Love the binders!!!! Very organized!!!!! Great idea!!!! I think it is so nice that you are able to home school your babies! Your babies will know of God and his wonderful love! That is precious! You will not have to worry about anyone trying to influence their beliefs! You are such a blessing young lady! I know that your parents are so proud of you!!!! You have such a beautiful family and I enjoy your honest and Christian channel!
You are a great Mama. You speak so kind to your boys. It is awesome that you are homeschooling and teaching your children Christian values! I really like your channel and share things with my daughter from it. My daughter also homeschools so sent her this video.
Homeschool mom of 3 grown children. Our children learned from the couch and recliner and the great outdoors! Many parents do school at home which is so different then homeschooling! We used Abeka as well. (Many years ago) 😊 Still loved watching as it brought back many great memories!
Wow! I miss those days. My oldest of four is now 42 and my baby is 30. We used the older editions of those same books. I still have them and cannot part with the memories!! Have fun and treasure every moment . . . thanks for your channel!
I used to work as a Secretary at a Christian School. And Andrea you get a A+ A+ A+ Love this! My niece also Homeschool’s! Way to go! I hope this inspires Mother’s that they can do this!
Love this!!!! I was also a public school teacher until I had my first child. Homeschooling is so wonderful and my homeschool space doesn’t resemble a classroom at all! That’s the beauty of it!
So wonderful. I'm a retired teacher, and I can truly say that I would definitely home school, if I were raising my children today. Such a great opportunity to speak into your children's lives with the values you believe in. God bless you, sweet family.
That was the most real video yet! lol. I loved it! The kids, your hair not being perfect (still beautiful), the school books all over the floor, the box-man (what a cutie), etc. Precious family moments. I so enjoy your videos and this was a nice reality check video in the midst of striving to make a home you love and sharing your spaces.
I think homeschooling is so awesome. I could never do it because I was a single parent and had to go to work. They are all grown up, married, and have great careers. I wish I could homeschool my grandkids but right now their parents are sending them to regular school. It’s fine. I did help them during the time they were doing on line school and that was fun. I especially like doing field trips with my kindergartener. So much fun. Good memories.
I am so grateful I came across this video. So many people share their home school room and it’s an entire classroom. I was feeling discouraged as we don’t have that kind of space. Thank you for sharing this! It makes me feel like I’m not doing the wrong thing by doing dining room homeschool. It’s what’s practical for us!! Thank you ❤
My grandson did homeschooling last year and he did very well. With everything going on we pulled him out of the public school now and I will be home schooling him
One day I saw that you have a book , The Voyage of Growing Up. An older lady, who was a friend of our family, gave me that book, when I was a young girl. I was told it was a health textbook. I enjoyed reading it, so much! It will be a great one for you to read aloud, when you want to include health lessons.
I home schooled for 15 years using Abeka materials. I was excited when I saw the missionary card project your son did. We have been missionaries for 41 years. One of the cards he worked on was friends of ours. Fun! I really enjoy your UA-cam channel.
In your cabinet in the kitchen, if you had pull out shelves installed - center & bottom, you would have more room & you would love them - you get a little less space on the sides but then you get a full shelf instead of the half shelf - I put them in every cabinet I could & it’s so nice - the reason you need both is that if you do the pull out only in the center, you can’t really get to things in the back of the bottom of the cabinet - just a thought - more storage is always great, IMO !
I used Abeka during my daughter's high school years! We used the videos so that she had teachers that actually remembered the subjects! LOL !!! Unlike me. We did love their curriculum !!
Very organized and nurturing environment. Your children are lucky to have you. I think you should post here what you feel in your heart. People will appreciate it.
I am so proud of you, Andrea!! I absolutely loved homeschooling my daughters. It was such a precious time and my girls are thriving as godly women! Be encouraged!! 😊👏👏♥️
Thanks for sharing this. Insulation with much prayer this endeavor. I agree to pray for y’all as well, my son/his wife home school with same goals. Raising sweet, strong people. Elizabeth
Wow, Andrea, your students have the best teacher, not only the full curriculum but manners? Perfect! Food is the fuel needed for thinking and learning for the children! Being in the kitchen is the best location possible!
