Your Assumptions About Me | Homeschool Myths vs. Reality | What People Assume About Homeschooling 

You are inspiring, Rebecca...how real you keep it always makes me feel like I’m doing okay in my homeschooling journey ❤️ You don’t pretend you always have it all together, but you’re obviously doing amazing at it!

And YES God is the same yesterday and forever and is our healer!! My daughter was born without a complete esophagus, could not eat or even swallow her own saliva. Had to be fed by tubes. God by His Wonderful Grace and Mercy healed her she eats everything by mouth and is tube free!! God is a miracle working God!

It would be super helpful if you could do a video, even a short one, about how your 2018-2019 curriculum plans played out over the school year. I love that video but it felt like a “here’s what we’re planning to do” and I’d love to see the post-game coverage on that. 😅🥰☺️

“If I wanna be a good person I need 8” I so feel you momma!! But like you I enjoy staying late! Regret in the morning

You don't know this, but we're totally friends 😃. God bless.

Hi there, I haven''t started the video but I just wanted to tell you that you have helped me in my homeschool journey significantly! I have gleaned so much wisdom from you as I am "getting serious" now with my 7 year old and 5 year old. I know you are blessing to other mamas too...I just wanted to encourage you to keep it up, because your wisdom is valued.

I just love the realism you bring to the table for all of us. It makes me feel like that we are on the this journey together with you as a sort of veteran homeschooler ( veteran in that you have had time as homeschooled and as a homeschooler who is still learning new things). It helps so much to be reminded that it's not in perfection that we are able to move forward, but the ability to work through the imperfections. I have been homeschooling my daughter from preschool, but the feeling of pressure didn't come until first grade. We are also homschooling year round! I found that having dedicated vacation weeks during the year mess us up and end up working harder to get back into the swing of things. We have family visit every 3 months, the sick days, and mental breaks I feel are best for using aka vacation days. It also makes things less stressful for when and the length of time to focus on a subject. You are not alone! I actually say non-denominational, because I do not want to be associated under a doctrinal umbrella when, I also agree, my walk is a relationship with Christ not a religious mandate that obliges me to the chains of law to be right with Him. Thank you, for posting this video! I know that it was overdue in the making, but the encouragement through it is real! Hugs from State side!

This was my favorite video you have done so far Rebecca! Thank you for being so real. I have been encouraged by you many times, but especially by this Q and A. It felt like getting to know a new friend over coffee. Love and blessings from Alaska!

Thank you for your honesty! Makes me feel so much better on ALL levels. Spirit Led Homeschool all the way ;)

You’re basically amazing. New subscriber. 7th year homeschooling and loving it! ♥️ Thank you for being a transparent and solid voice for this beautiful lifestyle choice. Love your passion!

Love your videos! You have inspired me so much in my homeschooling journey 😀 I love that you are genuine and real!

Love your honesty and message!! Keep rockin' it, mama!! 💖 💖

I love your videos! Thank you for being so honest. It's appreciated more than you know.

You are so much more relatable after seeing this video. I am new to homeschooling and do enjoy your videos. I am loving homeschooling and enjoy your videos. They are informative and helpful!

TFS! I love watching your videos bc you are honest about your successes and your failures! Many blessings your way 💕

You are awesome! I love how real and authentic you are ! By the way, you're also hilarious ❤️

Wow, I feel like you completely described me in this video! I was so looking forward to meeting you at our homeschooling conference in 2020. Hopefully one day that will still be able to happen. I plan on using gather round for our next year. Thanks for everything you do!

I can't believe I only found you a week ago. I feel like we could pretty much be the same person 😂 except I'm a morning person. Thank you for sharing your light and life with the world--I can't wait to watch how God grows your ministry!

You inspire me with EVERY video you make!

You are hilarious! Thank you for the inspiration and for a few laughs along the way! We sound very similar in many ways.

I love your faith and that you gove Glory to God in everything!! I know some people dont understand that but I'm the same way when it comes to my recipes! I always give God the Glory. Could do nothing without Him!!

I locked myself in the bathroom to listen to this (don’t worry not all of it, but I did get to hear you for a full minute without interruption)

Love your take on your faith. Same! Love your sense of humor. Very down to earth. ☺️

There's something about you I really like. You make it feel like I'm going to be okay my first year homeschooling my child.

You rock girl! Love your vids!!!💕❤️

"Choose Thankfulness in the space that you have. Dream. And pray." 😍😘

You just described me. I’m super extrovert with my people but then in big groups I shut down. I can’t stand small talk either. I’m all about deep good conversation. Ps I love the real passion you have with Christ. ❤️

My hubby is 10 years older. ❤️ I love this video! Thank you for making it! I love all the RU-vid content.

