Vitamin N was a great book
It is! It’s been on my shelf since my oldest was a baby haha
Do you have a copy of your planner
I just have it saved in canva to reprint each year :)
Great curriculum pieces!
Thank you!! As my kids get older I try to add more challenge, but slowly haha
@ I love that! Thank you for sharing. I was looking for the next step in our daughter coding journey and I think you just solved our problem!
Oh yay I’m glad that helped! And thanks for the positive words ❤️
Really enjoyed the video. It’s been a little hard to stay on a homeschool routine during the holidays for us also. The Lego class seems interesting. 😀
Thank you so much!! Haha there’s just so many fun things to do and also relaxing by the fire is tempting 😂
I’d love to hear about the Lego Spike!
Okay awesome I’ll film that soon!!
Definitely would love to see a Lego Spike vid! This is the first I've heard of spike.
Okay I’ll do it!! Legos + school is the best combo in my book 😂❤️
I love watching these videos! :) Great gift ideas!!
Thank you so much!!
have you used Sonlights science? I am debating between Noeo and Sonlight for my son.
That’s what I was deciding between as well! I think I chose Noeo because I preferred the idea of diving deep into one topic for the year, but both to me are great options
What s name of mouse house
We use magnolia hearth and hand from target, but you can use any dollhouse! It’s in my Christmas video from last year :) we use the maileg mice and furniture that fits them
I just ordered air hockey with the hovering "puck" for our family gift. Now I am 99% done shopping lol We just watched mickeys once upon a christmas tonight (we dont do screens or characters really, but this is a favourite from my childhood that i knew was mostly good, minus the fact we dont do santa). We homeschool too and my child is just learning to read the usborne phonic readers.
Haha I feel like I’m *always* 99% done 😂 I just ordered some kinetic sand sets from YWF today 🙈😂 We have a few childhood movies we watch this time of year too!! The usborne readers were some of the first books we got ☺️
@PiningOverHome yes well my son has 2-3 pretty big gifts because I found some super deals on marketplace. However his stocking stuffers I bought aren't coming because of the canada post strike so I ordered a couple things from Amazon to make up the difference because they ship with FedEx to us. We are loving the usborne ones, he's only 3 so he's pretty proud to be able to read some words from the first 2 or 3 books.
Oh no!! That’s disappointing 😭 We start doing reading at age 3 too!! It’s the sweetest when they first start 😍
We have haba my first orchard game. We are getting uno jr for Christmas/new years (think it was just released) we also have kiddie dominoes with animals and i want whos hiding in the jungle so bad. All are wonderful choices. @PiningOverHome
@@PiningOverHome yes thankfully it will be okay with some amazon substitutes. Most people think I'm crazy for doing reading at 3 but he was so ready.
Hello!! Thanks for your videos. I'm hoping you can do a more thorough look through and maybe review of the blackbird curriculum? I'm interested in it for my second grader. Thank you!!
I think we’ve used everything enough except the Jackie Robinson to be able to do that! I’ll add it to my January video list :)
You have some great ideas! I don’t see any links?
I’ll post them today!! Video uploaded late last night and I didn’t have a chance to add them lol let me know if there’s any specific links and I’ll be sure to add those!
@ ok no problem!!
I’m curious about the mouse house. Is that also from Maileg? My daughter loves her little maileg mouse and she’s just been using toy nesting suitcases.
She got the magnolia hearth and hand from target last year for Christmas! It’s a regular doll house, we just use mice in it ☺️
@ that is helpful. Thank you 😊 I never can judge a good size to fit them.
It definitely seems fair. I’m sure they will love what you got them and be happy. We got our daughter the same nail polish kit when she was 4. Just be warned it takes FOREVER to fully dry. I highly recommend having a blow dryer handy to dry it faster. My daughter always got impatient waiting for it to dry lol
Thank you, that’s really sweet!! Hahaha okay advice noted I will definitely do that 😂😂
Do the yotos need WiFi to work?
They don’t! We don’t have wifi, so to update them I use the app on my phone and my husbands hot spot to connect. But the cards all work without any internet once they’re downloaded :)
Why does nobody teach History in chronological order? The facts come from something that happened before and evolved. Rome has no sense without Greece and any of them without Egypt.
