We let our kiddos pick some school supplies as well each year typically. This year I did it and gave them a basket on first day of our school year. We didn’t need a ton of stuff so I tried to make it more fun this year. Annie picks things just like my daughter. Those ballet slipper scissors were adorable. I need to see if I can find them for my 6 year old. We would love to try heritage letter again. We did a 3 month a few years back but it was a gift, it’s just not something in our budget right now.
I have enjoyed this video. I believe I will do the same for my 3 little girls. Can't wait for your homeschool picks. The heritage letters would be an awesome addition to our homeschool because we really don't have a history curriculum and I think this would give us the chance to learn about history in a awesome way. Love your kiddos picks from walmart.
I need togo school shopping apparently 😅 The heritage letter looks fun too! I’d like to see your nature journaling supplies!!!! What notebooks you use, what pencils and so on.
This is so cute. We homeschool too and my kids LOVE “back to school” supply shopping. We do it year round but once a year we refresh all our supplies. It was my favorite thing as a kid so I want them to still experience it even tho they’re homeschooled. ❤
Love their homeschool supply hauls! ❤ I love that you put The Heritage Letters in a binder to store them and look through them later! My little girl just turned 16 months, so if you have a video about keeping their little hands busy, Let me know.
I feel like buying school supplies for my first is healing my inner child that couldn’t afford the cool stuff. 🥹 I love seeing these videos everything else I keep seeing for these type of school hauls are very muted colors.
I think the heritage letter would be an amazing addition to out tue and Thursday history days...my kids get to pick out some of there supplies as well. We also let get a new back pack and lunch kit for co-op
My 4 year old, just picked out the watermellon pouch yesterday with me. She was nervouse about kindergarten this coming fall, loving her preschool so much. So her new shiny folder and pencil case got her more excited for this upcoming year. So sweet!
I am hoping to see your curriculum choices and your fun supplements you've picked up. We have been exploring National Parks and these American Heritage letters would be a perfect go along for car trips across the country!! Thank you for your videos. ❤
Back to Homeschool Week! My favorite week! We receive the Letters from Afar which has been fun to add in our homeschool. Will be looking into Heritage Letters as well to add.
So fun! I always loved back to school shopping as a kid so I take my kids and let them pick out a few fun new things. My daughter has the same scissors that Annie picked and I never caught on to the fact that the design was ballet slippers. 😅🙈 Jesse is too funny! Loved seeing bits of their personalities come out through this.
Heritage letter would be a fun addition to our morning time. I loved seeing your kids personalities come out in what they chose! Also, sensory tables are the best!
I absolutely love the idea of letting the kids pick their own special supplies and snacks! I’m going to follow you and do the same thing with my kids this week and make it an annual tradition. They’re going to love it! I hope my Walmart still has some of the cute things your kids found.
So fun. I think I'm like you - I would be cringing a little at my kids' choices, but maybe I should do something like this anyway. You're right that they love it!
I have been eyeing Heritage Letter since you mentioned it last year! Also, I am totally with you on feeling a wave of decision fatigue when your head has to be everywhere with several kids 😂
I love the idea of letting your kids pick their snacks for the first week of school. I have 5 kids (ages 5 to 13), and they would be SO excited to have their OWN snacks. This was such an enjoyable video to watch. Thank you!
I love how you talked about how one of your children just wasn’t “in” to it this year. I was just having a conversation with a mom considering homeschooling this year and she said her child is never “excited” about learning or school things and she thought all homeschoolers were!
Our Walmart usually has clean out sales in March to make room for summer toys where I can find school supplies for a better price than in August. Perks of living in a small town with a smaller Walmart I guess.
I can only imagine what my kids would pick! The four packs of glue sticks is hilarious! 😂 I’ve looked at Heritage Letters a couple times, it would be so fun to add them to our homeschool this year!
The Wal-Marts here in Maine don't have as much selection/variety as yours! That's a super fun idea letting your kids pick out school supplies. I've done most of our shopping for this year but I'll keep it in mind for next year.
Love this! School supply shopping was always a favorite for me growing up. We also got highlighters this year and Annabelle questioned me on the use of them 😂
I love this idea of letting them buy things!! I'm so curious how you do sensory play for your toddler. I have a new 1 year old and she still puts everything in her mouth 🫣
That was really fun for the kids! We’ll you have lots of erasers now! I picked up a bunch of mechanical pencils years ago when office max had the super good deals on them and guess what my daughter doesn’t like them! I’m holding on to them I case she changes her mind and likes them in high school!
Those ballet scissors are so cute. I made a mad dash through Walmart a few days ago and missed those. Love Jesse's fishing pole as a school supply. Maybe you should have a fishing class for elective this year. Would make it a whole ecology program.
Always look forward to these videos Abby! Love how each child's personalities show up in what they choose! We had a few months of heritage letters and loved it, but just couldn't continue subscribing. Would absolutely love to win letters!!! Thanks for this giveaway!
I'm loving all these new school year videos! We started school on the 17th, the earliest yet! Now, those pilot G2 pens are my favorite. Good choice! My middle boy has the space dog notebook too.
We just added Heritage Letter to our homeschool! I always love to stock up on school supplies this time of year when they are on sale but I only get most of the supplies out as needed.
Mechanical pencil 0.7 or 0.9 is best and try not to press hard the graphite does break and you can get refills of graphite aka lead so you dont have to keep re buying pencils 2 to 3 pieces max for refill.
I think it was letters from afar I did for my sister's kids and I got them a flexible binder with page protectors to keep them together and not take up space. :)
I love the sensory table!! Who do you diclutter all the staff from last year ? Like erasers , sharpeners, crayons , etc Also all The notebooks that weren’t finished? Etc I am in the process now so any tip would be nice :)
Jesses pick in school supplies have me rolling😂😂😂😂😂
Me too!!! I almost paused the video to comment, bless his heart!!!! So endearing 😅
Letters look fun!! I have a world geography subscription like this, we LOVE IT! What is a common journal??
Love that after all these years of homeschooling, finding new gems like these letters… thank u so much 💕💕
I love the idea of looking through the letters before traveling. Perfect!
Thanks for the giveaway, crossing my fingers! Yea to another year of homeschooling!

