My 1 year old was watching this with me and whenever you would say "I'm sorry" she would say "it's okay"! It was a cute 🥰 Glad the move well and everyone is where they need to be and safe!
I love that you said you live the Christian Life it's not just studying the Bible it's a total transformation of our way of life 🙏 may God bless you and your family 🙏😍
I feel so much nostalgia. All my homeschoolers are grown but I loved picking curriculum. It was always so exciting. I miss that part. I also miss teaching the little ones.
Love your new setup!! Natural light is so nice to have in the home! 🌅 The apologetics curriculum sounds interesting. Would you be able to do a flip through video for us?!? 🙏🏽 Thanks girl! ❤️
Your timing is fine. I understand the desire people may have to watch curriculum videos before they purchase them for the following year, but honestly, it makes so much more sense to make a curriculum video *after* it has been used a little while, discussing the reality of it vs the expectations of it. I can get high expectations from the curriculum's own promotional materials. I want to know how people feel about it on the blah days, lol.
The apologetics curriculum sounds so good. I definitely need it. I would love to see a flip through of that one!! I’ve been considering adding Fix it Grammar for my 3rd grade daughter as well. Glad you made it to your new home and wonderful that you already have a community there. As always love your video and joyful personality.
Amazing! I also live in AZ my daughter is almost two and my other daughter Is only 11 months behind her so I can’t wait to start homeschooling them!! ❤️
Watched/listened to the whole thing! I’ve been a subscriber for a couple years and you are just such a gem! I love the heart you have for your kids and sharing Jesus with them. It encourages me SO much! 🥰 Blessings to you as you continue to settle in to your new home. ❤️
Woohoo! You’re in Arizona! Welcome back 🎉❤ I’m in Pinetop 🌲🌲🌲 The early mornings and nights are starting to get a little chill already and we started our fireplace going. Makes the house so cozy!
I have missed you! So glad to see you're back💗 and yes please I would love to see how you set up your planner, last year I loved your suggestion of the neutral planner ( I even got the same happy planner you had) so sad to see her shop is gone. Glad the move went well, I look forward to more awesome videos, here's to another fantastic homeschool year 💞
Hi! I’m a mama of a 2 1/2 yo, I’m new to homeschooling & I just found your channel and I’ve been watching all of your videos and you’ve helped me so much! So happy you posted, thank you!
Hi Angie! OH gosh! I know! I actually decided NOT to spend anything for homeschool this year. We pretty much have everything we need. (I did miss the shopping though. 😉)
I can totally relate to the whole crazy moving thing. We’re a couple weeks away from our Cali to Florida pcs and we’re taking a little break from school until after we’re settled. Excited to see your new schoolroom set up 😍
Oh I am so excited for this video! You were just on my mind and I was thinking how I missed your videos. So glad to see you back! We are also planning a move to Arizona within the next year. I'm excited to see your transition with homeschool!
@@PursuingPeace we are looking at possibly buckeye. We have family in Scottsdale as well as California so we want to stay on the western side of the state if possible. But we plan on renting at first until we find the perfect area we like. We are coming from the PNW so I am hoping to find some greenery if possible lol
We're getting a late start this year as well after a long move (From FL to UT); never making that drive again lol. This will be our first week finally!
Omgosh!!!! I’m from AZ!! Moved to PA 4 months ago and my daughter and I JUST started CC here! Our first community day was this past Friday!! AND we are using the good and the beautiful level K!! Lol Though PA is green and beautiful, I do miss AZ sunsets!! It is so beautiful there too!! I just found your channel!! So cool! God bless!
We moved from Wa to Va this summer too. Also military family here 💙 we just finished our math curriculum last week lol. So excited to see your videos 😊 I’m gonna check out fix it grammar. Thanks for the recommendation.
I love your videos and how your family homeschools. What do you do for teaching the Bible ? I have bought some devotionals and I have a completely illustrated Bible. But I want a simple curriculum with a simple lesson a day and that is not boring and applicable to life. I saw Master Books How Faith Grows and it looks good. I am curious to see what you use
