I honestly feel like I could cry right now cause with my kids (3 under 4) I felt like this couldn’t be done. I’m focusing this week on getting my morning routine going so that I’m prepared for morning time! Thank you!! 💗
Please more videos like this! I get so tired of seeing everyone’s perfect homeschool days. I need to see real stuff!!
You made me feel like I can do this! I've watched a lot of morning basket videos and yours was BY FAR my favorite. This gave me so much clarity and comfort!
Thank you so much for making this video! 🥰🥰🥰
Your family looks so comfy and loving on the couch. Lots of activity, yes, but keeping all of them around you. Watching you read and interact with your kiddos... it's the ultimate "I hope my kids remember this ...." type of moment. Good for you!! Thank you for sharing your family time with us.
I needed this video. This is what my homeschool looks like. It's chaos and not at all Pinterest pretty, but it's real. It's so easy to compare yourself to the picture perfect scenario you see on social media and feel like you're failing, but the truth is that's not anyone's reality every day.
You made me feel like I can do this! I have watched a ton of morning basket videos and yours was by FAR my favorite. First day of school tomorrow and this brought me so much clarity and comfort! Thank you!
You can absolutely do it!!! So happy it helped! Cheers to a new year with morning basket ☺️
I loved this video. I love a real glimpse into homeschool. It isn’t always perfect especially with Littles. Great job!
Great video! One of the best so far looking into starting this in our homeschool.
I love that 3 Buzzes were necessary 😂 thank you so much for sharing this! Mine are 6, 4, and 1. Seeing a lot of these videos for ideas and getting intimidated until I saw this video ❤
Thank you for your honesty,very sweet moment ❤️ lol atleast you didn't spill some coffee 😅😅 you have a beautiful heart and family ❤️
This was very realistic and practical advice on how to integrate the morning baskets. I love the honesty in the video. Great job!
Your intro is so relaxing your kids are so cute. I have never heard about a morning basket love this idea! Morning routine are so important!☺️
Thank you! And yes - I cannot function without my morning routine!
I just stumbled upon this video, and it was an answered prayer. Like you, I have been struggling with what Morning Time should "look like," and you have made it so clear and simple. I LOVE how real you stayed. Thank you! Yes, our home is like that just about everyday - not pretty, just real. Thank you for the encouragement to stick it out and make it happen, and the encouragement to start small, even once a week. This has been a great help to me. God bless!
So, so happy you found this helpful! Like I said it took me YEARS to figure out how to do it. Now it’s the anchor of our days ☺️
Thank You for being real.
Bless your heart, you are an amazing mama. I am overwhelmed, just watching your morning basket time. I only have two out of four, I will be homeschooling and they are 8 and 10 so I feel better about doing it now. More power to you mama.
You have no idea how much I needed to see you doing morning baskets. I keep giving up because my kids (4,3,2, and 7 months) aren't just sitting quietly and listening lol. Even if I set up things for them to do. they're little! Their little bodies must move. So Ive been spreading out our reading pretty much throughout the course of the entire day. But I keep wondering -When will I be able to do this???- Watching your little ones move around and squirm and squabble and you just staying steady and handling it was encouraging. Thank you!
Girl I have been where you’ve been & it took me so long to realize I just need to keep going! It will get easier but I promise even through the chaos you are cultivating the sweetest moments & memories ❤️
Girl, I definitely felt this WHOLE video! I have 6 babies and they’re 7, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. You’re doing a great job 🥰
Thankyou for showing this. I like how you kept it real. I really like the idea of aiming to do it just several mornings a week at first. Can I just say You are amazing you handled that morning time so well! What a great mom!
Our mornings aren’t always perfect & this was a great example of that! Thank you so much Stacey! ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Also, that's a beautiful color on you!
Thank you!!! We have been wanting implement morning basket, but I too have lots of Littles and have been overthinking it. This was SO helpful!! ♥️
So glad you found it helpful! 💜
I LOVE the raw and truth. I have tried and felt like a failure many times. So today I started with the peaceful
Press preschool today - I didn’t finish it but it was fun 🤩 I need to make one for my 2 year old too.
I’m late to this video but I loved it so much!! I’ve recently been trying to get my own morning routine down and I know when I’m ready my day goes WAY easier!
