Thanks for sharing. This was so encouraging

I loved watching this! Thank you for sharing. It gives me hope

This is such a blessing for those of us who use AO, but also it can be an encouragement for all home educators. You and your daughter are delightful!

Great video, thank you! I have a Y3, Y5, Y7, and Y9 -- do you think it is okay to include the Y3 in Plutarch or would you keep him separate with Beesly?

Thank you so much for this! I didn’t even consider there wouldn’t be a space for the younger ones to add onto a family timeline! I also really love, “let it be theirs!” 😊

When you say “read through the books” do you skin them? Read through them cover to cover? What if you have multiple children in different years?

Curious in what ways the schedule changes for each child in years 5-12? Do you mean in the AO booklist or in the other subjects?

This is such a helpful video, even after using AO for a few years I still gleaned some gems

Revisiting your videos again as we prep for our year. I’m so curious how things have been going for your kids since this video was posted 3 years ago. My husband and I both work in healthcare. I am sure your daughter is going to be an excellent clinician ❤

How do you submit your work at the end of the year? This was our first full year using Ambleside. With so many books per subject, how do you word that in your end of year grade submission?

As a mom with young ones just starting our HS journey, I enjoyed this so much. I could see the care and loved that you put into your daughter's education. I hope my children will be as wise to say that they want to bring honour to God through their work as your daughter did.

Thank you so much for this! It’s lovely to have someone with such experience using Ambleside Online, give their tips. I have been thinking and reading about so many new things with this curriculum, that as a newbie homeschooler, I wanted to just give up and get a way more open and go, consumer friendly curriculum. But I know I would regret it long term, so again, thank you. Steps I can do 👌 xx

Thank you! Could you do a video on planning and implementing multiple children’s AO year? I’m looking at 3 kids in my homeschool next year. How do you have time for all of the different readings? Thanks!

Most helpful, thank you!

I really appreciate your interviews. I came across your daughter #2 interviews first, which m then led me to this. All three of you are blessed and beautiful people and so encouraging to us as we are just starting AO. I have only one and he is doing Y1 even though he is really in third grade because I just couldn’t pass up the history and some of the beautiful options (at some point I need to figure out how to catch that up!) It’s so refreshing to hear that is enough. Even though I am confident in Charlotte Mason and the lovely ladies who created AO it is nice to see and hear the anecdotal evidence and stories, and just to see how well composed, educated, and poised your daughters have become. Thank you!

How lovely Melissa! Very encouraging to me. Especially after a trying day with a 1 yo, 4 yo, Y1 and Y5. Thank you for sharing your life with us ❤

Love this interview. So great to see the fruit of homeschooling.

Love this!😊

Thanks for your videos. I’m enjoying them. Just subscribed. Timeline has always been an “extra” for our family but I really want it to come to life and be fun. We have 4 daughters. Love raising girls. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and it would be fun to be friends and connect here 😊

This was so valuable and encouraging. You must be so proud of Amelia! She has such a bright future ahead of her. Those tips about the ACT and dual-enrollment in later years are so helpful. I've just discovered AO after homeschooling for a couple of years. This year I will transitioning my 3 elementary children into it. I'm so excited to start! I have been spending every spare moment on lesson plans.

This was such a very helpful video, thank you. I have appreciated your videos so much this spring/summer as we have been preparing to start using Ambleside for the fist time with Y1, Y3 & Y5. Your placement video was very helpful to me as well. Thank you again for taking the time to make these videos and share what you have learned ♥️

That was wonderful!! Thank you for sharing!

This was a great video. Thank you for making it, it helped me. You are lovely to listen to. Blessings to you!

Thank you so much for sharing this video <3 My oldest just turned five and the end still brought tears to my eyes. It looks like you've raised your daughter well and that she'll thrive as she moves into new seasons of life. That what it's all about, right? What a blessing.

You are so encouraging! Thank you!

What grammar curriculum did you like and use for year 6

Hello, quick question did you supplement with any other type of curriculum while using Ambleside? Let say for like language arts?

About how long did your students spend reading lessons per day in the middle years? Say year 5-7?

Thank you for sharing these interviews. My oldest is only in Y4, but I love hearing from your graduates. What lovely young women your daughters are!

May be hard to explain to kids but its honestly all about what level they are in not based on age (age is just a guide). Not all kiddos of the same age will do the same year. So 2 kids age wise a year apart maybe 2 years apart may be able to do the same year depending on their ability.

So helpful! Thank you.

This was really helpful and reassuring, especially when you explained how nature study creates a solid foundation for science later on. Thank you!

Hi, I had a quick question. Did you keep a log book? Or could you share any tips for keeping notebooks? I like to keep things simple but I also want to make sure I am keeping good records. Again thank you for your videos, hope you continue growing your channel.

This was so helpful. Love your videos.

Super helpful video, thank you!

Thank you for the wealth of information in your videos! I’ve been wanting to begin AO with my children but I haven’t made the leap! My daughter and I are going through Stories from the History of Rome by Mrs. Beesly, a very slow intro to Plutarch. I’ve been a bit nervous about having my ten year old read Plutarch on her own. She loves reading historical books with me and honestly she just loves doing one to one schooling with me but I have 5 children and one is a toddler 😂 which is why I haven’t gone full AO yet. You staying that you read it out loud made me realize that I can modify AO and that my child doesn’t have to be reading all this on her own at ten years old. There may be children who can and I believe she could read it herself but I know she wouldn’t like it and it could possibly create some anxiety on her over it. I want to give them a solid CM education but I’m trying to find the balance! Anyway Ty! It was a lightbulb moment realizing I don’t have to do exactly what it says!!!

Love this! I am going to rewatch it and take some notes, great ideas.

Hello, Your videos are great! Quick question, how did you best connect with other families in your area?

This was incredibly helpful! This is my first year with Ambleside and I have been so overwhelmed with the timeline. I haven't even started it this year! YIKES! I even have a timeline in my amazon cart to help but after watching your video this has helped scale back my anxiety about this project and how to go about it! Thank you so much for being so practical and reminding me it's all about the process NOT the product! I will definitely be subscribing to your channel!

Thank you sister. 😊

Hi! When you mentioned that your daughter used illustrations from Abraham Lincoln world, are those her own drawings that you scaled down and printed or from the book?

This video has blessed me! Thank you!! I hope to see more soon!

Are you able to make a video on habit training?

I have a question. I have my 7 yr old and 5 year old in YR1. We just started this past school year and we are all enjoying it. My 5 year is really on top of narratives and listening to the stories. But I worry that my 2nd grade being in year one will not be able to complete YR12. She is still learning how to read independently (dyslexic) but I’m wondering if when she reads more independently I can skip a year. What do you think?

Thank you so much for sharing these! It’s so good to see children who are graduating using Ambleside online. I’ve been researching so much. Also cool that you’re in Alabama! So are we. ♥️

I hope you can make more videos!

I loved both of your graduate videos! It helps a lot when deciding if AO would be a good option or not. I was wondering if you kept a record of anything for their homeschool? I am starting homeschooling in Alabama and wondering the best way to keep records while using AO. Thanks for the videos!

With GWW the read daily, do you have your kids make an entry for every reading in those books or maybe choose one or two readings from each week?

I’ve been considering starting my Year 1 daughter on Math U See, so it’s encouraging to hear you had a good experience with it!

Hi Melissa, thank you so much for your helpful videos. I have 4 children coming from a textbook background. They are 4th, 5th, 8th, and 9th. Should I do groups with Form 2 and Form 3? Or should they do individual years? I'm feeling a little unsure about how to approach this.
