I've had those years when it was bare minimum and just survival.... homeschool is a cycle, which I know you already know. Some years we can do more, some years we have to do less... I just love we all have that flexibility :)

My 17 year old son read and loved this book-- Passport to Heaven

Hi Jaymie, I’m a new subscriber , but I’ve known of your channel for years. But recently, your videos have been so on point for my season of life. I’m aligned with so much of what you share. Thank you for being you, and doing it the way God has called you and your family to do it. That’s one of the things that ministers to me about your videos. When I need a reminder to run in my own lane, I go back and watch your old videos (new to me). God bless you! I also have 3 boys ages 6-9 and a little girl who is 4. So much of what you share is really helpful to my homeschool since formally, it’s mostly boys right now :) it will be interesting if things feel different when my daughter is more involved.

My husband, who never liked to read, liked Tuckett's Travels. I'm not sure who the author is but he reads it aloud to our boys and they all enjoy it. It's adventurous but I can't tell you much more than that as it's their thing and I haven't listened much.

My 14 year old son just read God's Smuggler, he really enjoyed it so I read it also, it really was a great story! I just found your channel and look forward to hearing your grade 6 plans, my youngest is going into 6th grade and my oldest is also becoming an electrician and my 14 year old is starting Denison math next school year 😊

I’m super excited to hear about your school plans for your 6th grader.

G.A. Henty is a very exciting author of historical fiction books. I do often read his books out loud because I like to edit as I go. They are very accurate and sometimes a little gruesome. But extremely engaging for boys (and for my girls as well), describing battles and struggles of a young hero. He wrote a long time ago so the books might even be in the public domain.

Wow, discoverer your channel today and have been binging - so helpful and exactly what I needed to hear as we prepare for 8th grade. How do you incorporate unit studies without overloading the family schedule? How do you choose a unit? Decision fatigue is one of the hardest things as I homeschool. How did you find the laser/3D cutting opportunity as well? Bless you!

I use Homeschool Planet for my planner, but I STILL ordered the Not Consumed Homeschool Planner bc of the thoughtfulness that goes along with her planner! I realized I needed that to stay focused and grounded bc it's not just about the assignments.... it's so much more than that! So, I'm excited to use it for the first time this coming year!

@jennajadeg7010 Ай бұрын

The Holy War was recommended to read for boys, and History Smashers or Hazardous Tales. Can’t wait to hear what you plan for next year! I’m here for it. It’s exciting lol

Girl! We are old school, too! 😎 Top load all the way! It is a bit runny, but a little bit goes a long way! Even in our old school, top load washers. 🤩

I love that you're embracing how God created boys/young men to work. You are training them well to be providers. My son has that drive as well, and he's just 9. Also, we LOVE Farmer Boy, honestly the entire LHOTP series, we finished up The Long Winter in our school year. We will definitely read that one again in the future. Sign of The Beaver was a favorite with my son, a classic and easy read that would be a fun unit study also.

My 12 year old son has loved the “Chronicles of Narnia” series, Chuck Black’s “The Knights of Arrethtrae” series and “The Terrestria Chronicles” by Ed Dunlop.

I’ve used those laundry products for 6 years now, it’s the best! I’m sensitive to fragrances and this works so well for me. Light, fresh smell, but it’s not overpowering in any way.

It's so fun to see how everyone does homeschool differently! My kids and I would all rather stick our hands in a meat grinder than do a read aloud 🤣 Here everyone powers through math and language arts, the older ones read their own chapters in history and science and we move on with our lives as fast as we can. 😅 But it's still nice to hear what others do and pick and choose things from different styles!

@user-no1kl5ky9q Ай бұрын

Sorry if these have already been suggested-we’re in the middle of moving and renovating as well! 😆🤪 Andrew Peterson- Wingfeather Saga, Franklin Dixon-Hardy Boys series, Ted Dekker-And They Found Dragons series, Shirer-Prince Warriors, Dekker-Dream Traveler’s Quests, S.D. Smith-Green Ember, Hutchins-Sugar Creek Gang 😬

I am going to have my son read rifle.. Pretty sure that's the name. A guy went around the country to speak to World war 2 vets to hear their stories than they sign a world war 2. Rifle. The idea of the story just sounds amazing to me

Hi! My boys all time favorite book was Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan. We listened to it on Audible and the narrators are great!

@fab5bailey369 Ай бұрын

Bob Schultz books are amazing, we read them out of order but Boyhood and Beyond was our favorite! We studied Ancient History this year and my boys loved The Hittite Warrior and Bronze Bow. They also recommend all the YWAM missionary boys even the ones about women...haha! Thanks for the laundry recommendation, but what are your thoughts on the ECOS brand?

@SimplyLivingIt Ай бұрын

Oh thank you for all the recommendations! I apprecaite you taking the time to share those with me! The Ecos brand is what I used to use, and the smell didn't last for our family. 🤷‍♀️
