My daughter was homeschooled from k-12. She’s is dyslexic and had a lot of trouble reading at first so I dedicated one entire year to just reading and boy o boy was it a wonderful game changer!
That is awesome!
Fantastic decision and one that truly encompasses the beauty and freedom of homeschooling.
I taught in public schools for 38 years. During the summer, we offered intensive reading instruction for struggling readers. It was 7 hours per day of all aspects of reading and those students grew by leaps and bounds by the end of 6 weeks.
I never thought I would be as flexible as I am today. When I first started homeschooling my kiddos many, many years ago, I was so strict and to the book. We had all the curriculum and followed it as if we were in school. Then I realized that's not what's important. I needed to stop making it look like school and started catering to what my children actually needed. I have also graduated two, but still homeschool little people. Every day is a new adventure. ♥♥♥Thanks for sharing your tips.
I’m a homeschooling mom too and I have a large sign on the wall across from my chair where I do most of my work with the kids. It’s a quote by CS Lewis. “Children are not a distraction from the important work, they are the most important work.” It reminds me to stay focused on them instead of the things around me while we’re schooling.
Even those without children could alter this to shift this to say focus on those around you rather than things. This is my mantra. I prefer to drop whatever I’m doing to interact relationally with someone. If my dishes aren’t done, they aren’t done.
I love this!!!
I have a quote hanging by our hs table, from Robert Louis Stevenson- “don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” 🌱
Love it! I love your record keeping/daily task schedule idea Sara!
Love this quote!!❤
Sarah, I just prayed a few days ago that you would make an updated homeschool video. I began watching your videos years ago when my son was a baby. Now he is 8 and we are new to homeschool❤ thank you so much!
Your videos are such an encouragement! My oldest is only kindergarten age but our plan has always been homeschool and I love to see a family that’s been homeschooling for years!
Love it! We are praying about pulling our current first grader out for homeschool next year. Lots of unknowns but the Lord will guide our steps, I know.
I LOVE the idea of you recording your voice reading to your children, not as a replacement for in person reading for sure, but in addition to the in person reading that you do. As you said, "Worker smarter, not harder." It gave me an idea of doing that for my grandchildren, especially the ones who do not live nearby.
There are stuffed animals that you can record yourself reading a story and the child can follow along with the book you are reading and cuddle with the stuffed animal.
I just had the same thought!!! I could record my voice for my granddaughters so that long after I’m gone they will be able to listen to my voice and hear grandma tell them how much I love them. I’d sure love to hear my own grandmas voice again. What an incredible inspired idea!! Now to get the books or series of books that I will read?! Hmmmmm so many choices! Winnie the Pooh will definitely be the first choice! ❤️🥰🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁after all he was named by a Canadian soldier if I’m not mistaken.❤🇨🇦
On repeat in my house, "School today is 'playing nicely with your siblings' which is way more important than whatever lesson we were going to do."
“It will help everything if I’m not fighting what’s naturally happening “🎉

As a homeschool mom of four sons, that quote rings very true. I’m glad for all the learning and changing that got us right where we are today! I wouldn’t change a thing because I learned a lot in my beginning years and finding a groove! 😀
Oh, I love this! We are currently in our 25th year of homeschooling, and it's been such a blessing all 11 of my children have been so grateful. I agree we are flexible, too. I actually will miss my homeschool days when it's over. My youngest is four, so that will be a while. Haha! Sending you all lo e from Wisconsin❤️
Hi Pamela! I’m looking forward to your homeschool video too ☺️ we are soon wrapping up our first year homeschooling and I leaned toward more of the learning through play and hands on activities, nature, documentaries with my younger kids while my 7th & 8th graders kept with their school like schedule as they worked on their Seton curriculum. I was told my many seasoned homeschool mamas that our first year would be tough especially while having a newborn. I’d love some tips on moving forward with next year creating more of a routine.
25 years seems like a long time BUT I am almost there as well!!!
