Welcome to This House of Walls!
I love to use this space to share about homeschooling!
Our family has been homeschooling since 2020. We try to choose secular, inclusive curriculum or find ways to edit it to fit our views. We tend to choose classical or literature based curriculum but I will use anything that helps my children learn.

I wouldn’t waste time reading Mary Poppins. There are so many better books available.
Why did you not like Mary Poppins?
Hi. Are you still using the Layers of Learning writing program? Thanks! 18:50
Yes, we are! I have talked about it in some of my monthly videos. We really love it! It is encouraging my kids to write at their own levels. We also really enjoy the variety of different writing it has.
I purchased a packet from TPT that has multiple novel activities. I think it's really well thought out, the activities vary enough for one to appeal to different learning style of students, and it isn't overwhelming for the teacher/student (unless they want to be overwhelmed which is my son when it comes to any type of schooling). The creator is Addie Williams if you're interested in looking.
Oh thank you for the recommendation! I will look into it. ❤️
Do you have a link to the Word Ladders curriculum? Thanks!
It won't let me share it but Amazon has all the levels!
@thishouseofwalls Thank you!
You gave me some wonderful ideas. Thanks for sharing!
I’m a few years behind you in age of kiddos, but I love all your suggestions!!!
I actually didn't love that Norse Myths book (the writing felt a bit stilted or something), but the other books in that series are fabulous! We particulary loved Egyptian Myths and Goddesses and Heroines.
Oh no! Well we will have to check those out too!
Fun video!! I always need more books!!! 🤪 You HAVE to check out the podcast Greeking Out!! My 3 boys became obsessed with Greek mythology after listening to those!! They are so fun!!! The Du’alaires book of Greek myths is also great!!
Oh I bet they would love to check that out. ❤️
@@thishouseofwalls yes, i dont know if you have but my 16 year old and i have listened to almost every episode of the podcast
You should look at Mary Pope Osborne’s The Odyssey part 1 and 2 for Greek Mythology for a possible read aloud. Mythology sounds very fun!
We LOVED those books too!!
Oh I will have to check those! Thanks for the recommendation!
I found an abridged christmas carol at the little free library so reading a chapter everyday and then tryin to watch one of our favorite christmas movies everyday.
Sounds perfect! 🎄
We love Denison Math. My 10th grader is now on the Geometry level and there is no looking back 😊
Yes! It has been such a wonderful math curriculum for my son.
We have an elf that doesn’t get in much mischief either because this mama doesn’t want to clean that up 😂
Just found your channel and absolutely love it! There are great ideas in here!
Welcome! ❤️
We are a secular family, but I’m also a music teacher and love sacred Christmas music. Sacred classical and choral music in general. Love that you guys are doing this
Oh I do too! And I feel like there is so much to learn from that music. We are really enjoying this addition to our homeschool.
I loved it! It inspired me to clean up some stuff that’s been bugging me:)
We have similarly-looking countertops and I really dislike them. It can be so hard to really see how clean they are. You have such a comfortable & cozy-looking home. <3
Yes! They aren't my favorite but we will deal with them. Thank you! We have worked hard over the years to make this house a home. ❤️
Blossom & Root language arts levels 4 and 5 each include three poet studies per year. They are part of the language arts guide as opposed to a separate guide like Art and Music.
Oh man I wish it was separate. I'll keep looking! ❤️
Squilt looks interesting. Thanks for sharing.
This was actually helpful. I’m probably going to be using some of BYL next year but there are other aspects of different programs i want to incorporate as well
I love using bits and pieces of curriculum to make it work for our family! ❤️
For BYL level 7, are you doing it as written or adding any science supplements?
We are following the general structure but definitely adding some and taking some out. I have found some fun things from TeachersPayTeachers to add.
I'm curious how long a typical day of BYL takes you to complete? Are you combining multiple days together?
BYL definitely is the curriculum that takes the longest part of our day. But also, it has the most subjects: History/Geography, science, literature, readers, poetry, and art. Our days are usually 3-4 hours long with half of that being BYL. This day was extra long for my 8th grader because he was catching up on some work he hadn't finished from the week before.
@@thishouseofwalls we are doing Torchlight level K currently and it's pretty in depth. I imagine it only gets more so the further up you go.
I love how you all read so much!
Looking forward to using this curriculum and this video is so helpful! Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and hope you love the curriculum!
Thanks
Nice seeing we’re not the only ones who fall behind with BYL. Those heavy days just come out of nowhere and really surprise you. Love your videos! Excited for your new channel. 😊
We definitely need to catch up if life gets busy. I just have to keep reminding myself that it's ok and we will get to it... and if we don't, oh well!
Thanks again for a great video! Your content is very interesting to me! I love the feedback on the books and how your kids rate them. Very unique format for homeschooling content and it's refreshing
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
❤📚📚❤️
I love these videos. Another book loving homeschool mama here. I'd love to follow you on goodreads too, but I couldn't find your link.
Welcome!! I will add it to the description. ❤️
@thishouseofwalls well, to be fair I've been here for ages, I just never comment lol But I'm excited to follow you there also.
Well I am glad you decided to comment. ❤️ I love to chat in the comments.
I had the same thoughts about Fate Inked in Blood. I really wanted to love it but I was just kind of hmm. Ok then. 😕
Yes! I thought the plot was pretty good but how it was done just didn't work at times. I still might try the next book.
I rate my books too high as well. Like…this is a 3 star book but the author gave it a good shot so here’s an extra 4th star. 😂
Yes! Also, if it is a popular book that so many other people loved I always want to rate it higher. I think I need to clearly write out my rating scale for books.
@@thishouseofwalls same here!
Are you still using it?
Yes! We are loving it! My 8th grader took a little break but we have pulled him back onto it. I will talk a little about it in my September wrap up next week.
Looks like a good TBR list. For October I am going to read a Stephen King book.
Oh fun!!
Well now I want to read all of those too😂
All of these sound so good and I now have them all on my TBR which is kind of stressful 😂
You're welcome! 🤣❤️
Love your videos🎉
Thank you! ❤️
I think this was an editing issue coupled with a writing style where Sanderson could have been pushed to tighten up his language. It makes it feel like it drags a bit and I was left always thinking "if I just make it one more page, something will get traction and the book will take off." This is a writing style issue where the story idea is neat but the writer is in slow burn mode and some readers want to get on with it already! I dont read slow burns well. I end up skimming and missing stuff and the DNFing. Maybe put book 2 on audio at double speed 😂
Yes! This is exactly how I was feeling. I was hoping that eventually the writing would suck me in but it never did. Oh I ended book 1 at double speed and it was still a struggle! 🤣
I struggle with dense fantasy books too. I want to get sucked into a world that I keep wanting to return to, but they just rarely pull me in. I live the series love vicariously through booktubers 😂
Yes! Nothing about this book really sucked me in. I will try again but maybe cozy fantasy is more for me.
“ the kids in public school are my kids peers, and we need success in public school.” This! It’s not an us vs them, we need all kids to have the opportunity to succeed. ❤
You need to move your whole mouth when you talk, including your upper lip.
Wow. What would I have done going the rest of my poor life without this advice from you?! Now I will be able to change something about myself and the way i naturally am since you so blatantly pointed it out. ❤️
Your coffee comments always make me laugh. Every time I start one of your videos I wonder if you are going to make a coffee comment and I look forward to and wait for it. lol
Haha! I'm glad you enjoy it! It's my little pep to keep me going through the filming. ❤️
