No matter how much we declutter... Family of 7 (3 teens/preteens), 1100 sq ft apartment, homeschoolers.... Never can keep up on cleaning and tidying.

Welcome back. So nice to see a video pop up.

What are the ages of your kids?

love you so much :)

Hi Trish, thank you for sharing...are the websites still available where you are because in the UK it's showing as 'Thank you & farewell! Blessed Herbs is closing our doors for good'.

By far the best video I've seen from a homeschooling mom. Love it!

This stuff is a a lifesaver

It's expensive. If you have multiple children it's very expensive.

I so agree with you. Watching your videos is like visiting with an old friend who's also been through it all. We lost my MIL in 2020, than my husband's only uncle in 2022 then my FIL a year ago. I feel like we've been on autopilot for at least a year, if not 4. I finally told our coop we're taking next year off, and I felt this HUGE weight lift iff of me. My kids are so excited about next year too, which I didn't anticipate!! Hugs. I totally agree with you. We have used ACE and I have felt guilt because using that made our lives NOT revolve around homeschool.

Trish when you have a sec.... PAAALEASE consider making a vid...or maybe even a series of vids... on ALL things 4H / FFA for Homeschoolers.....

Love this ❤

I’ve used ACE 4 years and it seems this year he’s burning out from it. So I am going to try CLE next year. I tested him on the level for CLE and he tested to be going into level 4 where we’ve been doing 4th level ACE. We won’t get finished this year in ACE either.

I have watched your channel for many years and love your coffee chats and the updates you do on your life as a stay at home mom/wife it’s nice to know there are other moms just going though the same things as me.

You're a great Mom for doing this for your family.

How many lessons are there in the youngest workbook?

a mobile home value will drop like a stone ..the home itself

Hugs

Gurllll!!! Nice to see you again!!! You say so many things that I'm just over here thinking/living out. 😂 Thanks for the video!

Good to see you!!!

I kept telling people that i was struggling with bad day dreaming I couldnt explain it Then a random youtube short (i dont watch mental health videos) talked about disassociation and immediately wanted to cry tears of joy! I had a word to describe how i feel

Good to see you! I can totally relate, as perimenopause h*ll has sent my ADD into overdrive and I'm exhausted! I was diagnosed at 17 and have never been on meds, but I might finally need them over 30 years later.

What’s the name of your medication? Self diagnosed adult ADD/gifted here. Good times 😆

Watching on replay.

Has power homeschool been a good fit for your adhd kids? We are considering that for next year. Also just thought I would share, Dana K White's book and podcast has really helped me. It's crazy how much stress relief comes from throwing junk away 😂

My ADD has been ridiculous the last 2 months! Early spring fever? 😵‍💫🤯

Good morning.

As always....greatly appreciate your updates Trish...😍💞Maybe go ahead and post that vid on how you were going to implement curricula anyway. It may quite possibly end up helping others in their home education endeavors. PS: 🙏🙏 Praying with you all... lifting both your Mum & Katie up in Jesus name...

Great to see you again!!

“I need them out of my face “. Lol. I can sooo relate. It’s normal to feel that way. We need time to care for ourselves so we can care for them better.

You’re not a quitter at all!!!! Please don’t you think so. NO. You are making the best decision so you can be of better service to yourself and your family. And you are saving not only yourself before you fall apart, but saving your whole family

Hey Trish! I am new here:) I am sorry about ur mom. I’ll pray for your family 🤍 how old are ur kiddos? Are they all still home? Or did u graduate any?

Hello! Can you please explain how you do in the US when it comes to higher studies (college/university) if you are homeschooled. In Sweden, Europe, homeschooling is forbidden.

Sending Hugs and Prayers. You go Girl......

Glad to see you on here again 🎉

I meant to thank you for a long time for presenting the RC curriculum a few years ago. I'm an immigrant and not a native English speaker. Just wanted to let you know it really worked for us and it saved our homeschool through the years of sickness and then the loss of my spouse and my parents. Kiddo is almost finished with the Saxon Calculus at 16. He worked alone his way through each book, often in hospital waiting rooms. We tweaked the curriculum a little from time to time and adjusted the reading list. We also used the old spelling books you presented a few years ago. So, thank you again because I probably would have never found RC without you! Take care of yourself!

I love how you're so honest. This resonates with me so much! I homeschool and feel the same! And life always throws us curveballs, and it's like, ahhh!!! I love how you just roll with it. You have to! ❤

I loved Andrea Mills! What a dear sweet woman of God! Thanks for quoting her.

Wait what? The cell towers were out for a week where you are at? YES PLEASE share what you learned!

Power homeschool Is it like switched on homeschool?

How did i miss this? KZfaq! Youve let me down! Glad to see your back

It's great to see you! I'm sorry about your mom!!! I'm so sorry.

Us adhders are addicted to sugar.

I think when all our kids are in the younger years it's good for the homeschool to be the center of everything, but as kids get older it's harder to do that. As the ages and maturity of the family spreads it's just hard to keep that center. I have been homeschooling for many years now and I am also finding this need to not make homeschool the center anymore. I think it's a natural progress for some families. Expectations and Comparisons are the killers of homeschool. I know a lot of large families and mama's who are overwhelmed do Paces and I think that's great!! I know for me personally I have to stop with the expectations of curriculum and education. I need to not feel shame for choosing something that works for us, even if it doesn't live up to MY or OTHERS expectations! I just think PACES or other curriculum similar is such a great choice for so many families and the homeschool community has a tendency of cutting these families down and it's sad. Love you lady!!!

I have diverticulitis also I cant eat hardly anything what do you eat or don't eat

I have to say, I really enjoy listening/watching to the realness that you give in your videos. It's not you sitting in a perfectly curated bedroom or office, with special lighting and speaking to us as though you're on a different level. Thank you for being real.

Good to see you!! I find we are trying to have a normal stable life when it’s abnormal times. Frankly it is charitable to even care about homeschool at this point. It’s not normal times for us to get “flu”, have 6 days healthy then have the “flu” again. It’s not normal to have sore throat and blowing nose for 6 months. Me & several kids are never normal. We just get to about 80% healthy before the next illness. There’s something going on, we all know it. God help us what awaits this fall. If you are getting ANYTHING done, you are rocking it 100%.

Good video. Prayers for your mom. I still miss Andrea. 😢

Yay!! Good morning. Love when I see that you have upload a video. I have a few plants but not as many as before. No patio now😢

Hey! Coffee with Trish on a Sunday morning!