School supply shopping- the most wonderful time of the year!
I love the idea of giving the kids a budget. I already stocked up on what we need but I may try this to get them excited about the school year.
Those letters look fun !

My twins love Heritage Letter. I need to get another subscription for it. All the supplies your kids picked out look so fun. Oh to be a kid again!
I'm so glad your twins enjoy our letters!
I have to agree with Annie. That fuzzy notebook is way cool! 😂
Yay! Presharpened pencils?! Sharpening them is the BEST part of school ☺️
I have been eyeing Heritage Letter since you mentioned it last year!
Also, I am totally with you on feeling a wave of decision fatigue when your head has to be everywhere with several kids 😂
Ohhh. Heritage Letters looks like something my history lover son and lover of writing daughter would both really enjoy!
I love the idea of letting your kids pick their snacks for the first week of school. I have 5 kids (ages 5 to 13), and they would be SO excited to have their OWN snacks. This was such an enjoyable video to watch. Thank you!
The Heritage Letter and Adventure look awesome!
I love that thier personalities shine through the choices they made!! ❤😊 Sooo sweet!! 😊❤
I've been eyeing up Hsritage letters for this year as well. They look so interesting!
I love your kids' choices - so adorable and funny at the same time! Thanks for this idea!
How long has the heritage letters program been a thing?? As a kid I would've loved doing that.
We started in March of 2019 with our Betsy Ross Letter!
I love all the videos you post during back to homeschool week!
I love how you talked about how one of your children just wasn’t “in” to it this year. I was just having a conversation with a mom considering homeschooling this year and she said her child is never “excited” about learning or school things and she thought all homeschoolers were!
Those heritage letters would go great with our history!
Our Walmart usually has clean out sales in March to make room for summer toys where I can find school supplies for a better price than in August. Perks of living in a small town with a smaller Walmart I guess.
The gum ball machine journal my daughter has as well and it is so adorable in person!
I can only imagine what my kids would pick! The four packs of glue sticks is hilarious! 😂
I’ve looked at Heritage Letters a couple times, it would be so fun to add them to our homeschool this year!
Loved that you gave them freedom. I will be doing the same with my son tomorrow. Thank you!
The Wal-Marts here in Maine don't have as much selection/variety as yours! That's a super fun idea letting your kids pick out school supplies. I've done most of our shopping for this year but I'll keep it in mind for next year.
Love the school haul and idea to give kids budget to pick their own items
Heritage letter looks so neat! I’m checking it out. Thanks for sharing!
Love this! School supply shopping was always a favorite for me growing up. We also got highlighters this year and Annabelle questioned me on the use of them 😂
My boys would love Heritage letters! So much fun!
I used to love to go school shopping for a new Trapper Keeper!😂. Yep, I’m old!
Love the idea of Heritage Letter!! We currently do Letters From Affar and my kids love it!!
I love this idea of letting them buy things!! I'm so curious how you do sensory play for your toddler. I have a new 1 year old and she still puts everything in her mouth 🫣
❤ fingers crossed for this drawing! I’ve been wanting to use heritage letters into our homeschool forever!!
Ive LOVED back to school shopping since I was a kid! Now excited to do it with my kids! Heritage letters look so good too!
I LOVED watching what they picked! Haha I could just imagine my kids acting similarly.
I love the idea of letting them grab some things for school! I remember that being so fun as a kid!
I’m new to your channel, the heritage letters look awesome!
I never heard of Heritage letter before, thanks for sharing that such an exciting way to get letter each month!
That was really fun for the kids! We’ll you have lots of erasers now! I picked up a bunch of mechanical pencils years ago when office max had the super good deals on them and guess what my daughter doesn’t like them! I’m holding on to them I case she changes her mind and likes them in high school!

