- I really enjoy homeschooling my children because we don't really spend much time at home. From Classical Conversations, to band practice, to ballet and everything in between, homeschooling is a lot of work for me but I feel like it's worth it for my girls.

This week’s episode is a vlog that followed us through a week of our homeschooling schedule.
This was scheduled for release today… and I have decided to release it because so many have commented that it brings you a sort of peace. I pray that this channel will always do that.
Although my children do not go to traditional school, I do drop them off at quite a few extra curricular classes in school settings and these continued tragic stories are horrifying… grocery stores, schools… it no longer feels safe to go out. Even before yesterday, when dropping them off at their classes, we always talk about escape routes and exits. What crazy existence is this? How many of us go to restaurants, stores, malls and look for exits or places to hide??!?! I know we do. And we’ve been doing this for years now. How incredibly sad is that?
Yesterdays news was a nightmare. Oh how my heart breaks for these families. 💔
I hope in the mist of these pains, you can find escapes, pockets of some peace. The mind is a battlefield. Please take care of yourselves.
Sending you all the biggest hug.
Thank you for sharing, especially today. 💙❤️🩹
Such a natural instinct now to make sure your mapping out how to get out of wherever your at. One of the many quotes I live by... "I wouldn't change my kids for the world. I would change the world for my kids ". Something along those lines.
Thank you for sharing this video, especially today, we need some peace and positivity. I love that homeschooling is a family affair with Papa Joe, your mom and papi helping out. I have to ask, how did you do all that running around before you got your drivers license?
My first thoughts when I saw this upload, “Yes, something peaceful”. It’s so needed, and I thank you for deciding to still post. We need ALL THE LIGHT. ❤️❤️
😪♥️🙏🏼 thank you for the encouraging words
You couldn't have said it any better ma'am. Anytime this channel pops up on my timeline it's radiate peace. Thanks @Claude for deciding to do this ❤️❤️
I would love to be this kind of parent to my future children that I will have one day ♥️
♥️🥲🙏🏼 thank you for that lovely compliment
I was think the exact same thing!
I wanna provide a life like this as well😩
“Jetty stop it I heard you”
Jet: Yea I know
😂😂😂😂😂😩 kids are hilarious
Jet's prayer really touched my heart. Something so special when children pray
My perception of homeschooling was completely different than this. I didn’t think that I was cut out for teaching my little ones. I love how much you are able to rely on so many aspects of your local community. I didn’t realize how well rounded homeschooling could be. I also thought that my kids wouldn’t get the social skills needed but your girls are so confident and they get to hang out with several groups. Thanks for this Claudette! This was comforting to watch at a time like this. ❤️
Claudette! This week’s episode was so educational and insightful. There’s so many layers to unpack. First off, thank you for being so vulnerable with us and being transparent around the girls’ homeschooling process. There were many aspects of their schooling that I liked, which included making the world around them their classroom. I believe your version of homeschooling to be thoroughly enriching. The wide variety of topics and themes that the girls are exposed to will help them in whatever career or academic pursuit they choose. In addition, I love the quiet moments that are intentionally built into their day. I have a Masters of Education in School Counseling and one of the things I dislike about traditional school environments is how they don’t provide students a lot of room for quiet time, reflection, meditative breaks. There’s unfortunately a lot of behavior management that occurs during class hours, which takes away from learning.
This week’s episode was such a joy to watch. I love the connection and bond that you have with your girls. I also love that your parents and close friends are also part of the learning environment. I just felt like the girls are surrounded by a loving cocoon of warmth and support.
I’m just in awe of you as a woman, wife, and a mother. You inspire me very much. I have a four month old son and I am learning so much from you and Gerd in how I want my husband and I to parent our son, with intention, purpose, wisdom, love, and so much more.
Thank you for sharing your life with us. I feel like society is craving more quality content (like yours) that can raise our collective consciousness around family, integrity, love, connection, culture, marriage, parenthood, and all the other topics you will cover on your channel.