Hi Dina. Would you please tell me more about how do you balance teaching all subjects? Have you done a video explaining this. If so would you point me to it. Thank you! Gabriella from Iowa
Hi Gabriella! I have a few videos on our Homeschool Routine. It changes throughout the years as my kids get older, but those videos might give you a better idea of how we balance everything.
Love this so much!! Thank you! Do you do anything specific/separate for spelling outside of TGATB or do you find the course books and handwriting to be enough?
Hi Angela! I don't do anything extra. I don't know if it's enough, but I haven't found anything I like. I'm hoping the new editions are better in the spelling department. 😉
We transitioned from TGATB to Memoria Press and I’m very happy with their spelling. From 1-3 they have their own spelling and then they move to another program; but I’ve heard a lot of folks love that spelling too.
Love to see you made it to your new location! I might of missed it but I didn't hear you mention history or science. Are you utilizing TGTB for those as well?
Hi Whitney! I'm actually working on another video for the family subjects (history, science, etc.). I tried to put them all in this video but it was gonna be WAY too long! Lol!
Girl! Did you sign up for the ESA voucher? I was skeptical but...at least for now there are no strings attached (no testing, no evaluations, and you can buy Christian curriculum). If any of that changes I will probably opt out. But for now it sounds good 🎉
Yes. My kids were small at that point so we only schooled for about an hour or so. But my break came when I went to small groups at church. Do you have a church?
Do you have the teachers guide for the fix it grammar? I'm thinking my 3rd grade guy might benefit from this too but I'm wondering if I need both or if i could just get the student guide?
It’s almost October for me.. my son is 3 and turns 4 in October! Is it to late to purchase the preschool book from the good and the beautiful and start it with him? I’ll want to do kindergarten with him next year! Homeschool
I’m a first time mama with kindergarten our child was a bit behind with alphabet and stuff like that from not doing k4 so I’m not sure like what he’s suppose to be doing or how long he’s suppose to be doing school for… we are a low income family with not the money to get all these fancy material I’m literally using dollar store material is that okay? Thanks:) idk if you will see this
Man! I wish you could’ve moved to Florida! I loved the new info on the Foundations Worldview! This is definitely something I’d like to look into for my girls.
You’re still doing Classical Conversations, correct? I have the curriculum for our 1st grader but am so lost! We had a more traditional homeschool kindergarten with a separate workbook for each subject, but I just don’t grasp the CC concept and never feel like I’ve done “enough.” Do you have a video of a a first grade school day with CC? We’ve missed the 1st 2 weeks of community due to a family emergency with my Mom, and I’m intimidated now to even go because I feel like I am not confident with this at all.
Hi Anne! Yes we are! Oh I'm so sorry you're feeling overwhelmed. I totally get it! Have you checked out the Sandbox Ezine on CC Connected?? It gives you a better idea of how to teach this through out the week. But right now....I would only focus on doing the memory work and reading books around the subjects. That's really all you need at this level. Check out our Morning Basket video....I go through and show how we do memory work on a daily basis. I pray this helps! ruclips.net/video/l1gjmWYA10Y/видео.html
@@PursuingPeace God bless you, and I’ll watch that video right away. I’m a Grandmom who’s adopted and raising a little granddaughter (we lost my daughter 2+ years ago). I’m so appalled by what public school has become, and the Lord just spoke in my spirit to homeschool; He gave me a great conviction about it. I’m hoping we can make up for these 2 weeks quickly. You are such a gentle sweetheart and I’m so thankful I found your channel. Thank you, and may God bless you and keep you & yours. ✝️
@@annemurphy9339 Hi Anne! My husband’s grandmother did the same for him. She adopted him at 2 years old and now over three decades later he’s mindful of staying close to her. Our four young children love their Nana incredibly and visit her often. I commend you for taking on such a worthwhile mission as raising your granddaughter. I pray the Lord gives you wisdom and comfort knowing that He’s with you every step of the way. You are blessed exponentially!