This was wonderful! I loved your clip of your Morning time with your kids. I also have 5 children, but they are a little more spaced. We did Morning Baskets before they were called that! We called it Couch Time, and did our Awana verses, a devotional , a read-aloud chapter book, sometimes poetry or Book of Virtues or a seasonal story; half the kids were usually on the couch and the rest sprawled on the floor. Just like you, it was a daily thing and if nothing else got done, I felt we had accomplished something good.
Awww I love this! These mornings are chaotic but it seems like we get so much more accomplished than I actually feel like we do sometimes ☺️
@17:00 it looks like a beautiful time between a mama and her kiddos!! 🥰 Keep up the good work being a blessing to your children (and to us on youtube!)! I have 5 boys so I understand some beautiful chaos 😉
Love Indescribable 💙 Read it with my boys and now reading the second one at dinnertime. They're awesome!
Wow this is by far one of my FAVORITEST homeschooling videos I’ve watched!! You’re great 😍 keep doing you mama!!
Aww thank you so much for that! Appreciate it! 🥰💗
Thank you so much for this video! I started homeschool this year and have felt discouraged because I feel like I’m not doing enough... but seeing your real life and hearing that it’s not always perfect and if all you get is basket done then you feel good honestly made me so emotional! THANK YOU for showing real life and it’s not always a perfectly scheduled day with every subject and elaborate crafts/experiments! 😘 subscribed ❤️
Absolutely! Every day is so different but I know that if we’ve connected and read a book then it’s a successful day! ❤️
I really like your videos, Nikki. I've enjoyed the homeschool videos, especially the 3 things you learned your first year, but I really found this helpful too :)
Aww thank you so much! I appreciate that more than you know! ❤️❤️❤️
This was one of the best videos on Morning Baskets that I’ve seen! I feel confident now going into Kindergarten with my oldest that we can successfully start our mornings!
Oh my gosh thank you so much for the encouragement! I promise if you take a slow start to it & slowly build it will become this beautiful (sometimes chaotic 🤪) time that you will truly treasure! 💕
Someone told me around 2 years ago to read Proverbs according to the day of the month and it was so amazing!
It’s such a small thing but a really big thing in the long run!
I love this you are so right. I find I need to slowly make changes bc if i jump right in it’s just too much. I’m like you I have a 6,5,4&2 year old. This first year has been so overwhelming! I love the proverbs idea!
When I add little things at a time it helps ME more than it helps them so that it’s less overwhelming. We are in the trenches friend! These are not easy years but they are so, so fleeting too! ❤️
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for such wonderful and informational video!! God bless you all. I love the shoe tying def need it!
The shoe tying was so helpful!
i like you u seeem so real u speak so true
Great video!
Thankyou! This is something Ive never been able to pull off myself! These are very helpful tips.
Do you wake your kids up? That is one of my road blocks is my kids love to sleep in and we all move SO SLOWLY in the morning.
I don’t! My kids are definitely sleepers as well. They tend to usually wake up between 8-830am. So I just let them sleep! And we usually get to morning basket around 9-930 🤗
So encouraging 😌❤ thanks!
Thanks for watching! 💛
I really enjoyed this video. You gave me the confidence to just start. I always forget to give oneself g r a c e.
This might be a funny question but when do y’all get dressed and ready for the day? After morning basket? I’ve noticed if we don’t “get ready” right after breakfast I can’t get them out of their pajamas!
Great video! My problem is walking myself up in the morning! Usually my son is up before me and ugh I feel like I have to set an alarm to be able to get myself up before him. On days I wake up before him I feel great! On days he wakes up before me I feel defeated, he’s 5, he goes downstairs and turns the tv on and eats a snack. I hate t.v.!!! I really need to get it together🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I also hate tv 😂 that has been my struggle lately too. After having my last baby I have struggled to get into a consistent morning routine again 😭
But let me tell you it totally makes All the difference!
@@sixheartshomeschool but guess what!? Ever since watching your video we have had a week of morning basket with ease!! I’m already feeling like I can add more it’s been great. What an encouraging video this was… “just start” lol that’s all I needed to do 🤦🏼♀️
Yes!! That’s amazing! 🙌🏻❤️
I love Indescribable. Did you know there's a second book?
Yes! Are you referring to “how great is our god”? I have it on our wish list 🥰
@@sixheartshomeschool yes. We love it! I love how he takes science and God and wraps them together. Great for science loving kids
That’s definitely been their favorite part about it! I love that too!
I know you are limited on time but Louie Giglio has a RUclips video called Indescribable and WOW! I watch it with my 9 year old
Whaaaatt!! Didn’t know that and will definitely be checking that out!