This brought me down memory lane. I homeschooled for 20 years my seven children ( 5 boys and 2 girls ) i just joined the homeschool world again this year as we decided to HS my oldest daughter for her junior and senior year. My youngest daughter is going to a classical education christian school but we may decide to HS her next year. Enjoy the journey! my first 5 kids were boys and they have such a strong bond and relationship and I attribute it all to them being home together . Even at 53 I enjoy watching all your content. You remind me of a younger me ..lol your doing great momma! You wont regret all the time you spend with those precious boys !
We use our dining table as well and I have my homeschool stuff in one basket and one small bin. I only have one kid but this is working better than what we did last year which was having a room that we rarely used. Simplicity works.
I’m just loving these videos of your sweet family and your homeschooling approach with them. Wishing the boys a great school year ahead! Ethan holding Isaiah is so precious. 💙
OMy Gosh!! I, literally, laughed out loud!!! Add up allllllllll the pages in allllllll those books.....now.....was there anything on any of those pages that taught a child how to be as extremely creative as your son who thought up a new way to use books.....as skates!!! I’m a retired teacher and THAT is what I miss the most. Children are so much fun and so naturally creative. Hold onto those beautiful, precious years and enjoy every second. It passes by too quickly.
New subscriber here....definitely share everything you want on homeschooling!!! I've been homeschooling 16 years so far...best *job* ever! Love what you've shared so far...thank you! ;)
Thank you for sharing!! I have been homeschooling for 18 plus years, four kids and now only my youngest left and she just started her first high school year!! We love Abeka and I have used many of their materials for years!! The dining room table was also our homeschool room for many of those early years!! That is the joy and freedom of homeschool!! We love it!!
You are a very busy mom plus doing u tube. Wow. That makes this grandma tired! You do a great job. I'm impressed with the matetials for their schooling. I love your organization. That's a video right there home organization for all the home decor, school materials, etc. I eish i had your videos when i eas a young mom, now a mature grandma!
Love the video Andrea, this is my first year homeschooling my children. I have a K5 as well and a 9th grader, we homeschool in the dining room as well, since our breakfast nook is a little tighter in space. We have made it work so far, I also keep my son’s workbooks in a buffet table in our living room. God had been tugging at my heart to homeschool since a few years back and this year I finally went through with it. There were so many unknown to me and that what holding me back to do it, but I am immensely grateful to the Lord that He never leaves us and guides us to do best for our children. It’s honestly the best decision that we have made, thanks again for sharing part of your life with us. God bless you💓💕
I only found your UA-cam Channel a short time ago. You have such a calming voice and make things so very interesting to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your decorating ideas and family with us. Your home is beautiful and your children are precious. I was very excited to see you homeschool your children. I have two sons and we also homeschooled them with Abeka. It was a blessing to be able to experience that time with them, share the things that are most important in life and watch them grow into responsible young men. Many people said they will miss so much not going to public school and I am so glad they did. There is so much negative in the world. Thank you and may God bless your endeavors.
I homeschooled my kids too when my daughter started third grade and my oldest son was starting kindergarten. I taught them both the third grade science, history and health (from A Beka). It was amazing to me that my kindergarten learned everything my third grader did. My youngest was two. He would sometimes answer the questions I asked which was just shocking as I didn't know he was paying any attention. It is such a blessing to homeschool and really stay so involved in your kids lives! My youngest is now in his second year of college. The years go by so fast! Seeing all of the A Beka books brought back so many memories. Thank you for sharing! God bless you!
This decor is similar to what I aspire for in our home. I like that everything has it's place. Curriculums and supplies can easily amass to clutter and an eyesore with different colors. On a side note, I don't know what you mean by that drawer of pens being out of order. My junk drawer is messy. Type B personality here.
What a treat!!!! I'm selfishly so hyped lol because I have a kindergartener I'm gonna be homeschooling this year (first time for me) and I get to see you do it/ do it with you!!! Yay!!! For some reason, I feel alot of relief. Let's do this! :) Ps. I'm starting next week too lol
Hello Andrea, Home schooling is so great. Your son's are not divided amongst themselves and they learn how it feels to be raised all united, a homely environment. Caring for one another as it should be.
