DAY IN MY LIFE Homeschool Mama of 6

[@unabellavita6541]

I wash all our dishes by hand too! And every meal is from scratch. One thing that has made things much easier is I fill 1 side of the sink with soapy water early in the day and put any dishes that accumulate throughout the day in there and wash intermittently, as I am able. Saves water and nothing gets stuck. Super easy! I prefer it over having a dishwasher

[@leahbrie97]

Love all of your videos but just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed and missed your videos from this mamas faith. I find them so encouraging and listen to them all the time!!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I’ll be posting on there again really soon!! I’ve missed it too

[@silverdreamss93]

I'd love a video about your schedule. I'm one of the only homeschoolers in my area, so I utilize KZbin often, to get more ideas/advice.

[@christinascatholichomemaking]

For winter, I wear a long skirt, with an underskirt if it is really cold, and leggings. I typically wear a cute pair of boots as my shoes. I also have boot style slippers for in the house.

[@JC-kj7ng]

Fellow homeschool mom here. Yes! Teaching kids to do their own laundry from start to finish is such a help! Plus, it’s a life skill that they need to know. Thanks for sharing your day and your routine. I appreciate it! Love your videos.

[@Homeschoolintheplains]

I liked how you showed the entirety of the clean up in real time. It showed that it didn’t really take *that* long 😄 Thanks!

[@YiannolaAntisipolpus]

I wear only skirts and dresses as well I wear fleece line tight or thermals under my dresses and skirts , when I go to the gym I wear the workout skort with shorts underneath.

[@aka10421]

I always do a little something for Valentines with my boys. This year we are focusing on God’s love and each day read a scripture about his love. On the actual day they will each get a book and we will bake a themed treat, probably cupcakes.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Ooo I haven’t made cupcakes in a long time! Good idea

[@fionainherkitchen]

Hi Tabitha 😊 delighted everything getting back on track for you and family 😊 Thank you for sharing your busy day with us. God bless you all 🙏 Fiona.

[@amyb659]

For winter I wear leggings under all of my dresses/skirts, warm socks and layer tops under dresses with a warm sweater on top! I'm always very warm in church or when I go out!

[@jessicaliebenow04]

Yes! Routines and schedules are much appreciated!!!! 😊

[@jadevu904]

Wow you are incredible! Super mom!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Wow, thank you!

[@briannamartin2227]

I would love to see a video more in depth on your schedule. I wear skirts and dresses too and I haven't found a good way to always look cute in the cold either haha!

[@embracingvintagehomemaking]

Snag brand super opaque tights are nice and warm, very well made. I bought a few pairs over three years ago and wear each pair 2x/week and they are still in great condition. It helped my transition to dresses only go so smoothly. They’re so comfy!

[@domoweprzedszkoleunas5266]

It's always nice to see you and watch your routines 😊 Every time it makes me feel more motivated to do all the homemaking & homeschooling things! Greetings from a fellow "skirt &socks mama"from Poland😅

[@StellaMarisHomeschool]

Team skirts and big fuzzy socks! Lol I totally get what you mean about feeling goofy sometimes 😂

[@lynnebrown-hardy1566]

Last year for Valentine’s Day my daughter and daughter in law plus their three kids came over to eat with me and my three (I have custody’s of 4of my grandchildren, the oldest of which is 19 and now spends weekdays with his dad and mom). We had heart shaped pizza for dinner and I made a fun snack board with all kinds of cookies and candy and small treats. The kids got to fill treat bags with items off the board. This year we are doing heart shaped pizzas again along with heart shaped pasta salad and heart shaped chicken nuggets for the little ones. I found a few heart shaped cheeses and have picked up some valentine treats. I bought valentine inspired socks for the older kids and a heart shaped Disney surprise box for the little ones. My daughter is bringing more goodies to add to the snack tray. I found all the above items at Aldi this week. Pizzas went in the freezer to stay fresh.

[@jamieo3869]

Warm fleece tights under skirt 👍🏻 but currently 7 months pregnant and they don’t fit anymore so just maxi dresses and maternity leggings and shirts at home for me!

[@gabriellemanier2223]

For winter I wear leggings under my skirt or dresses and longer socks (usually fuzzy & Warm socks. I try to buy neutral ones but it's fun to get cute patterns too. I like wearing longer skirts or dresses too for fall & winter. If it's really cold I do wear an under skirt too!

[@homecooking8005]

Yay It's so nice to see your videos! You look more and more beautiful in every video!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Oh thank you!

