Speaking of Mrs. Piggle wiggle, I got it from the library because of your suggestion and it was a game changer for my little boy (5) enjoying read alouds before bed. His older sister has always loved to be read to but he usually complains about it. This book had him laughing so hard and it's the first time I've heard him beg, "Please one more chapter mom?!" My heart is full! Thanks for the suggestion!!

I see you lady. We have all been there many times, its so freeing to hear we aren't alone ❤️

Loved hearing your update! Wow, you really do have a ton of family festive events during March. We have one lighter school day each week, the extra time is very helpful for tackling the weekly "big" household cleaning chores--we also live in a larger home now compared to the apartment we lived in, so I understand the time required for housecleaning being more than we're used to.

I love summer weather and we are in a lot of hot places!!! My kids are loving it but I don’t try to keep too busy as I know we will have good weather on our travels!!! Our school yr has finished but idk if we can take a break before the next school year!!! All my older kids have different math curriculums!!! I found that my kids wiv multiplication issues after they understood it they found division easy!!! I had kids this school year who took a math break after they finished the level and asked for a break!!! Since January we’ve not had a regular schedule and it’s working for us!!! My work is flexible so we need a flexible schedule!!! I use 5 day curriculum and it takes a bit longer if we don’t skip a lesson but if we skip a lesson it’s ok!!! We double up as well!!! Ur mom is right teaching is a full time job!!! My husband homeschools as well as me and our work is not the same days!!! My mum In law says the devil likes to get us busy if he can’t get us in other ways!!! Don’t worry how long organisational projects take as u will get to it!!! Praying for u!!! Ur kids could help u with chores!!!

So I also started my daughter on MwC-K and felt like it was going over her head a bit, so we did Good and Beautiful Math K and got through the first unit. I felt like she has a better grasp with numbers and how they work, so now I’m switching back to MwC and including the corresponding G/B lessons to keep the stories and pictures part of our math. So far this is working out really well! You got this, mama! Even though the years go fast, motherhood (and everything that goes with it) is still a marathon, so definitely pace yourself and enjoy the journey!

The realness is what really helps! Thank you x

This was beautiful said video !! I keep telling my husband “we need one day a week we do nothing”. This was a great reminder of that so thank you!

Mamas are the best! I'm so thankful for my mom as well. I go to her when I need encouragement, and when I need someone to "set me straight." Praying for you moving forward into this restful living.

So true, we all have our struggles! Glad you’re working on some new systems to make things run smoother and take some pressure off you! We can do many things, but not all. ❤ Good reminder for us mamas!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Christine your videos are a breath of fresh air.

I love this and have felt the same way and the Lord is teaching me the same things!! ❤

We found Mrs Piggle Wiggle and just discovered the Missy* continuing stories. They are updated so there aren’t rotary phones and suspenders and things she doesn’t understand 😂

We loved the Mrs. Piggie Wiggle books also! So cute!

I love this! Thank you for sharing! ❤

I relate to you so much on this video. My daughter is 9 and we just started spelling. We are trying out the Sonlight LA and my daughter is really liking it. I didn't realize we got the same Sonlight level as you guys! We just gently started it and my kids LOVE it. And I hear you on the burned out, I definitely have been feeling it

Gosh I relate to you in the sense of not feeling like you can stop as all the juggling balls may fall. I love the idea of having a day for rest as being around people all day isn’t my idea of rest 😅 I might see if I can prioritise nothing once a week. Gosh- I don’t know if I could stop 😅😂

I don’t know if it’s the same price everywhere…. But I’ve been getting my groceries delivered from countdown and if you pay the monthly fee it’s $4 a week! It’s been SO worth it and such a burden lifted