Can I just say… every time a new video of yours comes up, it brings a smile to my face 💜💜💜
Aw! You're sweet my friend! ❤️ I've been loving your videos lately too. 😁
I haven’t finished the video and I just wanted to say you are a breathe of fresh air.
Oh praise God for His work in me. ❤❤❤
So glad you are back on RUclips! Congrats on your move!
Love your new setup!! Natural light is so nice to have in the home! 🌅

It's only by His strength! ❤❤❤

I’m in AZ as well, just wanted to say WELCOME! 😁 hope you’re staying cool!
So glad you're back!! I missed your videos. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Glad to see you back. Was hoping for one of your epic back to homeschool hauls! 😁
Hi Angie! OH gosh! I know! I actually decided NOT to spend anything for homeschool this year. We pretty much have everything we need. (I did miss the shopping though. 😉)
Can you do an updated day in the life with your current routine with the ages and levels you have now?
Yes! Thank you for the reminder! I wanted to do that and had forgotten about it. ❤
I can totally relate to the whole crazy moving thing. We’re a couple weeks away from our Cali to Florida pcs and we’re taking a little break from school until after we’re settled. Excited to see your new schoolroom set up 😍
Yay, you are back! Im sooooo happy! 👏🏼
Hi Grace! How are you doing?
I've missed you! Bless you for continuing through the interruptions and sharing those bloopers. 😁
LOL! There were so many interruptions I couldn't edit then ALL out! LOL!
Love it!! Yes, can you do a flip through on Apologetics.
Will do! ❤
Thanks for making this video I took notes and it had helped me
Oh I'm so happy it helped! ❤️
AMAZING INFORMATION , WELCOME BACK LOVE
Thank you! ❤❤❤
Practice makes progress! I love that!
I’m in Arizona too!!! I wonder if we’re close. I wish we knew more homeschoolers in our area.
Yahoo!!!!!! Glad you are back! ❤❤❤❤
Hi Shai! Thank you! I pray you're doing well! ❤
WELCOME BACK, DINA. I'm Muslim, but my kids and I enjoy your contents and your kind spirit. So 🥰🥰🥰🥰 from one believer to another
Hi Carine! Thank you for the encouragement! ❤❤❤
Watched the whole video because you're fun to hang out with while folding laundry. Lol! Also, yes, I had over 45 minutes of clothes to fold. 🤣
Lololol!!!!! Oh mama! I'm right there with ya in the mountain of laundry! I'm glad I can keep you company. ❤️
Would love a flip through of LA level 2
I would love to see a flip through/ review for the new Level 2 Language Arts!
Oh I am so excited for this video! You were just on my mind and I was thinking how I missed your videos. So glad to see you back! We are also planning a move to Arizona within the next year. I'm excited to see your transition with homeschool!
Oh how exciting! What part of Arizona?
@@PursuingPeace we are looking at possibly buckeye. We have family in Scottsdale as well as California so we want to stay on the western side of the state if possible.

So excited to hear you were stationed in AZ! We live in San Tan Valley AZ! Homeschool mama to 4!
Oh cool! We live further south, but I was up in Casa Grande for a CC Practicum last month. 😀
Great Dictionary option
I have the same age kids. I’m going to get the fix it grammar also!!
I bought that dictionary from your link. We use Nose Tree too and love this way to work on vocabulary!
Hi Erica! Oh great! Yeah....it's so simple and doable one sentence at a time! ❤
Have a super year everyone!!
I wish I had your perspective on water damaged books. Any damage to a book is my nemesis! Haha
Hello!! Missed your videos! Can you please share what’s in your morning basket for this school year 🙂
That video is in the works! 😉
We moved from Wa to Va this summer too. Also military family here 💙 we just finished our math curriculum last week lol. So excited to see your videos 😊 I’m gonna check out fix it grammar. Thanks for the recommendation.
Oh fun! Those cross country trips are an adventure huh? :)
Please do a video on foundation worldview! Your videos are great 😊 God bless you and your family.
Will do! ❤

We're way down south. About an hour south of Tucson. ❤

LOL! She's never said that before...it was so funny! WOW! Thank you for watching the whole thing! I could barely even do it! HA!
Love to see you made it to your new location! I might of missed it but I didn't hear you mention history or science. Are you utilizing TGTB for those as well?
Hi Whitney! I'm actually working on another video for the family subjects (history, science, etc.). I tried to put them all in this video but it was gonna be WAY too long! Lol!
Can't wait to see. It has really been a struggle for us to find a good fit for history.

@@PursuingPeace 🎉 woohoo!!!
Omg! You live in AZ now? Awesome!
Yep! We love it so far! :)
Have you homeschooled through deployments yet? How do you get a break 😩
Yes. My kids were small at that point so we only schooled for about an hour or so. But my break came when I went to small groups at church. Do you have a church?
Thanks for sharing!
What are some of the books you like to read out loud to your preschooler?
All kinds of picture books! We just read through a Harry the Dirty Dog treasury book. Honestly....any picture book is wonderful at this age. :)
Do you have the teachers guide for the fix it grammar? I'm thinking my 3rd grade guy might benefit from this too but I'm wondering if I need both or if i could just get the student guide?
I do. I've had to look at it a couple of times. Not much... But it has some good info in there.
Do you get through all your workbooks ? We still finishing couple more language / arts
Sometimes. This year we're still finishing up some LA and Math from last year. ❤
It’s almost October for me.. my son is 3 and turns 4 in October! Is it to late to purchase the preschool book from the good and the beautiful and start it with him?
I’ll want to do kindergarten with him next year! Homeschool
Not at all Lisa! The preschool book is so gentle and can definitely be done in less than a full school year. 😁❤️
