@@Itsjackiemiller I have not. Honestly I’ve changed things up so much, I would probably need to do a whole new video again at this point 😅 but im trying to get back on here with consistent videos so I’ll add this to my list of things you guys want to see 🫶🏼
Ya I can share something without giving away too much info. Summer schedule is a little different from the “school year” but it’s just about consistent with three weeks on, one week off. I’ll put together something to give a little more details this week though!
@@haileyanderson7870The monthly payment option is great for locals and I know a lot of people utilize that. Our struggle was sitting down to look at our budget and everything else we wanted to do with the kids, Disney was sucking up all our money 😅 We are getting passes to SD Zoo and other places with our charter funds this next year so that’ll be a nice replacement and hopefully expand our horizons on other things to do without going broke 🫣😆
@@haileyanderson7870 ohh that’s a lot of moving! I’ve heard amazing things about Idaho though! I have a few friends I’ve connected with on IG that live there as well 😊
No, Treehouse Nature Studies provide the curriculum in pdf form or print but just that. Everything else is just what I’ve added to it for a personal touch☺️
Definitely look into Kate Snow’s Preschool Math at Home for TK. Your charter school funds will cover the book too. We used it alongside the gentle and classical preschool curriculum and loved it! They are simple activities that build upon each other and are really well thought out. You might also like the gentle and classical preschool…they focus on letters, numbers, manners, hygiene, bible, theology, art and music, but do it in a very simple way! And for Spanish I would look into “Homeschool Languages” I haven’t used it, but it looks pretty cool and hands on for kids. Looks like a fun year though!
Someone else in the comments suggested Homeschool Languages as well! Definitely will look into those! Now that you mention it I think I bought the gentle and classical preschool curriculum years ago so I’ll try to pull that back out and try that out with my little. Thank you for the recs! 🥰
@@tayshabib I don’t work with the charter schools but they might I’ll look into it but I know we don’t have a lot of the limitations in our state on homeschooling that others do
@@tayshabib yeah Texas sees homeschooling as more of a right than a luxury so it’s nice 😊 and helpful when ya broke 🤣 enjoyed ur videos I binge them when I’m printing 🤪
45 states have charter schools. Ca gives you funds when you are on a charter school. They are considered public schools and come with various stipulations.
Good to know! I had a handful of people on TT asking because they’d never heard of charter schools in their state. So that’s interesting…I wonder if it’s just not talked about in other states or just not emphasized because funds aren’t included? 🤔
@@tayshabib That is a good question. 🤔 I didn’t know much about them when I homeschooled my kids. We did the PSA. We do option #3 (California) and teach him under my daughter’s credential. I’m glad there’s so many options these days.
@@melinathornton we started with a PSA but had enough friends who went with charters for the funds, they influenced us haha. Financially it just made sense for us with four kids and the cost of any sports or classes is INSANE now 😅
HOMESCHOOL LANGUAGES has an amazing curriculum! We are on week 9 and they have made huge progress compared to a different program I used for over a year.
Love curriculum picks! We are in a public virtual school in our state and I think it is similar to California charter schools. We’ve been in it for 4 years now. Love it! I’m a new subscriber. I also have a homeschool youtube channel.
@@tayshabib Indiana. I don’t know how similar it is, but we are able to get educational items or classes with the funding, we are required to do state testing and turn in work every few weeks.
Love your videos! So happy to see you’re back ☺️ thank you for sharing the American Girl Unit studies. I can’t wait to check it out. I wish I was near you so I could join your co-op lol it’s such a cute idea! As for questions, I’m curious how you balance life as a homeschool mom? More specifically time to workout and if you ever have time away for yourself? Besides homeschool burnout, being a stay at home mom in general is a lot
Would love to dive into that! It’s been a journey trying to find that balance but it’s definitely something my husband and I have always understood to be a non negotiable. He helps push me when I’m in my funks and need to get out and have a break, but being stubborn (and introverted 😅) and just wanting to stay home. Can add to my list of upcoming videos to do more of a day in the life/sit down convo to share what we do to balance things 😊
Updated and linked them under the More Resources section in the description! Sorry for the delay. I tried doing it on my phone a few days ago and never went back to make sure it saved.
@@benkriegh4256 Yes! Completely agree and I mention the Rooted curriculum in the video. Most people tend to ask about the religion part because they are looking for secular curriculum.
