This is so encouraging. I have two young students and have felt like I’ve failed the last three years because I haven’t been able to bring in science and history and the “fun” school because it takes all day for us to just get the very basic 3 R’s done in a day (two very energetic boys). By the end of the day all we have energy for is a snuggle and a story. In hindsight this is exactly all we needed. The rest will come in time ✨
It just hit me how much the feel of your homeschool philosophy reminds me of my favorite homeschooling book (after Beechicks' book)...Educating the Whole-Hearted Child. Thank you for how much peaceful gentle living you help mothers make in the atmosphere of our homes. Loved the blog post as well!!
"I know how to calculate the speed of heavenly bodies... But I can't change a tire..." 😂😂 Literally burst into laughter, followed by sadness at the truth of it. Thank you for your videos, encourages this mommy ❤️
Always such a great blessing.. Thank you for your faithfulness in sharing these wonderful wisdoms the Lord has so graciously imparted to you.. Needed all of this so much. 💕💖💗
PS: When you have a moment. I am so curious what your thoughts are on leading your children to the saving knowledge of Jesus? I mean besides the obvious.. ie: praying for them.. Do you go over the salvation message often? Do you come right out, and ask them? Or do you give it all over to the Lord, and just pray that it will all happen organically? It's wild..as I'm typing this.. the Lord is bringing encouraging ideas to mind. Please say a prayer for our children that they will both come to know the Lord Jesus. They are.. just turned 5 (and going on 26.. ;) ) & our eldest will be 11 in 1 month..and is dealing with high functioning ASD.. truly greatly appreciate all your thoughts, prayers, and time.
@@shayj3372 this is one of those questions that doesn't have a pat answer. We talk about surrendering to Jesus on an almost daily basis, but we emphasize His desire to give us the choice. There are some who have decided to follow the Lord whole-heartedly, others who take Him at a distance, still others who continually try and place themselves on the outside of the question, but God will win in the end, of this I am sure :)
Have you ever used TruthQuest history with your kids? A lot of what you shared reminded me of how they approach the study of history. LOVED this video...so helpful!!
SKH.. Any recommendations on teaching little ones handwriting? My youngest just turned 5, and though we aren't doing official school w/ her yet..she desperately wants to learn how to write. :)
Can you help me explain more about the solar system & Jesus? (In easy to understand bits I suppose😄) You know I’m new to this and we are actually learning about the solar system right now & would LOVE to explain all of this in a Godly matter to the kids!! Thanks as always :)
I think you would really enjoy videos by Chuck Missler who was a scientist in love with Jesus. You can find many of his talks on UA-cam. I think the name of his channel is Koinonua House, or you could simple search for his name.

Amen--preach😁!

You're welcome--it's a lot of fun for me, too :)
I wish there was a LOVE option because merely a "thumbs up" doesn't quite cut it!
That is so sweet :)

Not heard of TruthQuest but thanks for the suggestion❤️
Do you have a video showing us your Record Book?
Love your videos. Thanks

You are so welcome :)
You are so right about Algebra and higher math. However, everyday math, I call it life math, is essential.
That's for sure!
Love ur channel

Yes! Get some primary-lined paper and draw the letters with a highlighter and have her draw over your lines with pencil.
TY so much!! Hugs!!

You’re the best!

I want to be like you 😭
Were Norse Pagan and Wiccan. I do respect your religion and reasons to homeschool. I won't be rude and give you a thumbs down. Blessed be.
That is very kind of you❤It doesn't matter where we've been, God reaches out to us with His mercy and grace.
Love this reply so much. Love & respect for your fellow- woman kind. such a blessing to behold..