Never after having a baby could I be balancing what you are. You look great. I love the excitement over the books. I love that he is dirty from playing outside. I am happy to have a peak into homeschooling.
Ethan is going to be your best helper with the baby, in the kitchen & all around gofer. He takes directions very well ( proven with the tomato sauce) & seems very cooperative & responsible. Sandi
Love seeing another boy mom! I have four boys too! They are truly a blessing from God. Thanks for showing us your minimalist homeschooling. I am in the process of minimalizing our homeschooling.
I love this new style of video! Thanks for sharing your homeschool books and room. I homeschooled from my kitchen until my children went to college. As an encouragement- all were successful and enjoying their chosen professions.
Aw love this! about to have our fourth any day and a little nervous about how we’re going to homeschool and be on a routine with a newborn. Would love more homeschool videos, such an encouragement!
Thank you for sharing, at this time in life I find it important for parents to think about home schooling. Our kids need love and guidance at this point in this stressful life and there is so much going on with the school systems. I think they learn a lot more at home then sitting In class with masks. I got my fathers world this year I am hoping that my grandson who is in kindergarten really enjoys this curriculum.
Brings back such sweet memories! I homeschooled my oldest for two years and we used the kitchen table just like you are doing. I was busy with a newborn, as you are, but it was wonderful! When I put him back into public school because we moved into a good school district, his teacher was pleasantly surprised at how advanced he was. Enjoy your newborn. He and all of your boys are precious.
no worries I started the last week of August and its been a bumpy road but we just a few days ago assembled the kids desk and the homeschool feel is finally here! Keep your head up its okay!!
Thanks for sharing. We have a small home but I am definitely considering homeschooling. Just trying to figure out a lot of details before I bring it up to my husband haha. I’d love to learn more about your morning reading time!
Very good system we used in the French school were I worked was to make them analyse every day 1sentence for grammar or Interpunktion rules by the knowledge they acquired already. After 12 years of school they are definitely fit with few work every day.
I would love more homeschool content from you if you ever get the itch! Honestly, seeing how you homeschool with a newborn would be really interesting, as I’m in a similar position! ❤️
Thank you, Andrea! My son just started Kindergarten in public schools. We plan on moving him into a private religious school because we want him to learn about God, not just on Sunday's, everyday. I also want him to practice and study on the weekends so your tips has helped me plan how to organize and prepare for this.
Stephanie, I speak as a retired elementary school teacher. Don't overload your son with study on the weekends. Even God rested on the 7th day. If your little guy receives good instruction five days a week, let him have a couple of days off to just be a kid. You want him to be well rounded and sociable, with many interests...not a seven days of the week academic.
@@maryoleary2037 you're absolutely right, Mary. Thank you for the advice. I didn't even think of that. I guess because he had so much free time as a wee little, I forget that he has a schedule time now, a time to study and a time to play. ☻
@@stephanieholderfield2475 It is very obvious that you want the very best for your little guy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with down time...so make sure he has plenty of that also. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens": Ecclesiastes 3.
We use our dining room as well, and I love it. The memories that are made around the table are ones that I know will last a lifetime for both me and the littles. Simplicity is valuable. ❤❤❤
Andrea …thank you for sharing this! My babies are 41 and 44 ! The oldest daughter is a teacher and the youngest daughter is a nurse. BUT how is wish they home schooled ! Our oldest granddaughter graduated in June and our youngest grandbabies started Pre-K on Wednesday…what an age difference right ! You are a busy Momma ! GOD BLESS YOU…best vested time…OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR EDUCATION 💙💙💙💙
That's a great space for homeschooling! Centrally located with lots of natural light! And there's nothing like cozying up on the couch for reading time 💛.
Andrea ... I so love the way that you have incorporated their schooling right into your home & it seems like it is a wonderful system. Your boys are all so adorable ... I love that you are raising them with a faith-based foundation. God Bless you & your beautiful family ... have a wonderful weekend!!!
Loving these type of videos!!! So encouraging!! I appreciate you so much for showing your homeschool materials, routine, and how you organize it. Love the idea of preparing it all Sunday night. Can’t wait to be a mom and do all of this!
