213: Surprising Approach to Homeschool - Not What You've Been Seeing... // Back to Homeschool Help

[@lettinggoofperfect7821]

Thank you. I was talking with God earlier today about how I feel behind and unprepared for this years school. This popped up on my feed and I have never seen you before today. We have been focusing on this already. God definitely used you today to remind me I'm right where I need to be. 💚

[@jessicajackson1088]

Yes! Taking care of my home is a part of my goals for this month, too. I want to focus more on good habits to help our restart of school.

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Amen!

[@brandyjanik66]

Lol I have not gotten any school supplies! We have more then enough for everyone just from the years past. All I need to get is one 7th grade math workbook. And I am with you sister for enjoying the nice weather while it lasts! We don't start school till almost October. Over the years I have adopted a minimalist homeschool approach. The less stuff I have to buy the better.

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Amen- doesn't it just make it so smooth and enjoyable? 🪴

[@gailfails8819]

I was so excited to learn that I could buy the Bible study on Amazon!! I bought months 1 and 2... I assume those are the only ones available right now. We are really looking forward to co-op class this morning!! May God bless all you set your hand to!!

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Yes- month 3 & beyond coming soon!!! :) XOXOXO

[@trishazeigler92]

The deep purge goal sounds like a wonderful idea! We have a small house and I am getting overwhelmed. I need strategies and encouragement to get the kids to help clean out. I too don't buy school supplies other than some notebooks and folders. We do most of the work online.

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

I'd be happy to share throughout the month! :) XO

[@CharityC1370]

We started August 7th. Was so happy to find your channel. We've been doing Torah and the Feast Days for the past 11 years and we are in our 8th year of home education. 8th, 6th, 5th, and 4th this year.

[@FaithFreedomFunFitness]

Yes…share more about your decluttering! We’re doing that right now too! I love how similar your homeschool is to ours…we’re really focusing on a lot of the same things as you!

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Amen- we'll absolutely do so throughout the month!!! :)

[@becishearman9529]

This is so helpful, and inspiring- thank you! ✨ yes please to following you all as you purge! I’d be very grateful for some motivation in that area! 🙋🏼‍♀️😂 so glad I came across this wonderful channel + ministry! ❤ Praying for God’s blessings on you all! 🙏🏼 Xx

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

ALL glory to God, thank you for the kind words! XO

[@LifeWithTheLunas]

Yes, l too can relate to the power of having a minimalist home. Our family had planned on moving to Portugal so in May l got us down to a suitcase each. God is leading us another way so we’ll be entering into an empty home. As excited as l am for this next chapter, l’m also equally nervous about how quickly the clutter with collect and create chaos. I vote yes to creating videos around keeping a minimalist home. 🙌🏻

[@kari7398]

Yes please, would love to follow your deep clean and purge 🙏

[@tathimitchell]

Praying for an awesome year for you and the girls! ❤

Yes! I would love to see the deep purge and cleaning! I watch homeschooling videos and cleaning/organizing videos here on KZbin!

[@elizabethbrewer2965]

Such a great video! Love the ease you take with homeschooling. We also have some adhd in our home and wanting to purge everything! Would love to hear more on this and even homeschooling with adhd. ❤❤❤ thank you!!

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Glad it can be a help! We'll definitely keep sharing! XOXO

I love the idea of a deep clean, deep purge. We are going to sprinkle this in because I’m seeing that the things we had are starting to get in the way of our learning and our time. We are planning on selling our house and downsizing with 4 kiddos and potentially taking an RV trip for a year. I can’t wait to see your progress and hear about it! I would love to see the process for sure! Thank you!

[@dailydoseofdoster1354]

I’m deep purging this month as well. I have one in public school and one homeschool because she has Autism. Just found your videos and love them! Can wait to follow along and get to know y’all better. God bless and thanks so much!

Yes, homestead and the new animal! Can't wait to see what you have.

Hey neighbor! :)

[@JJ-pc3fh]

My daughter & her family are looking to move to NC. What part of NC are you located? They’re looking for smaller towns near bigger city.

[@ErstwhileEducation]

How have I only just discovered your channel? Love it!! And yes to the purge vids please. Also ADHD mama here and the struggle with doom piles is real 😅 I love a clean minimal home, how does it creep up? Looking forward to hearing your strategies

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

You got it! Putting together my plan now-- because YES. ALLLLL the yes-- it can be SO much! XOXO

[@nicoleclarke2857]

I just thought the same. Where has this channel been my whole life? Homeschool philosophy, check! Adhd, check! Decluttering, check! Homesteading, check! -though, not enough room for many animals here, only a garden and a few chickens for us. I’ll live vicariously through you guys with the rest.

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Haha- well, I'm thankful we can all connect!!! Woohoo!

[@dianebevans6864]

I am all for minimal home.