We have already studied Egypt and Greece.
Thank you for your review and suggestions! I just used your code.
Thank you! Glad it helped :)
Beautiful home. Thanks for the comparisons. I’m awaiting the arrival of our Yoto Mini starter kit for my 3YO’s bday. I’m hopeful that he enjoys the player as he ages, since I really like how many good books they offer.
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful :) my 3yo really loves hers!
Have you tried the Flags of the World card? I'm trying to see if it works well with the mini and while searching I found your video.
I haven’t! I bet it would be good to go alongside a geography curriculum :)

Hi, my kids share a room and have bunk beds..if they are both in bed, will they be able to hear it? Thanks 😊
Definitely!! They both can get loud enough to fill a bedroom ☺️
Thank you 🎉 @@PiningOverHome
Thanks so much for this, great review! Hey I’m trying to use your referral code but am not seeing the discount. Any ideas?
They just deleted my code because too many people used it I guess? Working on it! So sorry!!
Not a bad problem to have I suppose!@@PiningOverHome
True! Except they deleted all of the points I had saved 🙈😂 oh wellll
Oh no!! Hope they get you back! @@PiningOverHome
Thanks!!!
I agree don't start with IEW. Its great, but wait. My 5th grader is starting it and it is perfect now but it would not have been good any sooner. We're loving it for him, but hes older and can work now. Just keep it fun for now ❤
It’s very structured! I’m determined not to squash his love for writing 😂 but I also want him to have all of the tools he needs 🙈
I've looked at blackbird. If you continue with them, you'll have to review their vibe. I got a sjw vibe from them so I didn't order their lit units. I supplement with Guest Hollow book recommendations. My son loves most of the creative writing prompts/format from this book: Don't Forget to Write for the Elementary Grades. He is not ready for the focus it takes for IEW.
Oh good to know okay. I wasn’t drawn toward their lit sets, hopefully their research ones are decent 🤞🏻 I’ll have to check those out!! Thank you ❤️❤️
@@PiningOverHome No problem. It's been a while since I've looked at their stuff so I may be mistaken. I tend to check out every Cathy Duffy top pick. It could be they introduced themes too early instead.
I’ve never heard of Blackbird before. Thanks for the info and flip through! I hope it goes well for you 😊
It was new to me this year too! I’ll do a review later this year after we’ve used it all :) Thank you ❤️❤️
Getting my 7 year old the mini but undecided for my toddler who will be 2 1/2. If I should get her the big one or the mini. Or maybe get both as wondering if she will be able to work the mini on her own. Wanting it for home to help her be independent while I do jobs around the house but will also use out and about in car ect. Which did your youngest like at that age ? Thanks x
I like the big for that age! I posted a newer video comparing these two and the toniebox and talk more about recommended ages! But I do love the big one for when my youngest (3YO) is quietly playing in her room. It seems to stay on longer before she pulls a card out compared to the mini
@@PiningOverHome that’s great thank you for replying, it’s really helpful
You’re welcome!!
Just ordered a mini with your code. Thanks for the information! This helped me decide which to get.
@@agentcallisto thank you!! And I’m so glad I could help ❤️❤️
Preschool and toddler
We have a Yoto and a mini and love them! But, we have had charging issues, costumer service has been good though and so far our problems have been resolved. I am thinking about getting a Tonie box for my youngest two (1 and 4) as I think they would enjoy it and the characters are more readily available (Target stocks them and Amazon seems to have a big selection); so relatives could potentially gift them at holidays and birthdays
@@ashburgess9563 that sounds like good ages for the tonie! It’s nice at bedtime too since it doesn’t light up :)
I love the idea of doing art first thing Monday morning, it’s something we don’t always get to either and I hate that bc my kids love art! Thanks for the idea!
Thanks! I used to do a morning play/art invitation Monday mornings and didn’t this past year. We missed it! This will be a good replacement 😍 and I’m glad I could help!!
how do you seet it up
Wildcraft comes with some digital resources. One is a downloadable pocket guide that covers how the plant is used and what parts of the plant to use.