This video was so fruitful for me! I’m a first year homeschooler and also using my kitchen as our “homeschool room”. The binder system is GENIUS! I haven’t seen anything like that and I’ve been on a quest to find a more simple approach! Managing all the school stuff is overwhelming me so much in my tiny home. I’m going to try the binder! 😊 thank you so much! I stinkin love your channel and blog (and course) so much! Have a beautiful day!
The Ultimate backseat book could be the "backyard" book. Looks like they're enthusiastic about learning, which is a blessing. I am a retired Montessori teacher and we teach Practical Life skills (cleaning, manners, gardening, etc.) as the foundation of learning; you're already doing that so good job. Have a wonderful school year. What a relief to know your boys will be happy and healthy at home, avoiding all the stress that public school is experiencing these days. Best of luck! You might investigate Montessori info; there a lot that aligns with your homeschooling goals. 💙
I really enjoyed this video, so relaxing and natural, like You shared your home life, I felt like I was sitting on the floor in anticipation too, I even thought, turn it over, just like a child myself! I loved homeschooling our four sons! What an incredible privilege and adventure. My sons loved science, history and nature as well as math. Their minds will just absorb as much as possible when they enjoy it. Thank you so very much, may God continue to bless you as you do His work, raising young men for him.
Andrea, you are so inspiring. I can see the enthusiasm with your boys for learning. Such a great age. Sure things can get kinda hectic at times but you are molding young, responsible, young boys for tomorrow. They are so cute and already for school. I am so glad you are home schooling. I think they will get a much better education. Public schools today, well...you know. Anyway, I think your wise. Your in my thoughts and prayers. God has given you some precious boys and it's obvious they love their Momma and each other. Thank you for sharing.
I love homeschooling. I’m blessed with a large basement to homeschool in but your so right it doesn’t have to be elaborate. We had a home very similar to yours when we started homeschooling 5 years ago. I miss the closeness.
Love the binders!!!! Very organized!!!!! Great idea!!!! I think it is so nice that you are able to home school your babies! Your babies will know of God and his wonderful love! That is precious! You will not have to worry about anyone trying to influence their beliefs! You are such a blessing young lady! I know that your parents are so proud of you!!!! You have such a beautiful family and I enjoy your honest and Christian channel!

You are an amazing Mom!! I know you are overwhelmed sometimes, but you are doing an amazing job!! God is good!

I taught in public school 22 years. I totally agree with you. I am so proud of her choice to homeschool!
Absolutely!!!!
What a beautiful home and family! Love seeing your homeschool space! :)
I love listening to you . Whatever you talk about I find so interesting. You talk with such enthusiasm and make every topic interesting
My heart just exploded with joy and love for you and your sweet boys
That was the most real video yet! lol. I loved it! The kids, your hair not being perfect (still beautiful), the school books all over the floor, the box-man (what a cutie), etc. Precious family moments. I so enjoy your videos and this was a nice reality check video in the midst of striving to make a home you love and sharing your spaces.
So cute how the boys are so excited to show us there school books
I think homeschooling is so awesome. I could never do it because I was a single parent and had to go to work. They are all grown up, married, and have great careers. I wish I could homeschool my grandkids but right now their parents are sending them to regular school. It’s fine. I did help them during the time they were doing on line school and that was fun. I especially like doing field trips with my kindergartener. So much fun. Good memories.
I could never homeschool because I had 4 kids and I worked full time and was a single parent.
I am so grateful I came across this video. So many people share their home school room and it’s an entire classroom. I was feeling discouraged as we don’t have that kind of space. Thank you for sharing this! It makes me feel like I’m not doing the wrong thing by doing dining room homeschool. It’s what’s practical for us!! Thank you ❤
You are one busy lady. I love the excitement over all the school goodies. I love that they wanted to share. Yo look great.
My grandson did homeschooling last year and he did very well.
With everything going on we pulled him out of the public school now and I will be home schooling him
One day I saw that you have a book , The Voyage of Growing Up. An older lady, who was a friend of our family, gave me that book, when I was a young girl. I was told it was a health textbook. I enjoyed reading it, so much! It will be a great one for you to read aloud, when you want to include health lessons.
I loved how "real" this vlog was. Blessings!
