Hey! I'm Christy :) I am a mama of 6 through adoption and birth. We're a colorful family with a variety of ethnicities living in Las Vegas. Welcome to my channel and all the love and chaos that comes with it! My husband and I grew our family through foster care adoptions. I invite you to subscribe to follow our foster to adoption journey and see how I manage my large family.
My ultimate goal is to empower others on their own foster or adoption journeys. It really takes a village and it's so much easier to share the journey. I hope my channel educates, inspires, and helps you connect with others on the same journey.

Hi Christy. You got to protect your children the way you know how.
Yes I do!
@@ChristyGior8Blessings Christi❤🙏🏿...
You & Ed are Awsome Parents 🫡
Facts !!! Because it’s getting nasty in those schools and it’s sad 😞 I’m so happy someone other then myself sees what’s going on !!!!
As a former Middle school teacher, too much happens in Middle School. So far my 12 year old is surviving. Do what you feel is best.
I taught SS for 6th and 7th grade. So many resources available out there. Enjoy your time with the kiddos.
One of the most important homeschool pieces is ensuring they are on target with Math & Reading. There are a lot of great programs that help with this. Congratulations on your journey it’s going to be great
Public school is just not the same anymore. Its scary. The teacher's. The students not respectful. Etc. I am very lucky we could go to a private Catholic school. Very greatful. Protect your kids. Protect their peace. And protect yours too.
There are bad teachers out there for sure, I had them in Elementary School, but at this point its the students and parents who cause the most trouble.
@@AnimalLover2400True. But nowadays, the teachers can not separate their own personal views or biases in school. In my day, I never heard about my teachers' private lives or personal views. Now it's a mess. And kids these days have no respect. Kids are so precious. Protect them at all costs because the schools aren't doing anything about it.
@@AnimalLover2400it’s both
@@nancyfarkas3592preach!
I take offense as a teacher… not cool.
In your area there maybe a home school co-op, where they can join other home schoolers for other classes ect. A friend took her daughter out of school and she joined a group of home school families and they clubbed together for science tutors, etc.
I think home schooling is great...your kids seem to be very mature, and i think they'll thrive. X
Yes def find a co-op. My friend’s co-op goes on weekly trips to the movies, etc. with all the kids.
Middle school was probably the roughest time in my education. I'm in my 30s and I hate thinking about that time. I wished my parents home schooled me. I think you are doing the right thing 100%
Me too :/
Me too, but I don’t think I even knew it was an option then. My mom did transfer me to another school at my request which helped a little…
Christy this is an answered prayer. I’m homeschooling my daughter this upcoming school year. I was conflicted about homeschooling her or not but middle schools in my area are so bad. She will graduate 5th grade next month and will start homeschooling this fall. This is video is confirmation for me. Thanks for sharing!
good luck!
What home schooling program do you use, or do you teach all the subjects? Just trying to pick people’s minds, I’ve been thinking about home schooling as well.
As a teacher in LV, I believe you are making the best decision. Not every teacher is terrible. I am a teacher who cares, and I know many teachers who care about their students, but it's a tough job. We can't control what kids are exposed to at home and how they influence their peers. I have seen and heard of some crazy things happening in our district, and no one person is to blame. If I were a parent and had the means to homeschool my children, I would do it without hesitation. Do what you have to do to protect and prepare your kids.
Teachers like you are RAREEEEE. I had 5 amazing teachers out if 12 years...that's crazy to me.
Im 45 and i wish I had a mother like you when i was growing up . Seriously. Do what YOU think is best for your family. You have done it so far, just follow your motherly iinstincts ❤! Your girls wil be fine because they have you!❤❤❤❤
I remember a video or short where Avaya was asking you to homeschool her.
Glad you considered and obviously planned it out. I know it couldnt have been an easy decision to come to, hopefully it all goes well.
We went through the same issues with our school district. You’re absolutely right. Middle school is full of drama. I wish I had the opportunity to homeschool my boys. Fortunately, they made it through with no problems of their own, but girl, I’ve heard stories! You’re doing a great thing for your girls, & they will appreciate you for it. Can’t wait for the homeschool videos!
My husband is an ex middle school therapist and we are adoptive parents. We homeschool for so many reasons, but safety from other students is in top 5! Give yourself grace the first year and enjoy it!
I've known some kids over the years who were home schooled, lovely kids, with great manners. They interacted with adults in a very nice and respectful way. No sullen responses, and retreating back to their phones.