@@OurTribeofMany My oldest is going to be 25, which is just unreal. You are almost there, but it's the best isn’t it? I keep telling my children to slow down but time just keeps going.
@@ambervaldivieso2251 sounds like a wonderful first year! We love Seton! Im working on a Homeschooling video/day in the life video. That will be coming out in April. It’s so much fun to watch other mamas school. We all do things a little different and we can all learn from one another which is why I love UA-cam! Building these communities is so amazing! Have a wonderful Thursday!❤️
@@OurTribeofMany😂how the time flies ❤😂
This was fun to watch. I was a homeschooling mom for 30 years. My youngest recently graduated. I have very few photos, much less videos of my kids doing schoolwork. Of course, when I started digital cameras were a new thing. Enjoy! I am so thankful I chose to homeschool my children. Even though it wasn't always easy, I enjoyed the time I had with my children.
We school year round for the same reasons. We like to take small breaks as we need them instead of one long break. It also allows us to travel at less expensive times.
I love it when homeschoolers make that transition from rigid to relaxed. It was the same for me. This is our 23rd year of homeschooling and those early years were quite rigid and scheduled. Whew. We've graduated six and have five to go. Our homeschool looks much different now. Relaxed, slow, and just enjoying our farm and all that comes with it. I love it and the children love it! Great video!
As a newly homeschooling mom I worry so much about if I’m doing it well enough so thank you for this video. It really was encouraging.
are you and your kids learning something each day? whether it be an academic thing or a household thing or a life lesson thing? do they have time to play and explore and figure out what to do with boredom and free time? then you're doing it well enough! keep it up
Agree!
Just ask each child at the dinner table what new thing they learned today and stress that it can be anything then share what you learned today and your husband as well, it will spark terrific conversations and will help them to understand that we are all works in progress and we are constantly learning no matter how old we are, 🥰❤️🇨🇦🙏🏻🍁
I really enjoyed this video. I have 7 children and homeschool 5 of them. My oldest is 14 and youngest is 2. I would say im flexible in some areas but not in the time we start. We do have a morning schedule of get up, make bed, get dressed, eat breakfast, clean up, and roll right into school work. I find that if we dont start right away it will be put off and we wont get to it. I also have made sure to schedule doctors appts and run errands in the afternoons. I have a couple of kids that need speech and other therapies a few days a week and church activities that keep us busy. So mornings really are the best time for school. We can relax and play outside after the work is done 🙂. I do look forward to a season when things calm down. We've had more relaxed seasons before and i know they'll come again 😊
Similar here. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing this!!! I started homeschooling because of your family.🖤
Yep my house gets so messy every morning but at 4 every day we do chore time. We clean up, put away laundry, and make dinner. If my husband ever happens to come home during the day he’s like what happened in here? Lol it looks like this everyday in the middle of the day you just don’t normally see it. 😅 We do lots of reading in our homeschool too! ❤
Love it! We are finishing up our 11th homeschool year and I have found that I’ve also relaxed a lot over the years. Using a private UA-cam channel is a genius idea.
Also, I love your bedspread. The colors are so pretty!
Thank you for all that you share!❤
WOW! That is one BUSY day!! You must be super exhausted when your head finally hits the pillow! It’s easy to see that your experience with your older children has paved the way to your organized and well oiled home life! So many women are obsessed with keeping their homes pristine clean at all times when it’s just not realistic or even necessary my way of thinking a home is to be lived in and as long as it’s kept clean and sanitized and tidied up when needed that’s all that really matters. I hope a lot of other mothers see you leading by example! Also I bet if you shared your private recordings of books on UA-cam they would be well received and others would enjoy listening because you have a lovely voice. God bless you and your entire family! 🥰❤️🙏🏻🍁🇨🇦
I applaud the discipline you have for keeping your homeschooling routine up for so long. I honestly don't know how you manage it.
You helped me make the big leap to never putting my kids in school! God bless you ❤ thank you for your videos and for sharing your life! You also made me closer to the Lord. Seeing how close your family is to god motivates me to make the same for my family ❤🙌🏽🙏🏼
❤️❤️❤️thank you for sharing that with me.