[@happybusymamavlogs2292]

I agree with you with washing dishes being therapeutic I also find it to be very peaceful. It kinda gives you that quiet time and time you need to yourself.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Exactly !

[@lizcookphoto]

So glad you’re back! My kiddos and I have missed your videos! (Especially over at This Mama’s Faith!) would love to see more detailed AM and PM routines. 😊

[@NicholePhillips-v1s]

I am a mama who washes her dishes by hand! Always have, always will as I grew up with a dishwasher and hated it. It never made sense to me to rinse dishes off to only put them in the dishwasher and hope they got clean, lol. I find it relaxing and a good way to spend quality time with the kiddos as well as they love to help. As for Valentine's Day I get them a card and something inexpensive to go with it❤

[@DefundBigpHARMa]

I have horrible dishwasher luck and also just decided to wash by hand! Almost 18 months now and I feel the same way. It’s very therapeutic!!!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Ryan is thinking of getting me a new one. Man, it feels so time consuming with such a big family

[@kimberlyholt2241]

Great to see you back! You are very much an inspiration! I'm just now trying to get more dresses and skirts 🤗 And socks are GREAT at home!!!!!

[@sahmof7]

I like how you have a separate table for homeschooling!

[@tiffanyhueste2515]

Yes please! We are in our first year of homeschooling and I just can't seem to figure out how to get it all done!

[@coraosborn22]

My daughters wear only skirts and dresses and they wear lined tights, leggings, wool tights, and even thermal underwear. They also wear bootie style slippers with their tights to protect the soles and stay warm. I know many women that have never worn pants, some choose to wear long skirts, mostly thick denim. In the past I wore wool skirts to stay warm too, though I wonder if you could even find wool skirts today. If nothing else find a neutral pair of bootie slippers to keep warm and still look cute 😊

[@beckygroff8698]

Nice to see you! I’ve been one of your original watchers since the girls were tiny-it’s been a pleasure watching you grow as a woman wife and mother and your relationship with the Lord!! I remember you not enjoying being in your kitchens years ago-you’ve changed a lot ❤❤❤❤

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Thank you Becky! I have changed a lot! Thanks be to God! I always love seeing comments from people that have watched for years. Means a lot to me that even though I’ve changed, some still enjoy the videos

[@Rachel-eh3oc]

I love watching anything you do, love the routines. PLEASE do a more in depth video of curriculums especially for your pre-k child. I am trying to navigate that right now and could use some guidance!

[@clarethomson_]

Great video!! It is so refreshing to see an authentic, Catholic family online :) I really look up to you and your family, as this lifestyle is what I desire for my vocation. As for the Valentine's day tradition, our parents would get us all a small gift (no more than $20) that we could open after school. God bless!

[@ShannonWilliamson-d1r]

I only wear dresses also. To keep warm in the winter I also wear big fluffy socks 🧦 absolutely!! Sometimes when it’s very cold I’ll double up my skirt or even wear tights under my skirt

[@marila1005]

You work so hard every day ❤ just found your videos and like to watch them.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Thank you so much!

[@sunshineandsunflowers1643]

Would be so nice to see more of the days in your life.

[@germanmaria]

I Have osteoarthritis with knock knees. I made it a habit to only buy dresses and skirts that go down to my ankles because of my knees. This way is how I keep warm while wearing dresses and skirts in the winter.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

That’s a good ifea

[@saintamerican6105]

Your hair looks so healthy, sleek and classy i love it 🙏❤️ You’re so beautiful Tabitha, not an ounce of makeup needed on that lovely face!

[@randa4m]

I agree! Dishes are rough without dishwasher. I have to watch something while doing them twice a day and that’s just our little family of 5. Dishwashing gloves helps my hands not dry out and I have lotion by the sink to help.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Yes!!

[@acountrylife]

Our dishwasher was the same way. Nothing was legitimately broken, but a wash cycle didn't result in clean dishes so we've been handwashing since Jan. 2022 or was it 2021? It's been a long time. There are four of us in the washing rotation and I write the names on the calendar. It's been working well for us and I do enjoy the warm water and slow down of just washing dishes.

[@shannonreynolds5084]

I have worn dresses and skirts my entire life. In winter I wear leggings or tights ❤

[@anafa9946]

Hiii, how do you keep you toddler entertained when you have to sit down and teach other children? I’m currently teaching one child but my 1 year old interrupts so much which is understandable but anything I do doesn’t keep him entertained for more than 5 minutes

[@amydegregory2137]

You’re channel is so refreshing. I enjoy it a lot! Thanks for sharing.