I LOVE this! 🎉 I ripped mine out of public school last year too. Let's gooo!
Ever since I made the decision, I keep getting signs over and over it validate my decision :)
@@ChristyGior8Trust me they ll meet other homeschoolers homeschooling meetings were on Friday nights in gen). There's two different homeschooling magazines forgot about to mention there's HSLDA, SEA Secular Eletict, Secular homeschooling is very popular u ll bump into a lot of them in CA’ just to be aware of it, Senton hall has one for catholic homeschooling families, Mormons have one as well for their beliefs. Johavoh Witness for their beliefs, I d’ check out homeschooling curriculum sales summer ones sometimes they do 20% off). You can find a teacher's store to find a map, yes Khan Academy has Free resources for electives, consumer science they have it! Some families homeschool their 3 kids during the day & last 3 at night there is another youtube channel a family who homeschool 6 kids she does split to have day & night for the older kids or teens.
I work at an elementary school and they caught kids vaping!! Ur a FANTASTIC mom for prioritizing them even when it’ll be “difficult” great job!!
From one homeschool mom to another, you are doing everything right! We do power homeschooling through Accellus
I highly, highly recommend the Abeka home school curriculum.
I was homeschooled and then went to a small, prestigious high school and it was the best decision ever.
As a mom that has been homeschooling for over 9 years. I am so proud of you. This is the best decision you are making for your children. There are a ton of homeschool co-ops you can connect with. We were called to teach our children. Your a amazing mother protecting your children. There are so many options available. Good job mama 👏 My oldest just graduated from high school.
I went to middle school back in the 1970s. Everything you are explaining was going on in my school. The only difference was there was no vaping, but smoking. I was miserable. I wished I could’ve gone to a different type of school or homeschooled.
So excited when you post.
Yay, I’m so glad
I agree with you protect your children by any means necessary.
I did the same thing with my kids when middle school hit. They had a very bad school. I wish I had homeschooled them their whole school career. You have to do what's best for you and your kids. You'll do great, best wishes. I can tell your kids mean the world to you.
Middle school is rough. Not a fan. Glad you are able to do it.
You are doing the right thing! I've been homeschooling mine for 3 years and I cant imagine ever putting them in school, the way things are going these days. God calls us to be with our children and influence them and if we can homeschool, we should! ❤
So happy for you! We are also homeschooling. Started this past September and started documenting it here on UA-cam. My kids are younger but I agree that middle school age is even more an important age to keep our kids close and having parental attachment as opposed to peer attachment. I remember the hormonal shift and what it did to me as a preteen and teen and I can not imagine what it would be like to be a teen in this day and age in the public school system, and all the influence it has on our kids. Also, your “I don’t want my kids in public school” will grow into “I see the beauty of homeschooling my kids and having them under one roof and for them to learn and grow with their siblings.” You just earned yourself a follower! 😊
I know you and your husband know what is right for your children. As parents we have to protect them the best way we can.
Happy for you to be homeschooling! Like anything there’s a learning curve but you will catch on quick! I’ve been homeschooling my boys 6 years now (13 & 17) and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I think it’s funny how ppl are always so worried about “homeschooled” children and their social skills. My kids actually talk to adults and carry on conversations which is something I noticed most teens don’t do. I’ve also homeschooled through breast cancer…then the pandemic happened…and my 17 year old is excelling in math and has also earned his 2nd degree black belt during this time…and works at the dojo teaching. I’m saying this to say their social life does not suffer…they take fun classes through the parks and rec center, etc etc. One thing we do is a 4 day school week and that has helped my sanity as well. Also want to note my nieces were also homeschooled and just went to private school this year and acclimated right in and are excelling in all subjects. No need for anyone to worry about homeschool kids…lol. You’re gonna do awesome.
I feel this ❤️. I’m thinking of home schooling my daughter for middle school. For some same reasons. Also she has RAD and does much better in a calm environment and with less people. I appreciate this video and your thoughts on this ❤️. You are a great momma!! I’m excited to watch you navigate this next adventure!
I think it's awesome that you're going to be homeschooling. 😊
I've been thinking about homeschooling my girls too.
Best of luck ❤
Love when you post 😊... Love your videos ❤
I love this I think I started watching your channel when they were at home during quarantine. I was obsessed with what was basically homeschooling content!
Christy you got this! Go mom! 🎉
Thanks for your post! Great to hear from you!❤
It is right for you to protect your babies while you can. It will strengthen them for when they leave your home. Homeschool indeed!