I love the the sensory bin. First year homeschooling!

Hope our letters are a great addition to your homeschool! Happy to have you with us!
I absolutely loved seeing the kids' personalities shine through.
We are starting Early America and would love to win!

Love heritage letter! I have a couple of their letters. I have no idea what my kids would get but that would be interesting!
So glad you like our letters!
SO fun to see what the kids picked! I need to try that!
I think it was letters from afar I did for my sister's kids and I got them a flexible binder with page protectors to keep them together and not take up space. :)
I usually surprise my kids with their surprise too but this kind of made me want to try this method 😂 I want everything that Annie picked out.
Who doesn’t love a good haul😆 I look forward to this series every year haha.
Your sons picks!!😂😂😂😂😂 glue and erasers!! So funny!!
The rubberband balls 😂
Thanks so much for the video! I find your homeschool to be so inspirational.
😂😂😂😂😂 Jesse’s picks were so funny! What a fun memory
Those pentel erasers work awesome. He made a good choice on those.
What is a commonplace planner? How do your kids use one? My daughter is 15 and I’m really working on planning and organizing with her.
We are ready to begin August 14. I only have a 9th grader this year; two have already graduated.
Great video, love them picking their own supplies. I miss Lisa Frank too!
I could relate to this video on so many levels 😂 Thanks for sharing!
I love the sensory table!!
Who do you diclutter all the staff from last year ? Like erasers , sharpeners, crayons , etc
Also all The notebooks that weren’t finished? Etc
I am in the process now so any tip would be nice :)
I love the idea of the heritage letters.
And how fun to give each of your kids a $25 back-to-school shopping spree! 😀
Can’t wait to see the homeschool room and your schedule!!
Thanks for the giveaway! We’re also studying American History this year ❤
I love this idea we are definitely going to incorporate this with our kids
I love the idea of giving the kids a budget and letting them pick out their own school supplies.
Love back to school week! Thanks for sharing!
That was so fun to watch. Trying to decide if I would want my kids to do this or not. Haha😂
Just ordered heritage letter & the adventure letter & I am so excited!
Those heritage letters sound so neat!
I love the idea of giving them money and letting them pick some things! And I love the sensory table I definitely will be adding one to my wishlist!
How fun! We are studying US history this year. 🇺🇸 This would be a perfect addition. I’ve entered! 🤗
Annie’s picks are definitely my favorite!
I love your reaction to the supplies! 🤣🤣
Can’t wait to get my shopping done. I’m inspired