Love love LOVE you!!! and I don't even know you...what a fun video! I'm new to your channel and to homeschool this year. By the LORD'S leading...the BEST thing we have done...we LOVE how close we are and how close we've gotten to the LORD. I watched this and I just thought of how much joy you must bring the LORD... how you walk in HIS creation of you with such fullness. I love your simple honesty. Thank you for this my Sister in CHRIST...it was so refreshing...I pray our GOOD GOD blesses you with every good thing...in JESUS'S name 💙AMEN

You are so awesome! I’m so thankful for your channel 💖

I SO wish there were more women like you to be friends with! I haven’t clicked with a lot of other moms bc I tend to need someone who gets sarcasm, is outgoing, and funny! Like you! 😂

I busted a gut when you said you put makeup on under your eyes so you don't look dead LOL!!!!!! Love how real you are and your quirkiness. You would be a hoot!!

Just found your channel today, and enjoyed getting to know you a bit through this video. 😁

I feel more encouraged about starting homeschooling. Thank you for your videos. :)

I just got you in my feed, so I thought "Hey I'll check her out." I have watched some newer ones (the Gather Round ones) and when I saw this to listen to as I clean, I thought it was a good way to learn more about you... First, you sound similar in some ways, and opposite in some (it's all good, though- We all have different gifts to help one another.) God made us to be unique and be a blessing to others. I can be a messy person...and it creates craziness and then IT MUST BE CLEANED! There is a difference between messy and dirty, remember that, and give yourself grace if it's just a messy problem. Life happens. Kids, although they are a blessing from God, well, I've never met one who is naturally clean. I have 3 that are mine and 2 older ones (who are now married with children) that my husband and I had custody of. My husband and I are 9 years apart. I had a hysterectomy, and I was not ready to relinquish the privilege of having children. I love children and I wanted to have more, I never thought of the possibility of God still granting more after a hysterectomy. Your faith points to an Almighty God - 😊! I heard a missionary tell how they do not say they are Christians, because of the area, they believe that Christian people are what's in Hollywood movies (not Christian movies, but a regular old movie put out by Hollywood 😣) so they say "We are followers of Jesus Christ." We don't want to be lumped in with a wrong perception...and sadly the Church is not always about the Father's business. Winging it in homeschool? If people were truthful, we'd admit that we are winging it in life! Part of where we differ is our personalities. You say you are a introverted extrovert and I say I am an extroverted introvert. I ask the Lord ALL THE TIME to help me to talk to people, to start conversations and such. I am so quiet that I have been accused of being a snob. 🙁 So, I pray and ask God for the ability to converse with people. I don't care for small talk, but I think that in order to get to the meaty conversations with people, you have to scratch the surface topics off the list. It's good to be child like in your playing. There is nothing wrong with that. There was a dear sweet elderly lady that was a long -time family friend who has a very hard time getting around. She lived in an apartment building and one day in the winter, she went out and on her way back in she fell and couldn't get back up...so she made snow angels until someone came along to help her. It is all how you take what life gives you. Failure in "teaching" is only failure if you don't "learn" from it. I went through public schools (in America) and I didn't catch on with math until 10th grade. I was almost finished! I'm convinced that just because someone once said by such and such time children should know....doesn't mean that they will learn it by then AND just because children can say a little about it doesn't mean they know it. My husband could "learn it long enough to test for it" then he'd forget it. Never compare. Unless it's prices for shopping. I'm sure there's others, but you get my meaning.

"We float then mommy freaks out then we go again"..I'm seriously busting a gut with everything you are saying, we are so much alike! My name is Rebecca, I also have 5 kids, in Ontario. Love how real you are!

I love how a minute in you say "if you just stumbled across this and don't know who I am..." (Paraphrasing of course). I LITERALLY just found you 3 minutes before I started the video! 🤣

I relate to you so much! We are very similar! Fun video! Thanks for sharing :)

I have adhd & 2 kids with adhd. I’m thinking you might have it too. And I love that! I love that another homeschool mom might have it like myself. So much that you’ve said makes me think we would be great friends!

Thanks for being so real!

I feel you on the introvert in public! I am so much better with my own people when it comes to extroversion.

After watching this whole thing a year later, since I found you only recently, I assume you and I are a lot alike. So I loved this video. Made me laugh. Also, I’ve only been to BC once and it was beautiful!

This is so real and hilarious and I really really like you even more 😆

Loved this video!

You are awesome!! I love how real and authentic u are!! We are totally twins!!