[@ari3lz3pp]

Homestead stuff is always great to learn about!!! I love how you mention the dogs and then there's the sound of dog paws coming down the hall in the background. 😄 We have lots of ADHD as well and are aiming for minimalism. Unfortunately for our (pre teen) daughter started to show much more severe symptoms with puberty. We did not want to put her on RX but were desperate. Now we do an early cup of organic green tea. I have to make her sip it, and if she doesn't get it until later in the AM we might only do half a cup. She isn't showing signs of addiction, she doesn't have it every day. But it's about 4-6 days a week and so far it's been a positive difference.

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

That's awesome! Yes, we also avoid medications unless absolutely necessary. :)

[@britniewing4012]

Super excited about the Bible curriculum getting finished! I purchased the first month last school year but did not start it yet because I wanted to make sure we could keep going on it! WOOHOO!!!

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Yes- month 3 will be out soon and the team is cracking on through them all! Praying for the Lord's blessing upon this all! It's been a crazy process... maybe one day we'll sit and get to share about it. :)

[@britniewing4012]

YES!!!! I love to watch purging! It will also inspire me to do the same!

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

You got it! 🎉

New subscriber. Love tour video, its not part of homeschool but my oldest and I have been decluttering and cleaning like crazy. I can't believe you didn't plan, I love planning and do a bit each day lol

[@trishazeigler92]

I have a 10th grader, a 5-6th? grader, a 2-3nd? grader, a 1st grader and a baby on the way. I'm a little iffy on what grade to say my boys are because they took longer learning to read. We do Easy Peasy which I love because it's very minimalist. We have kept working on reading during the summer a bit and we count all the time we are at church camp towards their required school days.😊

[@allyh193]

Yes on showing the purge. We definitely need to do this!

Except the littlest one we can pick up homeschool without anything really. Only because he's struggling in handwriting so i got materials together for that. At most I do lots of printing books. And we just do our work.

Do you have any videos on your personal morning routine? Are you up before kids? Set time to start school? Time for exercise, devotionals etc? I'm never "ready" for the day!

[@bestlandhomeschool]

Do you offer biblical feasts classes in your co-op? I would be interested for elementary-high school. It would be cool if they’re done prior to the specific feast or right up to when they are happening.

[@alle1780]

I would love to know about home stead stuff too! Really enjoying your channel!

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Thank you so much- absolutely! Stay tuned! 😍

[@ari3lz3pp]

The Bible study guide looks neat! ❤ Until Middle School I had to attend Catholic school, and we studied the Bible (though they definitely took a lot out of a Christian context). I had a step dad that had us read every week from the KJV. The last few years my husband and I study the Bible quite often. But could always use more! There's just so much in the Bible. Sometimes I feel embarrassed I forget certain things that I've read several times. Not one of those people that typically remembers what book has what verse I like etc. Though I've become better! 😊 I've heard of many people that study the Bible many times over as scholars. Definitely can give a re-read! 💛 It's interesting how the Bible is the most translated book, most sought after book, most debated, most hated, and most loved "book" in history. I think that alone is something to marvel at when it comes to God's word. 🙏🕊️🌈✨

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

Amen- you can study it your whole life and still be learning! :)

How wonderful!!!

[@Natalie2-11]

Would you all recommend homeschooling if I have only 1 child? Kinda worried about social skills and interaction.

[@trishazeigler92]

You can probably find local homeschool groups to socialize. We used to be in a co-op when my kids were younger. Now we just get together with other homeschool families from church or the area and go skating or go to a park. We go skiing, biking and camping with a family or 2 from our church.

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

1,000%!!! Yes! It is SO important! And socialization is everywhere- not just with other kids. With you, with people in the grocery store, with people at the park-- also why we host our co-op classes online for others to come join and work with their peers. There's a link in the description if you want to come join us! :) XO

[@kylieryan6775]

You are actually teaching social skills just meeting people on walks, doing excursions, going to the supermarket, going to the park, getting together with family and friends, church, meeting neighbours, etc. Social skills is a lie from the enemy to justify us putting our children into the system.

[@emmib1388]

Consider..children really don't learn social skills in public schools being around a few children of their own age vs home schooling and all age groups

[@creationoflove84]

Am I seeing right that your through the Bible study for kids is $300?????

[@HeavenlyMindedHome]

That's just for those that wanted to preorder all the resources (year of Old & New Testament studies, Psalm studies, memory passages, special focuses each month, etc....) and get the 12 months of all the things in one bundle. You can pick the pieces you want and get them at a lower price point-- just depends on what you're looking for. :)

It's just things we do and use to help other families-- no business here. Just simple resources for homeschool families, and ways we tackle life that we share in case they can be a help for someone else. ☺️ Unless we're missing the boat on all the other homeschool mom's in KZbin land that made "minimizing" their back to homeschool curriculum plans this month?

[@cmiller5]

Not sure why you spend so much time saying you're the only one doing this, then laying out all of your co-op classes. That's a lot of planning.