Good for you! I love that regardless of what’s “popular” you always do what’s best for your children.
So happy for your decision to homeschool!! Everyone is going to benefit!! God Bless you and your sweet family!!
Great job Mom. You are so proactive.
Can’t wait to follow along with your homeschool journey. I think you’ll do great and bravo to you.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on this decision.
Proud of you! ❤🎉
You have to do what you have to do..Protect your babies at all costs❤ There's lots of issues in the schools..in the world for that matter...Best to go with your heart and to do what is best for your family❤
My daughter is home schooled, she doesn’t have the stress of worrying about school drama. It’s more relaxing for her, no worries or anxiety. We use CAVA, she has a set schedule when she has to attend live sessions on line. I’ve taught her to respect herself/her body. How she needs to dress respectfully, she doesn’t need to show her body or be a people pleasure. She can have her own opinion and speak her mind. I educate her financially and educate her on laws, common sense things., etc.
Wow, i haven't been here in so long.... WELCOME TO HOMESCHOOLING!
I have been homeschooling for years. Everything has its up and downs. So many people have misconceptions that homeschooling is for lazy people, and that is easier. That couldn't be more far from the truth! It adds one more hat to the many hats us moms already wear. Structure is the key to homeschooling for me being a mom of a large family like yourself. I have 7 kids, 2 which are now young adults, 18 & 23. What I love about homeschooling is that we can choose our approach to learning so we can teach our children in the way in which they learn best. We can plan field trips that coinside with our current learning topics. I like to print out worksheets to bring along to field trips, so they have a fun and educational experience. Because I have kiddos in different grade levels, I like to plan some online classes for my kids as well. While the younger ones are in online class, I can take that time to take advantage of making that time to teach the harder topics to my upper grader in History, social studies, or Science, or to focus on time to work with him on things he may be having a harder time in like a new area math we may be getting into. I have tried different programs and some I didn't like, others were okay. But it's really important to research each homeschool charter to see what they offer, how they operate, and see who you feel will be your greatest fit. We are currently with Mission Vista Academy. WE LOVE THEM!!! I highly advise you look into them. I think you will love this new journey, the flexibility, and the time you get with your kiddos. I wish you all the best in your new homeschool journey!!!
So proud of u please keep sharing ur gonna thrive
I will!
This is very encouraging and refreshing to hear….glad to know I’m not crazy for thinking the same way ❤….the same things your experiencing is happening here in Canada…all over extremely awful in Toronto these young kids are into things unimaginable I can’t say…anyway thanks for sharing girly
Love your channel and how you love and protect your family. I pulled my daughter and started homeschooling this year as well. Also, a Vegas resident from the Bay so I understand this system is not great. I wasn't fully prepared to homeschool but did it anyway! Teachers Pay Teachers has great resources, Outschool has some pretty affordable classes, and because I wasn't confident yet in my homeschooling I also signed my daughter up for Tutoring a couple times a week to make sure her reading and math were up to par. Best of luck and enjoy this time with your kids, it's precious.
Whewwwww I felt this video sooo much...
Middle school has been crazy.
My sons school has been crazy
Between puberty ,peer pressure,and the need to prove themselves I'm pulling my hair out...
The type of things I hear kids say is crazy.....
Hope they do amazing
This is a great move for your kids. I honestly wish I had home school all my kids. Christy you’re awesome. Great decision mama
I am in Jamaica and have made the same decision for my 5 year old. Teachers are not the same-school is not the same. All the best🌺
Best decision! You got this!👍
Angela Braniff from This Gathered Nest does homeschooling and has really great advice.
You are a wonderful Mother with 6 amazing children ❤️❤️
Tazeo is so cute, whatever decision you make will be well informed and the best for your family
It’s your choice. Do what you have to do and feel good about it!❤
I say if you are able then do it 100%. The influences in this time is insane and people just don’t care like they used to. Allow them to grow without pressure from outside influences.
Middle school years are the most impressionable and influential. Most ppl think if a child/young adult is going to go down the wrong path in life it happens in high school. In reality (multiple studies on the topic) middle school is the deciding factor. It is one of the last times to intervene with life changing results. It started with covid at the end of 5th grade for my daughter and I ended up keeping her home for 6th and most of 7th. It was extremely beneficial for her, she has amazing self confidence, she's liked by everyone, and is now finishing freshman year with a 4.0gpa.
