    Both my children studied from Abeka, Pensacola Christian, all through high school. When it came time to graduate we made the trip to Pensacola and watched as they walked across the stage to graduate & receive their diploma. No regrets.

    Former Teacher aide here whose been in the Education system for over 20 years. I can happily say the Father led me and my child out of the school system last year and I am just loving teaching at home. My child is excelling in one on one learning and "real" life skills. As well as plenty of fresh air and outside time where neither of us are limited to an annoying bell lol! We also join in with quite a few like minded home-schooling groups with activities twice a wk and sometimes more! My child socialises with children his own age and all different ages. It is amazing to see the children learn through play naturally as we all meet up. Everyone's situation is different and there is good schools still out there. Thank you for this video it's truly heart warming. Be blessed. P.S. that desk is super cute!

You wouldn't believe what school looks like here. Anyway, I adore watching your videos. Every work ethic, family interaction, and your walk with Jesus is on the mark. We are not perfect, but in today's world I see a stark difference in so many things now. God Bless you and your family. 🙏♥️

      Hi from Texas!! Enjoyed the video, I grew up on the CLE curriculum and after I got married our school switched to Abeka as well. My husband was on the school board for a couple of years,so we had the privilege to go to a school conference in Pensacola. The highlight was to be able to tour the entire school. So blessed to have been able to go to a Christian private school all my life and now our children as well. As we see things change everywhere I see I have very much taken so many things for granted 🙏🏼but still very grateful! I’m so happy to see more & more u tubers that have Christian upbringing, An inspiration💕 a blessed day to you and ur lil family

    Something my children loved while learning pre school are patterns, matching and sets. You probably have some in your new learning books, but Dollar Tree especially has fun workbooks that are entertaining and great for teaching these forms. My guys would enjoy them like coloring books and a bonus as they were learning on top of it.

We also had desks, and used A Beka for many years. Now I sit at a table with our four youngest, and use a variety of curriculum from TGATB, Teaching Textbooks, EvanMoor, All About Reading, and IEW!

    I'm thrilled for you and your family with all the wonderful changes that are coming. I remember when my children were being home schooled and how excited they would get when their books would arrive especially the ones just starting school. Xander had that look, and it made me tear up as my memories reached back to my own children. I did use A Beka for years and found that to be the best for me and the children after having tried Bob Jones, Christian Liberty, ACE, etc. Every family has to find what is best for them. Enjoy your time being back in the "classroom". By the way, I love the desk! I used one very similar to yours when I was in elementary school back in the 50's. God bless you and your family, Jeanine.

    I also struggle with providing food for families like at the time of a funeral. While my family seems to love my meals, I always wonder if others will find it worthy. I try to get past myself because they have a need greater than my fears. But it’s hard sometimes not to go to a fast food chicken place and buy a meal. One thing that helps is that usually when I take food to a family reunion, I don’t bring much home. So someone must like my cooking.

She is also so interested in sounding things out and trying to spell them herself! I know this video is 3 months old. I hope y’all have enjoyed Abeka as much as we have! We also LOVE the Bible Curriculum! My little girl can quote over 10 verses now just because of the curriculum. It amazes me how much they soak in their little brains. Anyways, keep up the amazing work you are doing with Xander! Can’t wait to see your precious baby girl too!

    That’s a very nice school desk. Someone must of refinished it cuz it’s in good shape. I remember going to school using that same kind of desk.
    I think Atshly getting close to a antique. It looks just fine where you have it m remember you’ll be using it for awhile when baby #2 comes along 💗.
    Love watching Xander. He has such enthusiasm for everything. He’s a real joy to watch. ♥️♥️😊👍👍

    I got my meat chopper at Walmart. I use it when browning ground beef and also sausage. In several of my cookbooks from different churches they have quantities listed for cooking for 25 or 50 people. If more than 50 you would just double the amounts listed. Love that you have Zander helping to clean up as it will be so helpful when the baby comes. Thanks for the video. Have missed you.

    Xander made my heart so happy when he showed you his skipping rock. He puts a huge smile on my face. Xander always looks so happy and well behaved. Thank you for sharing your family with us.
    Cooking didn't bother me. What did was any time that I had to address the congregation or meet new people. I am shy and have a very soft voice. People always ask me to speak up. It has taken me many years to overcome this. I can do it but I have panic attacks at times.

    Oh wow, love the desk. I think it looks awesome in your room with your desk ❤️ Zander sure loves it!!
    I didn’t home school my kids until they got into 6th grade. I wanted them (3 boys) to have social skills with others like you explained. Even though we had youth meetings at church and had outings with kids their own age, I felt that the school environment would help them with social skills. They also played sports in our school district, so they didn’t miss out on those things all the way to graduation.
    Alpha-omega is the curriculum we used. Very expensive but well worth it. Their older now, good jobs and married with families of their own ❤️

    Great video! Zander will do well adjusting to preschool because of how you are showing him what to expect, I love your idea about doing that. I am like you about cooking for others...I get so nervous and I really don’t like it. I think I’m a pretty good cook but when it comes to cooking for others...I doubt everything that I make will turn out alright, I usually over think it all. I envy those who make it look so easy. Thanks for another great video!

    I loved spending the day with y’all!! You really do have a good life and I know I don’t have to tell you that. Thank you for sharing it with us!! My girls are grown and living on their own. So watching you and Zander together just makes me smile.

    Good to see you back I was afraid you weren’t ok. I love to cook and bake but never enjoyed taking a meal somewhere either. Not sure why maybe like you I’m afraid they won’t like it. I don’t mind having people over though. Especially family as they love my food and my different way of cooking.

I homeschool one so far. We use the Lifepac curriculum. Also have a 4 year old I am working on with some basics. Then the two year old I do good to keep him inline while working with the others!

    I homeschool our kids and we use Abeka. I have always used it. I know there are so many different options out there for curriculum but I started with Abeka and have stuck with it because it overwhelms me to look through all the options.
