I know this is an old video but I just wanted to let you know how helpful your videos have been to me lately. I am at the end of a difficult pregnancy with baby number 6 and a homeschool momma to 5 kids 6 and under. It has been so inspiring and encouraging to hear your tips and learn from your experiences. Thanks a ton for your content.
This is four years old now but so helpful to me ❤thank you Getting up early is the hardest thing and I love being reminded it’s worth while and that I’m not alone in the trenches thank you for your ministry to all of us ❤
Great points! I feel my hardest are advanced prep, and self care. I also noticed that screen time worked against us, and adjusted expectations in order to earn screen time after work was finished. That's helped quite a bit☺
When you said academics I know exactly what you meant but something made me want to look up the word to see what it actually means, and when I saw the definition I was shocked. It basically means not of practical use, based on theory.lol. That really cracked me up. Studying is learning through reading books and thatis so funny to me because literally that is what school is yet it never crossed my mind that academics meant that. School is a place that they teach you by reading books and forcing you to remember the facts by grading you on your ability to do this. The theory must be that if you read something without doing it you can learn. Which is true with certain things but I would rather call the learning I desire for my children, life skills learning.
Yep with the screen, same here, mood depressor for me and mood dragger downer. I thought it was just me!! I am so distracted. For so long without such things bringing it into your life you know the difference others don't know because they haven't been without it.
Our rule is no TV or screens until after 4:00 pm. But usually they forget to watch some thing until later. Random question not related to this video. Whay do you and your kids do when you go to the beach? We live 45 minutes from the beach, we dont go often but my limit is 3 hours, and the kids just play in the water or sand, but I get bored, even though I LOVE the beach.
Thank you! I’m so glad I found your channel. And I love this video. Lol I listened to it as a pep talk this morning 🤦🏻♀️. But it really helped. Thanks again.
Love this video! I'm curious if you have any suggestions on supplements you've found helpful. Currently pregnant with our 4th and I can feel it more this time.......
Great video. It's interesting too me that all of your points were exactly what I found to be true when I was a teacher in an elementary school. Whether you are teaching one or 32 children, these tips are perfect. - Jerusha
Emily P. Freeman has a blog and book titled The Next Right Thing - you would love listening to her! She has the most soothing voice, and she ends every episode with a beautiful prayer.
Love this! Any tips for surviving the newborn season? Baby #4 is two months old and not sleeping well. I can't get up before the kids these days and it's really killing our homeschool day and making me crazy 😕
Same here! Just keep swimming. Try to do school when baby sleeps and I’ve done school in pjs before too. It won’t always be like this. We also school really late until 5pm sometimes bc mornings just don’t happen with sleepy mom and baby up three times a night.
They’re very active in karate, dance, etc., and love playing outdoors, swimming, biking with neighborhood friends, reading, crafting, drawing, etc. There’s literally never a dull moment around here 🤣

Awesome video friend, this one has been in my notes section to do for awhile! Strengthening Self discipline has changed my life in many facets.

Thank you for your tips. I’m going on homeschool year 2 and I know I need to grow in these areas.

This is so helpful, Abby! I'm definitely in a season where having self-discipline has been difficult ❤️
Plant based vitamins!!!YES!!
This was excellent!! Thanks for sharing!!
I think I need to spend time thinking about what my end of day reward would be 😊 I’ve never thought about that! Love this, thank you 💖

Viewing this from overseas is simply eye opening and encountering a home school understanding through you in this video piece.

Yes prepping is so vital!

This was great i just started and this was great advice. Thank you!
Happy fridayyyy! Love your honestly.
Well now you've jinxed yourself. Super excited for the pregnancy announcement! 😉😆
Hahaha I know 😂🤪🙃
I really enjoyed hearing this. You definitely helped inspire me. Thank you for sharing
So appreciate your input. I’m curious, about how many years did it take for you to arrive at this list of habits?
Great advice Abby!

We have no tv or games till our homeschool is complete
So good Abby! 💕
Love your chatty videos!!! I was able to clean my car and listen😁
My question is- what do they do when they aren’t doing school - in the afternoon or evening, without any screens
They’re very active in karate, dance, etc., and love playing outdoors, swimming, biking with neighborhood friends, reading, crafting, drawing, etc. There’s literally never a dull moment around here 🤣
@@RootedinRest Thank you!