Thanks so much for this update!!! I’m a newer homeschooling mom and I think that’s how I found your channel 4-5 years ago!! I have found the same as you to where you go with the flow and don’t work against the grain. And then work with the weather too. More work gets done when the weather is not ideal. Also, I was a career mom and always rushing to get out of the door in the morning, so we take it easy at our house in the morning now that I’m a SAHM & homeschooler. We normally get dressed after breakfast.
One of my favorrrittte of your video topics❤❤❤I found this channel several years ago by searching homeschool
This was helpful for me even though I’ve been homeschooling for awhile. I feel like there’s a constant tension between going with the flow and controlling and keeping a healthy balance. Nice to hear from a seasoned mama on this.💛
This is a hard thing for me too.
Homeschooling is so heavy on my heart right now. My kids are delayed and my 1st grader is struggling in public school, I keep thinking that it's still better than he would receive from me at home. This video is so encouraging. Thank you Sarah and your many beautiful kids! ❤
I think new homeschoolers always feel a little inadequate but I have never regretted the decision.
I don’t know how u do it all Sara. U r such an amazing mom and have the best kids. Blessings to you and your family.
I am so excited to see this! I've been following you for quite some time, and I was always curious! Thanks for sharing ❤
I remember you guys taking a year off. It helped me learn to lelet the kids learn more through experience and living.
Your family is a blessing.
I love when you put out homeschool content! We use Sonlight too, but all my kids are in high school this year with my oldest graduating. So fun to watch you with your littles and reminisce! 💞
I love these blogs on how you run the household and teach! Please more vlogs like this
I really enjoyed this video! It really blessed me as a homeschool mama! Very encouraging and confirming💝 Thank YOU LORD.
Yayy, so excited to see a video about homeschooling! My favorite topic. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. :)
Love seeing this, fellow homeschool mom here 👋🏻
Enjoyed as always. Blessings
This was insanely helpful thank you!!! I love your homeschool content!
This was sooo refreshing and nice to see. Homeschooling is so overwhelming for me (currently homeschooling a first grader and preschooler) and I know it’s because I expect way too much out of myself and my kids. This was a great watch for me. I’m going to try just teaching worksheets for my first grader as we do Abeka as well. Thank you for making the time to put this together.
Love this type of video !
Really enjoyed the narrative style of this video. So informative. Thank you.
I could watch a thousand of these voice over day in the life videos! Please keep ‘em coming. I’d watch the same thing too, homeschool, cleaning food prep. I love three rivers for the voice overs too. Blesssss
teaching/showing organizational skills while homeschooling your children! excellent!
Do you know how happy it makes me to hear you say you teach from worksheets! Makes this Momma feel so much better! My heart has been telling me this because the curriculum for my 4 youngest is a nightmare!
Love how relaxed you are!!!!
Thank you for sharing your sweet family and for your wonderful, encouraging tips! I love watching you !
Amazing video!! Thank you! So RELATABLE
I love your dedication and discipline.
Yes I'm on my 4th year and first 2 years I was so trying to make it like a school. Now in the morning I let them play get all the wiggles out and we do any errands that need to be done, then once we are home I let them pick a spot and we start school. My 5th grader has her pack of independent work and she does it thought out the day. My youngest between playing they do their independent work. So much less stress and tears after I changed things around.
Such an encouraging video! Thank you for sharing!!
I really enjoyed this video. I’d love to know more about the folder with each child’s schoolwork. Fellow homeschool mom here and I struggle with keeping up with my kiddos work and staying organized.
Thank you so much for your honesty and being real.. I love your videos. I have 6 children and totally understand mom/homeschool life. God bless you!
Hi Sarah! Thank you for a wonderful video. Hadnt commented for a while. Weve had a very very busy season. Great video. My kids arent school age yet. I wanted to say I can really relate to the growth you are describing. I only have two little ones, and already I am such a different mom to them than I was when I only had one. Sometimes I feel bad that my first had to go through some of the things I thought were necessary. But than I tell myself, its all really part of the journey. I had to be that mom in order to become the mom that I am right now.