If someone does say something shady she literally doesn't care. If that happened in 6th-7th grade it would have caused all sorts of issues. Skipping the B.S made her stronger n more resilient. Those are the same reasons ppl are drawn to her now.
Good call and it's the best time to pull your kiddos out. Let them go back for high school without all the stress, nonsense,n anxiety. Wishing you the best and enjoy these pivotal years. ❤
No, you’re doing the right thing. Kids at your girls age are so easily influenced and they don’t know the ramifications or consequences of their actions! Being exposed to something over and over again desensitizes them to it and they can begin doing it themselves!
Schools are out of control and parents are not disciplining their kids anymore! They are running rampant and causing chaos.
So sorry about the public school system there. Good for you and glad you can do it as many have to work outside the home and can’t.
I was just talking about this on TikTok and parents didn’t like my answer. I said if they don’t like the school environment come up with a different solution. Have choices in education not just the neighborhood school. They vaping now 😮 but it’s the new cigarette.
Christy you are making the right decision so kudos to you and the girls will enjoy being homeschooled thanks for sharing 💜😊
Thank you so much!
Been homeschooling now for 8 years. Totally awesome
I respect your decision and i love that you really care about your childrens safety and their education. Sad that kids are fighting and vaping and the teachers embarrassing students. The schools need to do BETTER it's sad you a really good mother🙏🏽❤❤.
I agree with you! Keep your girls safe and stay little girls. Middle school shows a different view and children watch how well they are behaved and try to change their behavior. Kudos to you mom! 👍🏽
Christy- one of the best decisions you guys have made for your family.
Parents are some of THE BEST teachers for their children!! If you have the time and commitment and availability of course! Im sooo excited for you Christy! I am right there with you! I am homeschooling my 5 children in Las Vegas as well! Hopefully we are able to run into you one of these days and connect with more friends like you! 💕
:) excited about it. Do you go to regular meet ups?
@@ChristyGior8 yes! I actually just started doing meet ups with the moms in my location of Vegas, so I am new to it. I know Henderson has one too. I’m currently still on the hunt for a good church out here with a homeschool group as well
Great Decision Mom ❤❤❤
That sounds just like Clark County School District. My kids were in private when we lived there in Vegas. We live in Colorado now and let me tell you, it’s been wonderful!
Good for you ! These kids are wayyy too advanced because of social media etc. it’s a pivotal time!
I applaud your decision to homeschool the kids for all the reasons you mention. I did with my son 5th & 6th grade, best decision ever.❤
Hi Christy just keep your kids safe please 🙏 all of them are very lovely
We are homeschooling middle school as well. I made that decision when my oldest was graduating elementary. We are 2 years into homeschooling him, and it is great. I think I will homeschool my daughters during middle school as well - for a lot of the same reasons as you have for homeschooling your girls.
I’m 29 and to be honest middle school back in the mid 2000s was not so great. The kids were tooo explorative and for the wrong reasons! I’m so blessed God was looking out for me but I can’t imagine going to school this day in age with social media, Tiktok, dramas, guns, etc. I’m really happy you decided to homeschool. I plan to do that for my own in the future. You are not wrong mama!
Remember the DARE program ?
Where the heck is it, vaping in middle school is insane 😮
Grea decision I will be doing the same once they are out of elementary school.
good for you mine was pulled out of public school sent to private school and one is a RN one is a MD and one is a pilot . people need to realize investing in ur children will be a huge pay off later one . today a ton of bullying goes on it’s so unacceptable.
Omg, I just googled news articles for CCSD and I’m shocked! It’s absolute insanity!
You’ve definitely thought this decision through extremely carefully so I’m sure your kids will do really well with this ❤
I want to be a mom like you when it’s time🧡 great decision
I home school my son using Acellus program, it's independent and self paced. This will be his 4th year doing it and I love it. He will be starting 6th grade this year
I love this! ❤️ I have a toddler and have been looking at some preschools but I'm very cautious on where to go and what their requirments are, who their teachers are , etc. It is crazy what some teachers get into and I've personally gone through stuff from teachers in HS so idk if I'm extra cautious but I'd love to homeschool co-op one day with a local church or something.
Our school district is number 5 on the list of 250 "most envied schools" in America and ranked one of the top schools in the state. It has 11 schools and almost 10,000 kids in the district. Same exact thing here with the kids and a lot of the teachers aren't it. Our oldest graduated last year and we have a 14 year old and 3 in elementary. No matter how good of a school district there are still wacky teachers and kids doing bad things and not being the best influences. I wish I could homeschool, but it's just not an option for our family.. so if you can, I definitely say go for it, you are the best influence for your children!
