept your challenge today and take some time to be alone and with God. Thank you!

I really need this. I've had a rough few weeks 😢 my kids have been fighting me every step of the way, telling me the school work or Bible study is boring, trying to run around, telling me I don't want to etc. I am so tired 😢

I appreciate your constant reminders to rely on God. Ever since I found your Chanel I have been in Gods words every day with my children and on my own. “Is anything too hard for the Lord.” Genesis 18:14

Amazing life I wish I had a friend like you ❤

Excellent, thankyou. Not homeschooling at the moment, but the next generation has just been born, with another due in 6 months, so l'm keeping my hand in, and looking forward to granny -schooling! (A new term l just made up... Hah!) God bless you all. I have subscribed from Australia.😊❤️✝️

❤

Needed to hear this. Thank you ❤

Keep trying! It took me several YEARS (and tears) to get homeschooling working as it is today. I had to work on myself while working on and with my children. We ALL had to grow and accept the stages of each of us. Thank you for this video! I am grateful for the hard times. Homeschool allows for these times (if we give it permission) and the fruits are abundant!

As soon as I heard you’re a Christian mother of 10, instantly subbed! Thank you for your God glorifying honesty. Mother of soon to be 4, second year homeschooling (had my oldest with special education needs in a Christian school but God called us to homeschool) and I love it but find it challenging keeping all the plates spinning. I get overwhelmed and distracted from the bigger eternal picture too often. I’m just coasting in survival mode right now while waiting for baby in a few weeks and still have the toddler in the bed! But I see God has been so gracious and faithful. Will be pouring over your videos whenever I can for inspiration! It’s a delight to learn from seasoned mothers like you. My oldest is 7 and I still feel so new to motherhood.

Beautiful ❤ thank you for the encouragement.

I am so happy I found your channel ❤

This was so encouraging. Thanks for sharing!!!

As a mom who gives up too easy this title really grabbed me!

Hello. First time visiting 🙂 I enjoyed this video/encouragement. I am a mom of a 1 1/2 year boy who loves the outdoors. With winter coming up, could you do a video on how your kids get their energy out during this season?

Love your advice on leaving for a bit of quiet time in the Word to return refreshed. It's the best reset button! Great channel. Thank you.

I love your balanced perspective ❤

Could you please share what typing program y’all use?

Oh, I needed to hear this today! Thank you.

I adore your homestead! 🦆 🌷 It takes a lot of persistence and figuring out the balance of having time to be peaceful and rest. A big lesson for me has been how important rest is; I've struggled to remember it's one of the Commandments/Utterances! ❤️ I have a severe special needs child and it's been rough meeting so many people that judge me for homeschool because they don't recognize the progress, they haven't been here. My husband and I do, I'm so greatful the Lord has blessed us with this opportunity and to see the rewards for our children. Even if others do not.

Off topic of your excellent video…I saw your daughter using her fingers for what seemed like math. Do you allow that? I’m new to homeschooling and we are using math with confidence. It seems most math requires using mental math and not fingers 🫣 this is so hard for my a few of my kids! I feel like we may never move on. It makes us feel stuck.

You’re my favourite homeschooling UA-cam channel ❤

Thank you! Your videos are always uplifting!❤

Loved the little stick ranch in the yard❤

Did you use stmath website for kids what is your opinion?

Thanks for your great vids. My wife is always discussing your ideas. Keep up the good work. God bless

Thank you! Greetings from a Belgian homeschool mom. God provides! And yes, maybe no one really notices our work, He sees it, He is with us.

Very encouraging ❤ thank you

Thank you very much for the encouragement! I am so glad to find your channel.