Im sure having grown up kids really brings a whole other perspective.
Thank you for a wonderful video. And in general just wanted to say I still watch you whenever i can find the time, and love your channel as always❤
I really love the check list binder!
Wow!!! You are amazing!!! Really enjoyed this video!❤
Great video, thank you!
You were just meant to be a mom, Sarah! You are so encouraging to me. I like how you talked about just finding little pockets of time to do things...like taking things out for dinner. A 2 min task could save you from getting to the end of the day and not having time to cook. Really enjoyed this video!
Good afternoon family and thanks for sharing ❤
Enjoyed the video 😊
This is so encouraging, Sarah! Love seeing some homeschooling content :) My oldest is going to enter high school this fall (I've been homeschooling from the start) and I really appreciate watching other moms who are further along in their homeschool journey!
I home schooled my now adult children, and I had a call from my 27 year old last evening. He was promoted to Vice President of Risk Management Analysis in NYC. We had an indepth conversation about having time to play. he believes the fact that he had time to freely play and imagine has helped him so much. He has recognized other colleagues have a difficult time thinking for themselves. All of this to say play is super important, I would say, maybe more than book work. I love watching your channel and enjoying your precious family ~From an empty nester (time truly does fly by)
Sasrah you are so focused and accomplish so much.
Very encouraging ❤ Thank you for posting.
I don’t homeschool but I loved this video. So informative and inspiring, for a Mum. Be flexible, play is important, etc. Bless ya’ll
💯✔️ Homeschooling. I would enjoy your self recorded books, but I respect your privacy. Much love to everyone.🌺
Loved this video! Would you be willing to make a video explaining how you created the schedule checklists? Thanks!
yes! this is a breath of fresh air. my kids are still young - 9, 7 and 6 but really embrace the flexibility and it is so life giving. thanks for sharing your experience
Sarah, please make more homeschooling videos. I love all your content, but your insight on homeschooling would be so valuable. Thanks for sharing.
I was homeschooled k-12 and now I’m in my 30s with my own toddler/baby and planning to homeschool them while working even if we can’t figure out a solution for me to do something part time. This is so much more organized than what I think my mom did with us - for any new homeschool moms - even with a laid back mostly self-taught homeschool education, I’m a PhD chemistry professor now! I owe so much thanks to being homeschooled that I can see outside the box. Having taught in public high school made me realize how pointless 90% of what those kids are “learning” is. I used to feel like I was probably ignorant, but college showed me that the 2-4 hours a day of learning for 12 years I did put me ahead of the kids who sat in chairs for 7-8 hours a day for 13 years. Kids want to learn naturally and public school kills that desire by taking the life part out of it.
Great job Mama!
I really enjoy you're vlogs, if my children were not adults now because of you're insight i would definitely homeschool them 😊❤
Just a quick note it's up to you entirely when you are doing your bread you should roll your sleeves up on your sweater just thought I would let you know have a blessed day Carrie Anderson from Minnesota
I just bought Sonlight HBL K (we are LOVING it) and was looking and looking for videos on your channel that show you doing it. Great timing on this video ! There were some good tidbits like about popping into the kitchen to do food and then back in for homeschool. I find that I'm having trouble with focusing. If I let myself get distracted, out whole homeschool day is out the window. Thanks for sharing a sneak peek! I would love more of these, not gonna lie!
Good morning Sarah your doing a wonderful job with the kids ❤🎉🎉😊
So awesome that you homeschool your kids. I had a horrible time in school as there were things I didn't understand. The teachers didn't want to spend the time to help me understand. Strangely I was good in history and science. We did have a set of Encyclopedias and I spent a lot of time reading in them of which I learned a lot. Enjoyed watching and thanks.
What a great idea! Love the recording of the read aloud. I’ll be pinching that idea, ha ha 😃. Thanks so much for sharing x
You're amazing Sarah.
