I love the games your kids made! Wow!

That’s so cool that you are doing Game Logic! That’s on my list to do with my daughter who is currently in 5th grade. Did you end up finishing it and how did your kids like it?

I love the Alexa reminder!

ooh, I like the look of that Write Source book. You opened it and I have lovely flashbacks to the 80's in my own grade school! Let me know how you like it!!!

I'd love to her more about Ferret Ecology! I just bought it to use with my daughter next school year. Have a great second semester!

I think we would get along well if we lived near each other. Love the suggestions I get from you. Do you find the ADHD book helps?

We have the Money Matters. Have you found any supplements on that for diving deeper? If your son likes puzzles, the Beast Academy puzzles/puzzle books are pretty fun!

Hello, we listen to the CC audiobooks through the Books app and set the playback speed to .75x. It ends up being the perfect speed for us to process what they're saying, and it actually sounds like the appropriate talking speed since they talk very fast in the original recordings! I love your channel, thanks for sharing all that you do! :)

What a productive day! I really appreciate how you’ve added in the bits about your meal prep and the breakfast/lunch prep. It is a careful dance to keep everyone fed, clothed, and educated, and as a ND mom I need to continue finding ways to support myself in this dance. Your ideas were great! Hope you all continue to have a great school year! ❤️

You are crushing it. You made me laugh when you mentioned your nails - never noticed until you said something! I’m suspect of a mom with a perfect manicure anyway ❤ you have some really interesting read-alouds.

I would love links to the things you use from tpt

I mean, you can not do a unit on ferrets without a cute ferret sidekick! 😀

You find a lot of good resources 😊 I just subbed because there are a lot of good suggestions in the couple videos I have watched. I am an overplanner too and we just get through whatever we can and keep going if we want to or stop when we feel like we have done enough. We do a more year round approach, just stopping when we need to due to life. It was a game changer when I surrendered to that mindset. You're great at finding resources and providing resources is really our job. If I try to actually schedule every single resource I find I also stress myself out and I dont want to feel that way through this education journey. They dont stop learning when they turn 18! Fostering a love of learning is what's important, and you're doing that so take a deep breath because you're doing great.

We are about to start Mystery Disease and I'd love more info on how you administer this with just one child since it seems to be set up for teams.

I really enjoy your videos. You find great resources! Audiobooks have been a game changer for us.

Oh my goodness lady!! First off, you are doing remarkable. I, too, am an over planner. Big Dreams and not enough time. Secondly, Audio books have helped us stay on track with reading the never ending list of MUST READS!! Very much enjoy your videos. You got this!!

You are doing amazing don’t be so hard on yourself!! Enjoying learning and relationships over box checking any day ❤

Where did you get the race strategy pack and the Cornell note taking

My 4th grader loved The Giver. So much so he wanted to read the follow up book.

I’d love to hear more about how you are teaching note taking.

I forgot to ask, do you think the comic art is good? I have looked at it a few times but never taken the plunge. She loves to draw comics and does them all the time so I wondered if there was anything useful it contained that could add to the experience.

Great to see your update. Crazy to see mid year updates already. The year is flying!

We love hearth and story! the writing component is fantastic 😍

Love the cover! Do you know where you got the download? It is a simple planner, but thorough. Love it!

Your cover turned out so cute!

Fun school day! Happy Christmas break!❤

Your son has some very cool hair 🙂 my girls always use some form of bodily functions in madlibs lol

Your day is very quiet. Ours us full of whining yelling and complaining 😑

We've barely done school for a month because I've been sick and in and out of hospital. But it's our last week too.

I love aphmau! They are honestly the cutest, I love collecting them myself ❤

We are doing good but are ready for a break. We do 6 weeks on 1 week off all year but with 2 week breaks at Christmas, spring break time and in July. So looking dorward to 2 weeks off starting next monday.

Playmobil is awesome for stop motion too! :)

Such a neat idea… love it

Do you have an update on the Frayer model and how it's working so far? Thanks a million for all the knowledge you share.

Thanks for the flip through!

I love that I came across your videos! We use MWC 4 for our 4th grader and missed the cutoff to be a pilot tester for MWC 6! Glad to see even a short review on it. Sad he will be in 8th by the time it gets released.

This is such a great idea!

Our 9 year old chemists would be best friends, so these gift ideas are gold.

Such a wonderful idea! I will use this for my son's birthday this year. Thanks so much!

oh, that history according to cats book is amazing! i want that as a 32 year old full grown woman. great gifts!

This one seems so fun! I love that she is getting the otter art you created for her and the peg doll roll play kit. So fun!

Such an interesting and imaginative idea! Thanks for sharing 😊

I like the chemistry bundle! Great choices!

That is such a beautiful gift book box. I love your idea about the Christmas countdown books. I wish I would have thought of that. I may need to see if I have enough photos to create some.

I’m an artist and have those paint markers myself and they are amazing!!

Such great ideas, I am also gifting a stop motion bundle with a Klutz lego stop motion book and a webcam :)

Great gifts! The emotional support otter is adorable! Merry Christmas, Ava! 🎄

Lots of fun goodies! She will be a happy girl!❤

I do compare but it’s not a huge deal with my kids. I keep a note on my phone of everything I get them and include price I paid and an emoji to add it to a category. So I use one for games, toys, clothes, shoes, books, building bricks, magnetic toys, video games, blankets, rocks, and from Santa. I do the same for stockings. So they both get roughly the same total price, same types of gifts, and same number. It really helps control the impulse buying. And if I go over I’ll save it for Easter or my daughter’s February birthday.

Great gifts. I love stocking stuffers. I got mine kinetic sand too. 🎄