It is with immense gratitude that I thank you and your entire family for sharing a glimpse into your world.
Beautiful comment. I agree with every word!
Lord, it’s me again lol. Please bless our family with the financial means so that I can have the time and resources to home school my two daughters as well. In Jesus Name, Amen!
PS. You’re an amazing mom! I don’t do half of these things with my girls because I’m back in school and they go to school as well. But at times I still feel overwhelmed and feel that I dont have enough time to take care of myself. How do you invest so much time and energy into them and still make time to pour into yourself? Do you ever feel lost in mommyhood?
You need help. All Mothers do. Community and village. That's the only way
You make homeschooling seem so do able. I always viewed it as a taunting task but after watching this episode I feel like when I have children one day that I can do it and, in the world, we are living in today this seems like a way better option!!!
Love you Claude & Co
*daunting
Can this family get any more LOVABLE?! Talking about a WELL-ROUNDED education. Even time learning with all the grandparents, it doesn’t get any better 💖💕
omggg i’ve been waiting for this video⭐️
Yay ♥️♥️♥️
We homeschooled our kids for many years and had co-ops and lots of CC and field trips. Our oldest went to college and youngest is in Public high school. I’m still recovering from my homeschool days but I do dearly miss the sweet mornings and field trips and flexibility and community!! What a blessing and covering from the Lord. I’m down to one child at home and I still think the running around is just as much. However I capitalize on bubble baths these days. Well done Claud!!!! Keep going moma bear. I’m 41 and just now catching my breath. It’s a slow and steady jog
Thank you for sharing this! So eye opening the way you run your homeschooling! Maybe an episode would be how you can create what you’re doing for the mama on a lower budget or tips and tricks to still give world schooling on a budget
I also LOVE the “it takes a village” my biggest fears in ever taking on home schooling is 1. I don’t know nearly enough to teach + 2. Not having the support to sustain it! Seeing your mom and dad as well as the group you designed is so beautiful and I hope to one day design this lifestyle that my kids and their kids can experience also!
Claudette is BEAUTIFUL even wheen she's tired! I admire your beauty and for all you show of your family!
I started homeschooling my 4 girls this year. It has been challenging for me but I love it. We are Muslim and I was not happy with what is being taught in school and also the pressure they felt. We had issues with bullying also. I also love that that have time to discover who they are through different activities and courses.
Yes weekends here are spent buying supplies for experiments and art projects
Homeschooling is looking very tempting right now 🙏🏽❤️
Given what has recently happened I hope more parents can find the time to do homeschooling. Jett and Beau are so smart! And they are safe.
Currently 38 weeks pregnant with a little girl! I would love for her to grow up with this type of experience with education :). Thanks for sharing!
This is so wholesome. Makes me appreciate the little unique elements of a family. God bless you for sharing. May God bless your family and shine on each of you all the days of your life
The community in this video is AMAZING! I live the way the girls aren’t really missing anything in terms of a tradition classroom setting. I’ve got a masters in Sociology with an emphasis in education and I currently work as a private tutor. My long term goal is to one day open a school for marginalized students. So seeing the fun and unique ways in which your girls learn is really inspiring! Now I wanna do research on the homeschooling process. Such a great episode, can’t wait for the next one!
After the past 24hrs…I needed something light, peaceful and pure! ❤️
Teaching your children it's okay to slow down to grieve is beautiful. I lost my mother as a teenager and it took me years to learn to grieve her. 🥰
I cant explain to you how eye opening the content you have about homeschooling. Thank you sharing! Thank you for showing black and brown families in " non traditional' spaces excelling. this really was great!
I missed your videos! So calm and positive 🥰
Thank you sooo much ♥️
Omg your girls speak so beautifully! Jet & Beau both were so confident speaking to their class! I am so impressed!