The other big book is a poetry book. Can’t remember the name but I have it linked in my TNS list on Amazon. The rest of the books we grabbed are all included in the book list with the Treehouse Nature Studies curriculum 😊
Hi love! First of all, you are not alone and your feelings are so valid. Secondly, you are naturally so beautiful but I also understand struggling to feel that way. Makeup and all things girly are right up my alley so I would love to give any feedback/help that I can.
I grew up without any “typical” female influence (my mom is very minimalistic and has never cared about makeup, fashions ,etc) so girlhood and now womanhood has been a wild ride😅 all that to say I can relate to how you feel. Over the past year I have had a big shift where I no longer see makeup and fashion as a chore and now find it very fun to play around with. I think for myself, part of this was finding creators that I enjoyed following in those areas. I used to be very bitter towards these things because I didn’t know what I was doing, and I still don’t! But now I just took the pressure off and have fun with it. Hopefully this helps in some way 😊
Love this perspective!! And I totally understand what you’re saying about enjoying the things that might have been unpleasant in the past. I found a few creators on TikTok that inspire me the same way you described! My only struggle is both of them are ridiculously tall so I can’t pull the same kind of inspiration for outfits because I know it won’t look the same on me 😅 still searching!
Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your days at this time of year. I always leave inspired by your organizational skills, and wanting to do a craft or something similar with mine! It does not come easy to me since it’s the complete opposite of how I was raised, but here’s to God using us to pave new paths for our children and generations to come!🙏🏽♥️
I feel that so deeply. I spent more of my early childhood being babysat by other family members. My parents were not involved at all. Trying to break generational cycles and create a stronger bond with my kids now 🥰🫶🏼
This is so beautiful! I'm in the process of converting our enclosed porch into a homeschool room. I loved getting ideas from this video! I'm also a homeschool/homemaking mama! Can't wait to follow along!
Congratulations sister in Christ! I do not know you but I am confident we could sit and chat all things God & motherhood for hours on end! Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to other Mommas, to strive to be better every day. I am always encouraged to strive to be a better Mom/wife after watching your videos. I pray God’s blessing over your work, and can only rejoice with you in knowing that the best is yet to come!
You are so brave Tay, thanks for sharing this! It really struck a cord with me when you mentioned the lack of support, or even more so, resistance from your family, as I have dealt with similar. My parents are both primary school teachers and they both teach at the same school and my husband is also currently studying to become a teacher...so the irony that I am going to be homeschooling our children is funny although challenging. I have been praying about it for years and have had confirmation from the Lord a lot, and praise Him for if he has called you to it, He will sustain you through it. After years now of prepping them for this, we start official school lessons next year with our oldest, they are very sceptical soon and can be still judgemental however they have come around to it a lot more now. Praise God! I do believe that God will continue to work on their hearts, as well as my own in this journey. It was so nice to hear that I am not alone in this, God continue to bless you and your family abundantly! You are doing so great! Love Steph, from Australia <3
I want so badly to have better habits and earlier starts of my days. It just seems impossible. We're about to move into a bigger place by the end of the month and I'm about to give birth to our 9th baby in Dec so I'm hoping this new transition I can start creating better habits.
As a homeschool mama of 8 and #9 on the way, my mindset has changed and my new identity IS a wife, a mother, a homemaker and homeschool teacher. I take mich pride in those titles. I think a lot of times we can allow ourselves to get depressed and overwhelmed bc we're stuck looking backwards instead of embracing our new identity. This is what we were created for. I do agree you need tome for yourself to decompress, rest, have quiet time ect. Im thankful my husband dies not expect me to be perfect. I sleep in when i want sometimes we do school on the evening. Or simply just skip and relax for a day. Homeschooling doesn't have to be so rigid and in schedule like you said 👌🏽. I have the gift of 2 older kids so they help a lot, i have a play room and send all the children there to play while I do the things I need to do for my husband, myself or home. Thinfs get easier as your children grow older especially if you train them and give them responsibilities. The hard part only truly lasts for the first 7-9 yrs after that you've raised a little helper. Home economics is important in our homeschool so all the chilt have to pitch in and we shouldn't feel guilty for that like the world will try to make you feel.
Haha same I started really young. I'm 31 now and don't relate to most women my age I got married at 24 and have been baby making every since lol. But I have so many children that I'm ok without friends bc I don't have the time anyways lol🤷🏽♀️.
So peaceful and calm! We are doing an apple unit as our first unit study of the year too. About to get all the fall stuff out and decorate this weekend now after seeing this video! 😂❤
