We homeschooled all the way through, and colleges are SUPER easy now with helping with homeschoolers get into college. My kids easily got into good colleges and transitioned perfectly after homeschooling. It went very well and wasn't that hard at all (to get them into college). I was surprised. They are nearly done with their college careers. Homeschooling works. :)

So appreciate you and your videos! I am a 2nd generation homeschool Mom and have been homeschooling for two years now and I honestly thought it would be so easy had being homeschooled myself but I have had so many challenges and days where I wondered if it was the right thing. Then I watch your videos and your encouragement just lifts me back up :) Thank you for what you do. Also, I live in Indiana and it would be a state worth looking into :)

I am a recent subscriber and I stayed largely because we both have belief in God, our homeschool, our self-discipline and our calling to serve. I do know that we have differences in our “politics”, and in all the ways God has made us individuals ❤️🙏🏻 and that is what makes us all His unique creations. I was so sad to hear that people had “attacked” (social media keyboard warrior style) you in your past video and have continued to support you because that is what we are all here for. We need not always agree or walk the same path to reach our destination and enjoy each other’s company and appreciate everything we have to offer one another. God Bless and I look forward to more of your videos. You are appreciated and seen. ❤️🙏🏻

I moved from my home state of North Dakota because winter is just brutal. We have lived in Nebraska for 5 years now and wouldn’t change it! Winter is only a couple months and not nearly as cold! There are many places to camp within a short distance and we are within a couple hours of Kansas City or even Colorado 😍😍

We went to Mount Rushmore before Yellowstone and we loved it more than I would have thought. Be sure to watch the show, it is awesome and will touch your heart. Lots of history to be learned in one spot.

My childhood definitely shaped my perfectionist personality but I'm incredibly hard on myself when I can't do it all, having grace is a challenge. We absolutely love living in South Carolina. We love the political stance and states rights. The homeschool 3rd option is very freeing. We have a beautiful oceanside, countryside, and mountainside all within 5hrs. We do have a winter but very rarely do we get snow. You can visit Charleston, Savannah, Beaufort, and Hilton Head all in one vacation ♡ Its beautiful. Yay for conceal and carry 😁

Love Yellowstone! Never have been to Glacier, but would like to one day. Just a warning if you go anytime after September there’s gonna be snow most likely. Bring hiking boots and vacuum pack parkas. It’s saves space in the car and you may not need them. The park also has a plow schedule so don’t fret if you can’t get to a certain part. Talk to the rangers, they always give the best info. Get up early (like 4am) to see wolves in the valley. You must goto Cody WY and visit the Buffalo Bill Museum!!! It’s amazing and they have the biggest gun museum, amazing!!! You would need at least two days to finish it. Cody is a cute little town, we rode ATVs (wild horses) in the middle of nowhere and rode horses! Nightly rodeo during season. Great place to visit.

Although, I'm quite surprised at some of the questions that get asked as someone who watches regularly. It's quite obvious what answer you would give, but your channel has grown a lot and I guess I forget that we aren't the small little group we once were, which is still amazing but different. I used to read and respond within the comments as well and even remember most of the regulars but yes it as gotten a bit overwhelming to read and chat with a huge number. It is great that your growing through and happy to be apart of it!!

In her past videos she has said she uses wordly wise to give the kids something to do while she works with others kids and its useful to their knowledge and keeping their brains focused in the academic area until she make her way around to helping them. This is the best I can describe it for a better idea watch some of her older homeschooling videos maybe 2 or 3 years back.