Yayyyyyyyy! A new video! Home schooling seems so foreign, weirdly enough. But I can’t wait to see what is in store💖
♥️☺️
Claude, you are an amazing mom, really good example of what a mom should be, love watching your videos, girls you all are very blessed to have such a great mom, God continue to bless your beautiful family 🙏 ❤️ 🇹🇹
I am beginning my homeschooling journey with my kindergarten this year. I have 3 kids and this video was sooooo helpful and encouraging. I am super interested in the curriculum you use and can’t wait to learn more about them. Thank you for sharing!
I don’t have kids but I think I will want to homeschool when I do. I am worried about homeschooling and working. Do you have to work an adjusted schedule or cut back on hours to have time for homeschool?
First Claudette is beautiful inside and out. She inspires me to be a better mother to my 4 kids ✨💜
Second, Beau trying to say white neck tuft took me out 😂😍
It's great that the family is involved with the homeschooling. Also, Bo with her nose in a book all of the time and Jett on the piano makes me happy. These girls are involved with activities away from the TV and it's a beautiful thing.
Annnnnnd they’re back! I’m so excited! Love you guys.
your girls are such angels! thank you for sharing them!
Loved everything about this. So excited for what exciting things the future has in hold for these bright girls 💓 I definitely could have used that public speaking class. I struggle with that still at 24 years old. Currently trying to apply to jobs and finding interviews a bit hard with my anxiety. I have so much hope things will turn out for me. Thank you sis, stay safe. Love you guys ❤️
I love these love videos❤️ I could watch you and your girls for hours. Such a beautiful family
This was so lovely to watch, Beau and Jet are crazy intelligent, and Claude you are doing such a great job, I kept watching this with a smile on.
Hey Claudia. I am so excited to see you and your family enjoying Homeschooling. I myself homeschool 3 kids. I was wondering that you should do a video on the homeschool curriculum you use for eachother courses because us Homeschooling parents love to learn and get ideas from other families to keep encouraging eachother. Hope you and your family stay safe and have a wonderful weekend. ❤
So loving and nurturing. Love all of it!!!!
Beautiful week in the life of the girls! Thank you for sharing Claudette! You have a beautiful family! 📚💕
Luv the video your daughters are so adorable and so much respect for you being able to juggle homeschool and everything else so dope ❤️❤️❤️
Blessings and keeping you and all in prayers!
Every child should experience some of this deliciousness that You give to your girls,Claudette. You are one in a million😎👍🏾
I recently rewatched Adrienne’s Day in the Life Quarantine vlog when all of you were staying with her and Israel in LA, and I recall you saying that homeschooling in quarantine was not as easy as some people thought it was. I remember being one of those people who thought “How could it not be?”, given my narrow-minded view of what I thought homeschooling was.
After watching this vlog and your other video on homeschooling, it totally makes sense of why homeschooling in quarantine would be extremely challenging. Thank you for being so transparent and giving people like myself a whole new perspective on what non-traditional schooling looks like. You’re changing minds and views in a non-confrontational which is amazing.
Your girls are such beautiful little souls, you and Gerd are obviously doing something right. Thank you for blessing us with an insight into your family life. It can’t be easy putting yourselves out there but to me, it shows such an innate sense of self and confidence. You’re an inspiration. If you get around to reading this comment, thank you for taking the time.
Love to see a well rounded education! 🌎 Keep up the good work Claude! 💙
they are getting a much better education this way. It looks fun not boring and educational. What a great mom and over all family they have. Helping with home schooling.
Thank you for always sharing!🤗 This is amazing and I love the way that your family is included in Jet and Beau’s school curriculum!💖
This is the best episode so far... Love seeing you hands on with the girls!
Your family is beyond refreshing to see! Blessings
Thank for sharing yours and your family’s light🙏🏽💚

Thank you for opening my eyes to the idea of homeschooling. The way you incorporate education, family, and faith into the curriculum is inspiring. God bless you and your love ones. Sending love from Canada
I’m happy you posted! :) 💛 Congratulations on getting your driver’s license!!
Yayyyyy, I thought there'd never be another episode on homeschooling!❤😍🔥🔥
You have the most amazing kiddos ever 💜
I admire your videos. There is such a sense of calm and peacefulness, I feel so relaxed after watching your videos. Amazing content.