I home schooled for 15 years using Abeka materials. I was excited when I saw the missionary card project your son did. We have been missionaries for 41 years. One of the cards he worked on was friends of ours. Fun! I really enjoy your UA-cam channel.

Love you are teaching from a biblical point,,,,you go girl!!!
Love the way you are with your boys & school
Beautiful family
I used Abeka during my daughter's high school years! We used the videos so that she had teachers that actually remembered the subjects! LOL !!! Unlike me. We did love their curriculum !!
It would be nice to see more videos on how you organize your space in different areas of your home, closets, pantry, etc.
Thank you, super helpful! It's nice to see where people store supplies and everything.
I’d love to learn more about your life with the all the boys. It’s fascinating.
Very organized and nurturing environment. Your children are lucky to have you. I think you should post here what you feel in your heart. People will appreciate it.
I would love more homeschool organization/routine videos!
I LOVE Abeka Book! I used it for my children who are now 34 and 29. Great video, thanks for sharing.
You are one special Mom!!🤗
I am so proud of you, Andrea!! I absolutely loved homeschooling my daughters. It was such a precious time and my girls are thriving as godly women! Be encouraged!! 😊👏👏♥️
I loved reading this, thank you 💗
Love the interaction with the boys. It’s shows you what real life looks like. My kids are grown but I miss those days. Enjoy them while you can. 💙💙💙
Great job. You do amazing with your boys. They all are so precious.

Hello Andrea, Home schooling is so great. Your son's are not divided amongst themselves and they learn how it feels to be raised all united, a homely environment. Caring for one another as it should be.
Never after having a baby could I be balancing what you are. You look great. I love the excitement over the books. I love that he is dirty from playing outside. I am happy to have a peak into homeschooling.

I would definitely home school if I was having children now days.
Times have changed and so have values .
I love this new style of video! Thanks for sharing your homeschool books and room. I homeschooled from my kitchen until my children went to college. As an encouragement- all were successful and enjoying their chosen professions.
Aw love this! about to have our fourth any day and a little nervous about how we’re going to homeschool and be on a routine with a newborn. Would love more homeschool videos, such an encouragement!
We start the first week of Oct😊 we love ABEKA! Great video!❤️

Our kids need love and guidance at this point in this stressful life and there is so much going on with the school systems. I think they learn a lot more at home then sitting In class with masks.

I LOVE My Father’s World! We have used this curriculum through high school. I hope you love it, too!
Love the vintage basket great idea lol
Brings back such sweet memories! I homeschooled my oldest for two years and we used the kitchen table just like you are doing. I was busy with a newborn, as you are, but it was wonderful!

Always excited to meet a family that believes in teaching their children a biblical worldview. ✝️ May God bless your school year!
Praise God for moms like you!
I loved this video! Thank you for showing how simple your setup can be for homeschooling. Your family is absolutely precious. ❤️
Thank you Crystal ❤️
no worries I started the last week of August and its been a bumpy road but we just a few days ago assembled the kids desk and the homeschool feel is finally here! Keep your head up its okay!!
My kid’s school uses Abeka! Love that curriculum
The health and science are beautiful we do as well as family
Yay! Those blend ladders are reading superpowers! Have a great year!
Thanks for sharing. We have a small home but I am definitely considering homeschooling. Just trying to figure out a lot of details before I bring it up to my husband haha.

Very good system we used in the French school were I worked was to make them analyse every day 1sentence for grammar or Interpunktion rules by the knowledge they acquired already. After 12 years of school they are definitely fit with few work every day.
Thank you!
I would love more homeschool content from you if you ever get the itch! Honestly, seeing how you homeschool with a newborn would be really interesting, as I’m in a similar position! ❤️
Thank you, Andrea! My son just started Kindergarten in public schools. We plan on moving him into a private religious school because we want him to learn about God, not just on Sunday's, everyday. I also want him to practice and study on the weekends so your tips has helped me plan how to organize and prepare for this.
Yes, we don't have any private schools close to us, but I love that ❤️
Stephanie, I speak as a retired elementary school teacher. Don't overload your son with study on the weekends. Even God rested on the 7th day. If your little guy receives good instruction five days a week, let him have a couple of days off to just be a kid. You want him to be well rounded and sociable, with many interests...not a seven days of the week academic.
