@@katie7748 I figured that out after I recorded. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The rest of my recipes were beautifully flat. My 15 year old might be more excited than I was because he laminated everything I had laid out to get laminated. 😂 He reran the one from the video and it flattened it right out.

@@katie7748 thank you! I kind of had a feeling that was the case when I saw they specifically made ones for dry erase. I definitely want to sit down and make chore charts at some point but will probably end up feeling the urge to buy the dry erase laminating sheets first. Probably a lot of uses for them…even for making lists first like things we run out of that we need at the store.

@@katie7748 awesome! I just thought it was an excessive non useful thing before that just took up space. Now I realize I prejudged the laminator and for that I am sorry to my friends. They were right. 😂 Thank you for the belated birthday greeting.

@@craftymine2472 is copyrighted material so there’s no copying permissions…even just for home use. I’m a bit of a rule follower…most of the time.

@@ThePocketFullofArrows That is good that you follow the rules, but there is also the "Fair use" rule which is cover in law and there is also a "limited time" on Copyright material. If these books are being discontinued I really wouldn't worry about it. If you were going to resale the copies to the public then there would be a problem. Example: Think about when a kid or adult draws a picture from some other publication like a book, comic book or just another picture. Its for personal use, the courts really do not care as it is for personal use and it is covered under "Fair use" rule. ((Benjamin Franklin though he never patented any of his inventions. His reasoning is stated in his autobiography: That, as we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously)). Of course the rules have change due to corporate greed. Anyway, I am rambling, your kids deserve the copies. Take care.

@@craftymine2472thanks for the j go. I know there’s a lot of fair use laws but I’ve never really studied them.

@@craftymine2472 They were rougher with it this time and I was nervous but it’s still full of air….so far.

@@craftymine2472 Thanks. I was thinking about doing that because I definitely worry they’ll rip off when one child goes to grab a book and potentially snags on a label.

@@craftymine2472 I haven’t been super active on it until recently. Decided to see what would happen if I decided to dedicate more time to it.

@@ThePocketFullofArrows Will try and watch each video you put out. Tell your husband I said Hi.

It’s the only science I used last year anyway. In the past I used whatever came in the family cycle from My Father’s World. It was good for a season, but I like having more freedom to choose what I think might work better for my kids instead of being bound to a boxed preset set of books for every subject. Granted, you can still do that with Masterbooks by getting a whole grade level at a time, but I feel there’s a lot more freedom and simplicity with Master Books. I hope all of that makes sense. I’m still in the process of waking up. 😂

Totally a game changer. It has been so much less stressful for my kids and I.

I’ve used a little Rod and Staff in the past but I never tried their spelling. I think I only used it for PreK because I liked how it helped with some fine motor skills due to lots of cutting and coloring.

I’m so bad at looking in the back of the book. We’ve just used Reason For for so long and it works that it’s definitely a preference. Plus with the ones that have struggled with reading sometimes the words can be a bit too advanced and frustrating for those kids. I may have to pay more attention to the back LLFLE in the future for my kids that haven’t struggled as much. Thanks for the info.

​@@ThePocketFullofArrows your welcome. If you don't have it already Masterbooks has an app and you can always find tips and tricks on there or ask fellow Masterbooks moms for suggestions.

It really doesn’t get enough attention. I agree. I didn’t even know about it until I got a homeschool catalogue from Christian book.

Thanks for the tip. So far it seems to be fixed, but if it happens again soon, we definitely will look into that.

Oh yay! More than Words looked great so I knew I wanted to give it a try. Thanks for sharing that information. I think Zoology will be fun and it will be a good excuse for a zoo day at some point.

You’re very welcome. Glad to meet another homeschool mom who enjoys Master books as well. It definitely has worked well for my family.

Hahaha!

These cats are the ones testing out new things so you dont get poisened or play with a Scorpion or something. They are protecting you. ❤

Yeah, Costco really does have some great home gym stuff when it’s actually there. It really doesn’t take too much to start training. I’m not a personal trainer, but YT has been a great place to find videos to help me make better gains.

I’ll definitely review the apologetics for kids. My daughter does the economics on her own so I don’t see much until I grade her work.

I absolutely agree! That’s why I felt the need to add it into our basic curriculum.

Oh you know it’s delicious!

Thanks!

Super easy. I do 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of unsweetened original almond milk, 1/4 cup of zero fat Greek yogurt. 2 and a quarter tsp sugar substitute (I like Pyure), 2 and a quarter tsp of chia seeds, 1 and a half tsp maple extract. Stir it all up and add a handful of frozen strawberries. Pop the lid on and put it in the fridge. I just break up the strawberries with a spoon in the morning when I go to eat it.

For the omelet cups it’s basically anything you like in an omelet diced up (I do a quarter of an onion and 1/4 f a bell pepper for 8 cups) and mixed with one less egg than the amount of cups you’re making. Add a splash of half and half or cream. Mix it up…pour in silicone liners (they stick horribly to paper) top with cheese of your choice, bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes. I also put bacon in them because my husband loves bacon…and I add a little pepper. If you don’t use bacon you will want a couple of pinches of salt.
