This is only our fourth year, so listening to you as "a veteran" just confirms the way we are doing things are exactly "perfect" for our family!!! I am very glad I listened to the voice from Our Heavenly Father to let our kids guide this process and to SEE them in all this "teaching". We are very much unschoolers and LIFEschoolers at that and I am thankful we did not waste years on unhappiness and found our groove that much quicker!
Thanks for the video! Encouraging. Go to 4:24 to get the what is not and what is important. Basically there's nothing perfect, stop trying to attain it, there will be struggles (everyone does) and realize things change year to year, and homeschooling is not a one size fits all...every family is different. Curriculum isn't the end all be all. Make sure to pray first. Go to a HS convention.
Thank you for your encouragement and for being that homeschool momma that is real and also shows the challenges and shares what we really need to see. It's so encouraging to know we are not in this alone. God bless you and your family! 🤍
I just want to say thank you for your motivation. I’ve been doing this since Covid homeschooling and it’s been a challenge. There’s so many cons and it can overwhelm us all. I just trusting God thank you for sharing.
Thank you for encouraging. This was my second year homeschooling my middle school boys…. Thank God for great advise as yours. I haven’t had to switch curriculums, we have our block schedule and it gives my boys a sense of stability. Also will be adding Denison math for 8th grade. God bless you!
I got really discouraged sometimes watching these home school videos. Because my children are not super smart. Like the typical home school students are and so we have had to tweak things and sometimes it seems like we see everyone talking about how good their kids are doing and they're going to University, and they're doing this on that and I'm just lucky to have them get thru the day successfully.
I've been homeschooling for 11 years, and I have come to believe that tweaking things is the best way to homeschool, in my experience. Not all kids are alike. My kids are super smart but they really hate school for the most part. Don't beat yourself up, and don't assume they're not smart. After all this time of homeschooling, I'm still trying to figure things out. You'll get there 🙂❤️ Hope you can find the encouragement that you need ❤
I needed this today so much today ! Thank you Jamie!! I absolutely love how real and raw you are!! Homeschooling isn’t a bed of roses all the time. There are some amazing days, but girl there are hard times too!! Thank you for sharing and being you 🤍
Thank you so much for this reminder. I almost teared up listening to this while I'm making dinner. This is our 6th year homeschooling and has been by far the hardest year yet. I've been thinking alot of what you talked about in this video and thinking i must be doing something wrong. All of this to say, I really appreciate this reminder to keep going and do what works for us. ❤
I think we all go through this... I have found the mentality of being more realistic, knowing there isn't a perfect curriculum out there, knowing curriculum may not be the problem... all of this comes with experience and maturity. I have tried to talk to new homeschool moms so many times, and when I mention what I have learned, their eyes glaze over - LOL. I'm not offended by it... it's just something you have to personally live out to really get it. (and YES to Denison!!!!!!! LIFE SAVER!!!!!!!!!!)
Bless you. Needed to hear this. We are a newly RUclips family vlogging channel. My son just finished his apprenticeship with the labourers union. He actually graduates from it tomorrow. You hit so many spots. We are so much alike. I have the happy juice as well with the 3 bottle hormone supplements. Game changer!!! Love from 6breakingloose ❤
I needed to hear your words of encouragement so much! I needed to know of the reality of homeschool that you talked about because we have been on the struggle bus and I felt like it is because of me but it tremendously helps to know that it is just the reality of homeschool and we are normal. Thank you so much!!!!❤❤❤❤
Hey friend! My shirt is actually one of the shirts I made when I had my own business with all kinds of homeschool merch! Maybe I'll bring it back someday?! Haha! ❤️❤️❤️
I almost congratulated you when you said, “This fall I’m going to have a child” but went on to say “who will be attending university” 😭😭 Thought for a second that you were announcing a pregnancy.
Ohhhh my goodness! Hahahaaha! I'm going to have to go back and listen again! 🤪😅 I mean...who knows what this fall will being but THaT. Whew. Would be interesting! Hahahah!

Such great advice Jamie, as always 🧡 I wish Australia did homeschooling conventions like y'all have in the USA ~ I would love to have that experience.
Thank you so much for this refreshing message! Listening while making dinner and it really struck my heart. God bless you and your family ❤️
Sarah, praising God for all the ways He speaks to each of us and encourages us right where we need it. 🥹❤️
Blessings to you and your family, friend!
I just can’t say enough how much I love your channel it’s just what I need sometimes

I agree with you! Thanks for sharing ❤.
Excited to start Denison Math next year for my 8th grader! Never heard of it until you and hoping it's a game changer.
I hope it is as good of fit for your family as it has been for ours! 🎉🙏❤️
