Hi Shirley, I’m a mom to five little ones ages 8, 7, 5, 2 and 9 months and I just wanted to say that I couldn’t have seen this video at a better time. 😭Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge with me and all of us ladies who stumble upon your page. YOU ARE A BLESSING! ❤

I myself have a lot to work on. Very humbling. Thank you for sharing this. ❤

You are such a sweet soul. Thank you so much for sharing! Bless you.

Thanks for this sincere sharing and your toolbox phrases. Will try with my boys!!!!

Thank you for this! My older son, my 8 year old, is my strong-willed one. I will confess that there have been times where I've felt like a failure, even though we have been pretty intentional with discipline and correction. I think it's something that people don't understand unless they've been through it.

I've done ballet for I don't even know how long and now I'm 12 and my fitting is tomorrow! So excited!

Hi. Great idea to have time for yourselves. I was wondering will you all go camping again in the pop up camper. That’s how i first found this channel.

I am a kindergarten Montessori teacher, and your "tough love" tune with me and makes sense to raise independent kids that can be grateful, appreciative. You inspire me, Shirley🌺🌺🌷🌷 Could you please talk on another video on how to teach kids set boundaries for themselves? I've seen in siblings' rivalry when some kids do not know how to fairly and respectfully defend themselves.

I can’t wait to start !!!! I’m gonna do this with my three boys all the ages. 8, 11, 14 !!! We can’t wait! We just a slower start, a way to cultivate our hearts and stop the rat race!!!! Your channel is inspiring and your tips seem so helpful.

It also helps to have a qualified family therapist to work with. I highly recommend if you have neurodivergent children (you are yourself) ADHD, OCD, ODD and major health issues like celiac in children YOU need a therapists. I found the most amazing one, a believer, a grandma whose fruit of her family shines through. There is no shame only joy getting help and resources. Because sometimes it’s not the parenting it’s all the other stuff. After a year of therapy I find I naturally am calm and collected. The yelling was a symptom… I absolutely take captive my thoughts and mediate on scripture. I even made a UA-cam play list I listen to over and over again to remind myself of His words!!!!

Rest…do a sleep study!!! I found I am not getting enough oxygen and that’s probably the issue…waiting for my appointment to get the mask!!!! Hoping and praying this helps.

I have just had my 4th baby who is a month old. 3 boys and 1 girl now. However, im sick of people imposing their thoughts on me! Im sick of people asking me if im done because I know they are trying to tell me thats enough. If you want one child its up to you. If u want 10 its up to you. I would never want to get to 10 kids coz i think thats too many for me. At the same time I would never tell someone who has 10 kids to stop having them.I will just mind my own business. However, stop asking me if im done yet. I always get this question wen im pregnant, its specially strangers or people who just know me and are not my friends. I noticed i started to get insecure and started responding, saying its my last just to be accepted in the society. I have to say I blame myself for being insecure and I've ended up lying to myself and random people saying I have enough. Hey, Im done with this. Not anymore! I'll do the hell i want!! If i get pregnant for the 5th time i will say its non of your business. Stay the hell away from planning for me. I'm living my life. Live yours.

Great video! Great job!

💜💜💜

Do you still homeschool?! And if so can you share the curriculum you love to use?

Awesome ❤

Marriage always come first,your jobs are to raise amazing citizens to society, they will eventually leave the nest when you two will remain.... Marriage comes FIRST!

This is so helpful❤

Really great idea, thank you so much! I'm not particularly creative or naturally good at homeschooling, so this really helps change the game for kiddos learning faster.

Thank you very helpful 😊

This video is truly a blessing!! I have been praying about how to address my son's behavior. I say constantly, his strong will is great for a 40 year old, but not a 4 year old. Your video has made me change my mind about that a little. We need to do more teaching him how to channel that strong will for good. He has such amazing qualities, but there are times when he gets overwhelmed with his emotions and we need to teach him how to control those. I LOVE that you followed God's guidance and it inspires me to do the same!

00:58 Are you towing with a minivan? The reason I ask is because we have a minivan (Honda Odyssey w/ 3500 pound towing capacity) and we're looking at getting a pop-up trailer when we come back to the States. If so, how does it tow and have you had any issues? Thanks for showing us around! Safe travels always!! 🤙

'promo sm' 🌺

The one thing no one ever mentions about a pop up is the fuel mileage saver. I have a 2021 Forest River Rockwood HW 277. Dry weight is 3,400 lbs plus all the dry goods and clothes we add, which is about 250lbs. We also load the truck bed with about 300lbs and cabin weight is about 700lbs. I still GET 15.5-16MPG IN MY F150!!! Meanwhile, others are hauling these big rigs, even bumper pulls, and are barely getting 10mpg. I will never get a big rig. Even if my kids are teenagers.

