Thanks for sharing about the upper levels of Denison! It's hard to find reviews on them. Would love to see more updates on them in the future! We just received Denison Pre-Algebra in the mail last weekend and it has been so great for my kiddo.

Your son playing in your hair was so precious to me. ❤

You always bring a smile to my face!

Thank you for sharing. I love how open this homeschool community is in sharing peeks inside each other's homeschool. We are slowly getting into our flow, but hopefully, we will hit our sweet spot with our schedule and rhythm for the year. I hope to share our update here on RUclips soon.

Thank you for sharing your math journey. We used Masterbooks for math as well till 6th grade. I felt that it did not have enough review, but my kiddo enjoyed it. He was just not retaining it anymore. So we did 7th grade as a review year and focused on our multiplication tables and fractions. Then we just jumped into Denison Math. So far it is going great. We are almost done with Chapter 5 and he has not given me any push back and he is retaining the information. So that makes it a win so far. 👍

Very helpful! Thank you so much!

Great choices!! We used the cursive speeches and writings too. Loved the resource. Looking forward to hearing how the resources go.

Number 4🎉

Where did you actually get the books?

Where is your son doing his culinary?

I loved the visual titles 😍! I am so excited that you are using Journey Academy for science and I can't wait for your reviews. We went with Science Shepherd again this year because my kids love it. But I always have that stash in my back pocket for future years. As for PE, some (1/5) of my kids are Cyber Schooled and they give one quarter (.25) of P.E& Health a year. So on their transcripts it state PE & Health .25 all four years to total 1 credit. Question, how long is your discount code for FORM? I am considering it for next year and how it will last until then 🤷‍♀😊.

We must shop in the same circle bc I bought FORM last year when there was a promo with Teach Them Diligently - LOL! I plan to use it next year.

I'm looking into Journey's Biology for my daughter next year. I'd love to hear how it goes for your kiddos!

My son is a textbook kid and loves Notgrass for ALL history! The geography is good too! My daughter is NOT a textbook kid, so I'm researching what her world history will look like next year.

My 9th grader is doing Denison Algebra 1, and my 11th grader is using Algebra 2. It's been GREAT!

Thank you for doing this…

Best wishes on your new homeschooling year. 🌻

Hey, is there a way to just get the memory work for CC without being apart of CC. I'm interested in the grammar rules and multiplication memory.

I'm wondering if the new IEW College Writing Course is actually Elegant Essays revamp???

Thank you for posting this video! It helps me so much!

I think people are sleeping on teaching textbooks we love teaching textbooks for Math.

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

That's bc Well Trained Mind has a totally separate product for writing.

Thank you for this video. I'm in middle Georgia and considering joining groups. I have been slow due to diversity in the area. I am signed up for a book club meet up this month and praying all goes well. My son is 9 and this is our 4 th year home schooling.

I need to stop watching gor a while. I keep adding to my list! 😂 (see you next video!)

Thank you for this!! It's so helpful. I love To Kill a Mockingbird. I recently reread it on my own and plan to have my 9th grader read it this year. I highly recommend looking into Guest Hollow for American History and biology literature ideas.

Thanks for sharing! I'd love to see inside the CLE English 1 courses you picked up.

I really enjoyed watching your haul and your hearing your thought process behind everything! I hate to complain at all but the background music makes it hard to focus on you.

I have been thinking about getting Wordly Wise.

Ah-vahn-CEH-mos ❤😆 loving your picks so far

Thank you for sharing. Those literary guidebooks look interesting. Logic Links is a fun game.

Frances, my feelings are so hurt! I watched to the end and you gave out fake love 🤣🤣🤣🤣.But the haul was so good and I am excited to see your curriculum picks. I think I can guess what you are doing for science this year. Also, can you do a flip through of CLE English 1 , IEW Essay book and the literary books, please and thank you! Lastly, what is the post-it schedule?? P.S: I wasn't ready for the music in the video...haha!

I am so glad to see that I am not the only person that use different planners!

Love the video for each subject idea

I didn't know they had a planner. It looks lovely! 🥰🥰

Do there is no attendance page?

This was so timely! My "students" forgot to buy me a planner for teacher's appreciation week...lol! I am using the planner you did a flip through on IG. It worked but I still needed my 5 STAR spiral notebook for brain dumps and loose papers. I like the Schoolnest planners but just wish they had pockets. One suggestion I took from Sabrina @thesimplehappylife was to use one section of the planner as daily (journal) notes. Like my kids behavior, what made me smile, or simple prayers. It helped so when Fornite Friday came around and we forgot that on Tuesday I said no games. I could easily look back and see what happen...haha!

Can barely hear you.

Thank you for these great ideas!

Love this video Frances! Thank you for sharing your heart. I am learning how to love on me before the husband and kids and it is a journey for sure!

Long response. Sorry! 🥴 "Mom are you still getting dressed?" 😂 I love it. I take forever to get dressed too! Something that I've been doing is while my 3 youngest are napping and my older 2 are having quite time, I started taking a bubble bath. I used to use that time to work on math and reading, and do house work (and we still do) but once or twice a week, that's my time. I get 2-3 hours to bathe, do my nails, read, ect. The house work is always going to be there.🤷🏾‍♀️ I had a hypertension episode early fall and I just can't live like that. I don't want to be a source of trama for my kiddos nor do I like being a "sick" mom. My hypertension is stress induced so finding time to relax was a must. I take P5P for energy. It's better than a cup of coffee. 😅 Plus I had to stop drinking coffee because it raises my blood pressure. You are doing a great job with your boys and I can tell they love you a lot! Try making a meal plan for the month. So that next year so you have to do is pull out last year's meal plan and repeat. 😅 Something else that I do is a double what I cook. That way we can have left overs. I cook every other day to give me a break with dinner. My kiddos make their own lunch and breakfast one day out of the week so I'm only cooking 3 lunch and breakfast 3 days out of the week and my hubby usually takes the weekends. Also, be specific about what you need and make a schedule for the boys. You can totally have them be chef for the day so that they have 3 days out of the week and you have 4...... Or hubby take day of that's his jam. I totally feel you about the wife thing. I don't have it all figured out but my hubby comes first. When he comes home, I stop what I'm doing and greet him with affection/his love language. He comes first over everything. If he comes home for lunch, we're fixing what he wants to eat and taking an extended lunch. 😉😉 I actually love my husband, enjoy spending time with him, and I'm just so thankful he provides for us so that I can be home to homeschool our kiddos. I'm gonna make time for him. You got this. I'm looking forward to an update on how your juggling it all. It's something we don't talk about in the homeschool community. You've inspired me to make a video about it myself. 🤗

So I felt like this was a “get to know Frances” video and I loved it ❤! We are both in the ponytail gang okay, but I do treat myself every other month to a different hairstyle. My biggest fail that God is helping me fix is letting my five kids dictate our day. We are aggressively getting back into routines and schedules. Shh! I hide in my room and pretend to get dress as well! I also “leave” my pocketbook in the car so I can get a break 😂.

When I hit my 40s, my health really went kind of nuts. I started becoming deficient in B12, which hits your energy HARD! I take B12 supplements that help tremendously. We checked my levels with a blood test... my doctor was helpful in getting a full blood panel to figure that stuff out. A lot happens to us in our 40s as women... it's tough!

We love CLE Reading! This year we’ve used Grade 1 Learning to Read and Grade 1 Reading, 2nd, 5th and 6th. I am looking forward to using the next levels up in the fall.

I would like to secure science notebooking pages.

Thanks puppy for sharing.