Really?? Ahh that’s great to know thank you!!! Doing that this weekend 🙌🏼
I’m using Storybook Latin with my soon to be 3rd grader and we did a lesson together today to see how they are structured and my son really enjoyed it.
Oh good! Was it easy to teach?
@@PiningOverHome it was, the teacher manual has the pages from the student manual with the answers so it’s easy for me to not have to look over what he sees on his page and just sit across from him and teach it. We bought the bundle which also came with the audio file so we can listen to the pronunciations
Ooo ok that’s really helpful thanks!!
Super excited to see this as I have just spend the last three hours picking out yoto content and was torn between the two products! I look forward to watching this shortly!!
Oh yay I’m glad I could be helpful!! ❤️❤️
Thanks so much for referring your viewers to our Enrichment & Resource Catalog! We are thrilled you found it helpful for your homeschool.
Of course! You guys did a great job with it 😍 it’s still on my bookshelf so I can reference it 😂❤️
Thank you so much for this review!!!
You’re welcome!! I couldn’t find one anywhere before ordering and wished I had 😂 thanks for watching!!
Loved the video !We will be starting to homeschool in the fall so I love seeing that included in videos.
Yay I’m excited for you! I was thinking of doing a “just starting homeschool” video, so I’ll brainstorm that a bit more ❤️
I'd love to get that granola recipe! Your morning with 3 kiddos seems so calm and quiet... my 3 are so chatty and energetic in the morning that I need quiet time by 9 😂
Thanks, added it to the description!! Hahah yeah my older two are usually occupied with legos upstairs and my youngest shadows me all morning lol she is pretty chatty, but overall we do have calm mornings! I need to recognize that more often and be thankful 😂❤️
Hello! That lools like a nice setup for milking the goat. I really want to get goats someday. We have ducks, chickens, dogs, and cats. Hope you guys are enjoying your summer! Homesteading, cooking, and just venting about lige videos are always good😊
Goats have been much easier than I was thinking! The internet makes them seem hard 😂 duck and chicken eggs are ⭐️ Those are my favorite kind of videos to make so I’m glad to hear you enjoy that style! I’ll go for more of them 😍
Thanks for this! I think the size is a big factor for us as we do a lot of travelling - and the fact that the small one has longer battery life while using the same charging cable as our phones/ computer it’s a no brainer that the mini is the one for us! And if we grow a cards collection we might always add the bigger one for stationary use at home :) ❤
I’m glad it was helpful! I’ve found over the last year or so we hardly ever reach for the full sized Yoto. So I think the mini is a good choice!
@@PiningOverHome I think the full size yoto makes a lot of sense for cards that have educational components with showing letters and numbers etc. - But I don’t think this is what we will be using our yoto for, at least not for a while! (Our kid is only 16 months old)
3:33 I spy a little face in the window 🥰
Lol and he ducks down so he’s not in it 😂😂 he’s my respectful oldest if that’s not obvious! ❤️
귀여운..
I love baby goats. They are cute, smart and adorable!
So smart! I love how they follow mama everywhere 😍
Thank you for sharing! They’re so cute!
So hard not to stay up there all day 😂😂 thank you!
Great educational video! Adorable babies and the children being involved is so sweet❤
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Looks so fun! And thanks for keeping it real with the littles talking nonstop. Mine do the same.
Haha sometimes my mind can not process the simplest sentence from all the input 😂😂
So much fun! My husband and I are going away for our 20 year anniversary at the end of May. :) We also have milk goats. ❤ I always enjoy your videos.
Congratulations!! And thank you so much I really appreciate that ❤️ I’m currently on goat birth watch as she is 2 days away and we’re all so excited 🙈
@@PiningOverHome , may your first goat birth be trouble free! 🤞🏻Your children will be so lucky to be raised with raw goat milk. 😍
Haha thank you!!! I hope they like it 😂 I warmed them up to freshly milled sourdough, so I think the chances are good!
Do you follow Sonlight curriculum or just buy the history books as supplements?
I did get the guide this year to see if I’d use that portion, but it’s not really my teaching style, so I just use the books!
Just found your channel and I love your content! I have never heard of this curriculum before, and now I’m excited to dive into it more!
Ah that’s really nice, thank you ❤️❤️ it seems really good right?? I have high hopes for it 😂