That ladie looks like my cusin

Thank you for this!! May I ask, do you get the course kit or do you just mainly go off the main book.

Hi Shirley and Dustin... My kids feel neglected when asked to sleep in their room.. they probably think of the reason that mom and dad are sleeping together...reasons which their pre teen minds may get confused about . How to politely ask them to sleep as my husband is very attached on the younger one who's 6 sleep with us. I too feel that this age will go and then they will grow up and ultimately sleep on theor own so why not let them.be with us.... And as it is , here in india Co sleeping for a longer time is common. Love from india

Great video!

How gracefully u both of confronted this real situation

I think kids should say put their own laundry away. Also moms should do the most cleaning. Happier home

My daughter gives too many chores and like her 9 yr old does family folding of laundry. It takes her over hour in tears. Washing all family dishes too much. I think moms should work with kids. They have more motivation w help.

Thats pretty cool how He worked that out!

Do you still homeschool your kids?

This was so encouraging!

Loved this!!

I miss the homeschool content.

"this child does not have any special needs that i'm aware of" *goes on to perfectly describe a neurodivergent child*

Thank you for your words of encouragement.. please continue to make these videos to help speak life and encouragement. They really matter and are very much appreciated. Thank you 🥹❤

This was adorable!! Love love love how you guys are making it work for you. I love seeing how creative families can get to accommodate everyone and have a great time!! Lovely set up! Thanks for sharing ♥

Inspirational! Thanks for sharing

i was 9weeks pregnant it showed at my 11-12weeks scan on 19th December 2023 but passed the miscarriage at home on 2nd January 2024, i had some spotting but red online that spotting can be something normal. i also took the natural route. it took a while almost 2 weeks. and it was so bloody painful. i screamed aswell. it was so horrendous. but i bled so much with clots that i actually passed out.

It's true, you really feel so alone.😢😢. I just went through it 2 days ago and just had some more clots come today aswell.😢😢. there's just no way to get through it without bawling. 😭😭😭. it's so hard. I'm so glad I'm not alone.

Love your layout in your pop-up and you have a beautiful family

I like these tips and find them helpful

I'm glad you guys are willing to share about the hard parts. So many people get divorced because they think it will be "easier". I don't believe everyone should stay married, but I do think many people bail too quickly. My parents divorced when I was 9. I am 40 now and have children of my own. The best gift my parents gave my sister and I was that they made it a point to get along and not talk trash about the other person, as much as they were able. They would joke now and then, but they were never nasty to each other. Kids figure out the truth on their own, but still want don't want to hear one of their parents talk nasty about the other one. I don't say this because I think that's what you guys do, but only because many of my friend's parents who divorced were that way and it wasn't beneficial for anyone involved. Now, all these years later, they all want to be able to spend as much time with their grandkids as possible, so we ALL spend most holidays together, and even vacation together. My parents and step-parents all get along well and now I have a half-sister and step-sister who make my life more rich. For Christmas, the tradition has always been Christmas Eve with my dad and step-mom, and Christmas Day with my Mom and step-dad. One last piece of unsolicited advice...the less transitions your kids have to do, the better. We started out switching every week, then went to every two weeks because the transitions were the hardest part. My parents moved within a few miles of each other, though, so we could always pop over and visit for short periods of time.

Happy to see a new video ❤ Thank you for sharing this!

Look forward to more videos

This message really hits home. My ex husband moved out of state 8 years ago. Since then, we alternate between Thanksgiving and Christmas, where my daughter spends a whole month with him. (She's homescholled, so it's easy for her to do that). Let me tell you, it hasn't gotten any easier as the years go on. I'm remarried now with our own daughter together. But I think it's little sister that misses my oldest the most. We try to stay busy, stay on a school schedule as best we can. I draw comfort in the knowledge that spending time with her Dad is what my daughter needs. It may hurt my mama heart and I miss her. But it's not about me. It's what *she* needs that matters most.

So happy for yall ❤ I love the notes coming down the stairs on Christmas morning, such a fabulous idea! Merry Christmas y'all 😊

Welcome back!