Love this!!!

You are definitely organized!!! Just because you switch curriculums doesn’t mean you are unorganized. You are just careful that your children work with curriculum that fits to their learning preferences 💐😁 thank you so much for taking the time to guide us even if you have 5 little ones 👍 you are amazing and beautiful💐🦋 what is your favorite Christian book or reader fir patents to read to their children ?? God Bless you even more 👍🏼

"Honor your starting point." Amen!

😂 this video made me feel not alone! Totally get you on the food baby thing for instance lol

Such a great role model !!

We have so much in common. Great video!

Girl, if you and I were closer I could totally see us being friends. I was like, Yes!! That is Me too! to a lot of your answers.

This was super fun!

"food baby" LOL!!!! that's funny!! ps. God gave you an amazing facial structure & jaw-line!

Praise God! I love your description of faith :-)

You and I are cut from the same cloth!! I think I need to send you a DM rather than list it all here. You and I speak the SAME WAY and have what appears to be the same "default" settings. The main difference is our husbands, both officers but that's where similarities end. So glad I found your channel! :)

Spirit led homeschool!! Amen, sister! Grounded in scripture! Amen, sister!!

Kindred spirits! ❤️❤️

Omg, are you my twin?? Lol. We’re sooo much alike. Love it. I actually made my husband watch it as a reminder that I’m not the only one out there, lol. I’m a Scorpio, btw. Curious to know what sign you are.

"Do you think homeschool is happening? Think again." --- Ermmmm, embarrassingly accurate in this house. >

I really enjoyed this video💖

The Acts Church!!! Yes, I'm so about this.

We are SO similar. I feel like our personalities are very alike. :)

I found that I was lacking probiotics and that was causing my “food babies.” I went through the same thing, as in what you said about waking feeling great and then having bloating throughout the day. Try a simple workout and add probiotics. :)

I’m just curious if you’ve ever been to the south in the US? I live in northeast MS and it’s not the heat that gets us. It’s the humidity!!! If you’ve ever taken a hot shower then gotten out and gotten dressed completely wet and hot that’s what it’s like here. Some days you take at least 2 baths a day. But I’m NOT complaining! I HATE the cold and winter! I love to look at it but I have lupus and RA so it just makes me hurt. But I didn’t like winter before I got sick. I just hate being cold. If y’all ever want to experience it let me know! Lol.

You make me feel normal 😂❤️

"its going to happen! In my spare time." Hahahaha. Story of my life!

We have more in common than I thought! 😁

have you looked at ACE? if so, did you evaluate and review it? would you consider it? thanks

I am totally unorganized also, but strangely, my homeschool paperwork organization is awesome.

I was never homeschooled nor was my husband. I have been reading and wanting to homeschool ours for about a year now. So I just pulled them out 3 days ago. Kinder and 2nd grade. Now I’m questioning myself and crying all the time. Did I do the right thing?? Can I do this??

Haha! Great stuff 👍🏼

Praying for you to be able to have another baby🙏

My son has been in public school all his life. Will their credits cross over to homeschool curriculum?

"I'm like STOP IT" me too! lol!

LMAO, I feel exactly the same about my belly. I look rocking awesome at 7 am and by 4 I'm like, "What the what??" Lol. I get it.

Will you not be using MB for 2020?

Amen on God ☝🙌

How can you homeschool and work at the same time?

I assume I'm weird. I'm watching this video of this lady talking about her personal life. This lady I never saw before.

What is your sign?

I am the same way and stay up way too late!

Im assuming that you are a Pisces.

This was good.

How in the world did your mother do abeka PLUS unit studies?!?! That's the #1 reason why I refuse to do Abeka, I want freedom/flexibility and my husband likes it when we finish stuff. 🤷

How do u start homeschool

I DO NOT like small talk either.

We are so much alike 😝

We would be great friends

You are my doppelganger lol

And neighbors. I'm in fsj.

I think you’re an enneagram 7 like me. ❤️

Le Sigh I want more kids but should not bc of health too

Wow you are gorgeous,🙌💯

Rabecca, can you please coach me? Even one call. I will pay you 😊😊

I love this video!! you are so real ...Im a homeschooler, I was homeschooled as well as going to charter schools and public school and you say it the way it is, thank you for being real online. I believe in the acts church and miracles .. check out therockchurch.org ...

We are soooooooo much alike even share a name haha 😆

Oh my are we twins separated at birth ?? Lol

Why the cristians,religious people and homeschooling people have a lot of kids? They dont study on his "homeschooling program" about global warming?... its not a offense Im not trying to offend anybody,but i see that a lot