I live here and admire your decision.
There’s so many resources available for homeschooling and there are many homeschooling communities. Your kids will absolutely thrive !
Some of the same reasons you mentioned are the same way I felt and why I pulled my son from public school at 2nd grade . He is now a Homeschool Graduate and I loved every minute of it and don't regret my decision for a second. My son has grown to be such a sweet, intelligent, and kind young man and I know the public-school influences would have molded him into someone else. Do what's best for your babies' girl life is an experience and my son was also not sheltered he is a very social and talkative person despite being homeschooled. We truly enjoyed our homeschool journey together and he loved being home and learning at his speed. there are so many advantages to homeschooling and as you go along in your own journey you will fine tune is to what works for you and your kiddos. Good Luck!
Hats off to you! You are a wonderful mother! If my kids weren’t grown, I’d be questioning my dedication as a parent😂❤
Omg I feel you Christy. My daughter just went through her first year of middle school, and it was a mess!
I’ve home educated for years, we don’t school at home either. 17,13 & 12 children love to learn & can do so much themselves if you teach them how. I love having them home with me but you are spot on about bonding with them at that crucial age. Xx
In California, we have Opportunities for Learning and Options for Youth. Both are independent studies charter schools. I love the curriculum. I wonder if they would know of something similar in Nevada.
Yes Mama Christy!!! I know exactly what you're talking about! Im in Cali and I have a 2nd grader & 4th grader. The behaviors and drama they tell me is RIDICULOUS
Homeschooling is the best and safest for your children now days. My son is in Homeschool and he's Is thriving and excelling and everything. I know how you feel. God bless 🙏🏽 💜
Solo parent to 4 under 10 (3 are 9-18 months apart) working full time and in school, started homeschooling in October. Enjoying it throughly.
A few things to consider.. and I had to learn this as a public school kid and with my kids going to public school for some years.
Homeschool is NOT public school. Don’t set routines similar to it otherwise you will just set yourself up for failure. I was so frustrated with myself and the kids were too. Have the kids learn while self learning. Interesting concept right? But it will motivate them so much.
Reading and math are the only core subjects I hands on get involved but otherwise I just take them out for science, history and other fun activities. Field trips are big here and they learn quickly. My 7yo barely can read (neurodiverse) but he can measure bunch of things and calculate in his head quickly. His favorite store is Home Depot and he can just about tell you quite a few things about woodworking, measurements, and etc. all that with hands on learning.
My oldest hates to read but audio books are a favorite and she’s pretty fluent in Japanese after learning it I’m 6 months.
Each kiddo is different. My just turned 5yo is supposed to be in kindergarten this fall… is “GRADUATING” kindergarten this summer! He’s a bright 5yo that can read chapter books, multiply and do fractions and mostly did that by self learning. He hasn’t been in school.
Check out Math U See. But also check out Oak Meadow. It would check a lot of your boxes!
If you feel that way do what makes you happy. Those are your kids and you are doing a great job. Love Miami
I'm sure more parents would home school their kids if they had the opportunity i.e. work from home. These schools are not what they were when we went to school. I'm excited for all of you. Blessings!
That’s exactly why my kids are now in private school. I’ll work 3 jobs to pay the tuition if I have to before I send them back to public school. Not saying private schools are immune to those issues but the one my kids are in its significantly less if not zero.
Your an awesome mom❤
Christy,you GOT THIS 🗣️🗣️🗣️
I’m only six mins in. But I’ve homeschooled for 15 years. We love Easy Peasy All in One Homeschool. I just wanted to share that resource with you!
I also recommend joining HSLDA.
Christy, as a parent you know your kids needs and responsibilities regarding school and day to day life, than anyone else. Follow your instincts and pray, you can do it. 🙏🏾👍🏾
Great job 👏 keep it up structure is important and the distraction at school is scary 😱 live it. Discipline makes to be independent today.👏👏👏😃
Middle school is such a difficult time for kids. Yall know whats best for your kids. My son had problems on his school bus. I now drive him. He would've been able to do it, but at what cost? My Middle school was terrible. My High school was much better.
My son, has been using powerhomeschool for the past 2 years. He will be going into 6th grade this year.
Mom you do what’s right for your children!