Thank you, for sharing this video! I need to give myself more grace!
🙌❤️
I am finishing up our first year homeschooling. We do use Abeka academy with their videos but with the state we live in it is just a bit easier to get around the homeschooling requirements doing it that way. Now my #2 child technically doesn't start kindergarten until the 25/26 school year but he WANTS to start so this fall we will be doing Kindergarten parent led and let him work through at his pace and if needed he will repeat K5 but most likely he will do fine and move to 1st! He is also dealing with a severe phonological speech impediment (he is kn therapy for it!) that makes starting a full K5 program this coming school year a bit more challenging. #3 child also has a fall birthday and we will do the same thing for him when he is almost 5.
I’ve Always said that parents are the 1st teachers of their children.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼you’re doing an Excellent job💖 Sara/Sarah
I kinda miss teaching my children their lessons and the joy of learning new things on their faces.
My son is grown and off on his own. My daughter will be receiving her BSN degree next year. She’s doing her clinical work at the hospitals twice a week until next semester.
Can you tell I’m a Proud Mom?🤣🤣🤣
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing
This was a great chill video I really enjoyed it loved seeing your family and how you do homeschool missed gable though
Sweet home schooling update and video
Thank you!!!
This video was so helpful. We’ve been homeschooling since Covid- approx 4 years now. In the meantime we added a set of twins how are now two and at times our school day seems crazy and unproductive. I’m learning the importance of flexibility and grace in this season.
Homeschooling mama here too! It’s our fourth year. I have 3 in school and a baby. Can you make a more in depth video of your favorite curriculums for k-12?
Great video… you look like you are glowing…. More than usual.💜💜💜💜
I have waited so long for this video!!!! Thank you so much.
Could you please give an update on KKV?
We will visit KKV when we go to Kenya in May so we will probably do an update then.
Hi Sarah.
I really enjoyed this. “voiceover” video. I hope it’s less editing work for you.
You put so much into the videos you bring us and it’s really appreciated
Even though I enjoyed it… I am one who also really enjoys hearing the chaotic noise from your very busy home.
All that to say… If this would be a method, that demands less of your time… I think your viewing audience would enjoy it in the rotation. You and Solo share so much of your family and it’s appreciated. I learn a lot from you and I also was thinking how far you have come in that you make your own bread now. I wish I had done more of that when my kids were growing up, but I often still learn things From your videos, and I hope to start making my own yogurt. Thanks for being a positive influence 🎉 in the world. I pray the Lord will watch over and bless all of your children as they are exploring their independence while serving Him.🦋
Thanks so much for watching and for your comment.
Good tips here! I am in a season where I can’t multitask (like start bread during school) or flop the schedule around. There are no margins right now! I am working with someone and/or holding and feeding the baby at all times. I have to focus on school ONLY from breakfast until lunch. There is some strange time warp where if we don’t do school in the morning, it doesn’t happen in the afternoon.
We are a homeschooling family too ❤❤ we absolutely love it!! I love all the fruit and apples at the kitchen table!! my littlest loves to take bites out of apples and peaches and put them back lol so maybe you have some advice on how to keep the nats away :)?
thanks for sharing its funny the longer i home school the more laid back i get we also school year round and just take breaks when we want to it works so much better currently we use ace pace workbooks but i have a ton of the readers from sonlight and we read as many of them a year as we can,
Yes!! The more kids we have had, the more flexible I have become. And yes on clean up. We clean up after lunch and before dinner. Keeps it reasonable for me and doable for the kids.
I would love to see a video on how you created that checklist/ organization for kids schooling!
Now that's inspirational....
Great video!
Nice video. I don't homeschooling, but during the summer I imitate a school curriculum just to keep them on schedule and productive.
Nice routine Sarah.😊
You do a great job with home schooling!! It’s much better not to stress over things and to be flexible!! Enjoy your family so much !! 😀😀
Very enjoyable vlog!
you do a great job
Great video! I am you did a homeschool video! 😊