@@maryoleary2037 you're absolutely right, Mary. Thank you for the advice. I didn't even think of that. I guess because he had so much free time as a wee little, I forget that he has a schedule time now, a time to study and a time to play. ☻
@@stephanieholderfield2475 It is very obvious that you want the very best for your little guy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with down time...so make sure he has plenty of that also. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens": Ecclesiastes 3.
@@maryoleary2037 ((HUGS)) thank you for your beautiful words, Mary. I appreciate your guidance and your loving advice. ⚘
We use our dining room as well, and I love it. The memories that are made around the table are ones that I know will last a lifetime for both me and the littles. Simplicity is valuable. ❤❤❤
Andrea …thank you for sharing this! My babies are 41 and 44 ! The oldest daughter is a teacher and the youngest daughter is a nurse. BUT how is wish they home schooled ! Our oldest granddaughter graduated in June and our youngest grandbabies started Pre-K on Wednesday…what an age difference right !
You are a busy Momma ! GOD BLESS YOU…best vested time…OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR EDUCATION 💙💙💙💙
Thank you for always being so supportive Jayne 💗
That's a great space for homeschooling! Centrally located with lots of natural light! And there's nothing like cozying up on the couch for reading time 💛.
Andrea ... I so love the way that you have incorporated their schooling right into your home & it seems like it is a wonderful system. Your boys are all so adorable ... I love that you are raising them with a faith-based foundation. God Bless you & your beautiful family ... have a wonderful weekend!!!
You are such a terrific mother and so organized with their school work! You have to have alot of patience!
Thank you!
Bless you and your family hope you have a wonderful school year
Loving these type of videos!!! So encouraging!! I appreciate you so much for showing your homeschool materials, routine, and how you organize it. Love the idea of preparing it all Sunday night. Can’t wait to be a mom and do all of this!
This video was so fruitful for me! I’m a first year homeschooler and also using my kitchen as our “homeschool room”. The binder system is GENIUS! I haven’t seen anything like that and I’ve been on a quest to find a more simple approach! Managing all the school stuff is overwhelming me so much in my tiny home. I’m going to try the binder! 😊 thank you so much! I stinkin love your channel and blog (and course) so much! Have a beautiful day!
I love the you repurposed the dresser for your homeschool needs. You have a beautiful family. Great job Mama!
Thank you, that dresser is so special to me!
Your home is so beautiful!
I love the REAL home school experience
Thank you so much ❤️
My homeschool room.looked like yours
I also did homeschool at the park
Library and coffee shop
I would love to see more Homeschooling videos.
The Ultimate backseat book could be the "backyard" book.
Looks like they're enthusiastic about learning, which is a blessing.
I am a retired Montessori teacher and we teach Practical Life skills (cleaning, manners, gardening, etc.) as the foundation of learning; you're already doing that so good job.
Have a wonderful school year. What a relief to know your boys will be happy and healthy at home, avoiding all the stress that public school is experiencing these days.
Best of luck!
You might investigate Montessori info; there a lot that aligns with your homeschooling goals. 💙
Looooovee this! We're homeschoolers too! It's just the best!
Yes reading video!
I really enjoyed this video, so relaxing and natural, like You shared your home life, I felt like I was sitting on the floor in anticipation too, I even thought, turn it over, just like a child myself! I loved homeschooling our four sons! What an incredible privilege and adventure. My sons loved science, history and nature as well as math. Their minds will just absorb as much as possible when they enjoy it. Thank you so very much, may God continue to bless you as you do His work, raising young men for him.
Andrea, you are so inspiring. I can see the enthusiasm with your boys for learning. Such a great age. Sure things can get kinda hectic at times but you are molding young, responsible, young boys for tomorrow. They are so cute and already for school. I am so glad you are home schooling. I think they will get a much better education. Public schools today, well...you know. Anyway, I think your wise. Your in my thoughts and prayers. God has given you some precious boys and it's obvious they love their Momma and each other. Thank you for sharing.
I love homeschooling. I’m blessed with a large basement to homeschool in but your so right it doesn’t have to be elaborate. We had a home very similar to yours when we started homeschooling 5 years ago. I miss the closeness.
Hopefully soon we will have the basement too ❤️