Love the full-familia participation!
Another amazing video. ❤️ love you Familia
Claude thanks so much for this chronicle. Our lives are similar in a few ways. I homeschooled my children.
So excited for this video! I love how calming your voice and explanations are. My son is only 3 right now but I love this style of homeschooling and strive to incorporate this once he starts school! 🤍
Wow, so amazing!
Loved this episode! It’s such a great window into homeschooling which so many people have So Many misconceptions about. It truly is what you make it and there are so many opportunities to make it a super enriching experience.
We just finished our first year and are part of CC as well!!
Thank you Claude and Co for being such an inspiration to all moms. I’ve been thinking about home schooling my daughter specially with all the terrible mass shootings that occur in the U.S. Videos like these make me think homeschooling is possible. ❤️🙏🏽
Thank you I so needed this today. As my daughter and son were going off to school today and I was crying she told me she would be home schooling her future children. I have been stressed all day as I am sure many parents were today.
What a beautiful life Claude. It reminds me of when your Mom was raising you and A. She was such a good Mom, so active and involved. She helped teach our boys about the Lord which I'm sure she does with your girls. It warms my heart to see you all. My love and prayers to you all. Angie Santiago, Joey and Phillip's mom, Gigi's aunt. Much love your way❤
You got me considering homeschooling over here. Love this!
Love your content. Especially excited for this upload after the evil shooting we had near home in Texas. Please keep this content coming- not pushy influencing, random sponsorships, and so wholesome I love it
Love your channel Claude! Your family is beautiful. & how about that village! ❤️ you inspire me to keep on doing what works for my family. I am a stay at home mom and although my babies are 4 & 2 we already have our “school time” & activity schedule down! Please keep posting. I love your aura and your soft spoken voice. Brings so much peace.
So inspiring! Love this channel so much:)
Yaaas Mamá Nilda with the pupusa 🫓 🤤& Spanish lessons, that’s so beautiful that she gets to be involved in their learning. This was amazing to watch. I hope the girls are learning how to code off camera too lol!
Please continue to share your life and especially homeschooling❤️ So informative and you have such a graceful, peaceful and wonderful energy🙆🏻♀️ thx u
You are so beautiful Claudette..Love to see Jet and Beau and hear you speak Spanish 💜💜💜
Wow this totally changed my perspective on homeschooling. I really thought it wasn’t as much work as it is. This is incredible! Do your girls want or miss graduation?
I love this video!
🥰
Yay😃ur back, hope all is well.
I love your journey, I have a thirteen year old son that I homeschool. We love it, although it's hard at times, the journey is worth it. Our bond is much stronger and I love teaching him. We live in Puerto Rico but I'm from New Jersey born in the Bronx, so it's been interesting. Love you guys this was great to see 😘
Your family is so so beautiful 💕
What a blessing! It looks chaotic and lovely.
Can I request you discuss the cost. It would be my dream (like my ultimate dream) to be able to provide this to my children.
Also! Yes, to Gilmore Girls. It’s my quirky show, filled with peace and laughter.
Yey! 😍 Our Claude and Co. I'm super excited...
☺️♥️🥰
What a beautiful life! So cute. ✿
Jet is you and Beau is so Adrienne. It's so cute!! 😍😍
Beautiful episode
This is so heartwarming, i want to do the same someday, this is so inspirational ❤
Thanks for sharing this video today. I love the idea of building confidence through public speaking and thinking this is something I would like to practice with them at home. Although, I think their confidence around me is different than being in school.
I loved the episode 😻
The “hot dog” mummification experiment was so incredible. Both girls loved it so much. We all learned so much and had fun doing it! Love my little scientists!
Wow you live such a beautiful life ♥️
Love your channel❤ God bless❤
Super cool 😍
I could honestly just watch a weekly vlog of you homeschooling!
So wholesome ❤🌻
Love all your videos, would love to hear about your nursing journey