[@chavaspropheticlife]

I wash by hand too.. little suggestion to give your children a little responsibility by teaching them to wash their breakfast and lunch dishes and how to wipe down the table. My girls do these small chores and it helps lighten the load on me. So after dinner at a certain time I wash and tidy up the kitchen and house but it’s not overwhelming because some of the dishes are already done from earlier. Part of learning is how to take care of housework.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Yes! The kids definitely need to learn to help. They do dishes a couple times a week!

[@LauraS1104]

Oh my word!! That turkey is HUGE!’😂😂

[@mrsB0915]

My dishwasher has been broken for about 6 years now 🙈😂 my hubby keeps talking about getting a new one but I keep telling him I enjoy my time at the sink! Some days it’s my only opportunity to watch your videos uninterrupted lol

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Love it!! I feel the same haha

[@kayla3687]

Hey hey lovely lady ❤😊 good morning and cheers hope your having a fabulous day

[@motherhoodwithmonica5094]

Totally here for the more detailed schedule!!! ❤ that turkey is HUGE lol

[@brandijordan9969]

I would buy a new dishwasher and save that time!! I would like to see the detailed routines and schedules.

[@emilymorris864]

Eggs look great . I recently saw a chef cook eggs and she seasoned with salt at the last second . It seemed to make her eggs much fluffier ❤ Just a friendly tip that has changed my eggs :)

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Sounds great!

[@kathyclover7960]

Hi Tabith I’ve been a subscriber for quite some time and let me tell you I just love your channel n I think you’re a wonderful wife n Mama😍 I’m a Grammie to 3 adorable grandkids, so I did have a question if you don’t mind if it’s too intrusive just ignore please. I noticed I never see Grandparents I just wondered if they weren’t local or something? Thank you for sharing your Beautiful family with us🥰

[@GBY301]

That is the exact book I have been reading my children at meal times ☺️

[@aprilknerr4443]

I enjoyed the video. Fun for me to see your day ❤

[@jordangholson3210]

Fleece lined or cable knit tights!

[@acvidkid1392]

You look great. I love the dark hair. Very pretty..really suites you! I have been there before.. washing dishes by hand.. time consuming yes.. but I really started enjoying my hands in the hot water and there's nothing like washing dishes by hand that bring you right back to the old school, domestic ways of life. We get rid of the electronics, maybe add a cooking wood stove HEY we are back in pioneer days! Or atleast I like to pretend. 😊 but no I'm not getting a cooking wood stove just because but it is a nice thought!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Great video Tabitha. I've missed you.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Thank you! 😊

[@FD-gv2tv]

Ur family is not that large, I watch one Lady here ,she just delivers her 17 baby ❤❤❤,u amazing mom I love ur videos ,may God bless you and all urs ❤

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Wow! That mother is very blessed!

[@BakingwithBecca10]

Love the recipes and cooking! Also the homeschool routines. Are you doing any sourdough? Im also in huge socks and slippers in michigan 😂

[@KasiaG-w8b]

You seriously don’t look like a mom but like a movie actress with this black hair! Like a badass!

[@tamekadavis9051]

Good morning and happy Wednesday

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Same to you

[@tanyahale1186]

It was really nice to see another video. ❤️ thank you 🙏

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MegaBella1985]

Hi! What kind of tortillas do you use? And what color is the nail polish you’re wearing? I love your nails

[@ThisMamasHouse]

They are the uncooked tortillas from Costco. Sams has them too! I use the gel polish from beetles. The blue is shade b199 :) it’s sold on Amazon and pretty easy to use and lasts so long!

[@MrsBarhelm]

Love your nail color! 💅 😍

[@alohamaud5905]

We make turkey jook soup - so good !!!!

[@savannahwheeler9359]

I’m still figuring out the looking cute in the winter in skirts and dresses too lol I also don’t like the feeling of tights and leggings so….it’s hard to figure it out lol.

[@priscillaramos3033]

I noticed that you didn't do group subjects with your kids.. do you do that?? How?? Im always looking for ideas:) Im a fellow homeschool mom .. my daughter is eight and my sons are 5 and 2.. love routine and schedule videos!!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

We do that during the “extra” time after lunch. Art, science, history, and Latin!

[@jamiestanley9234]

I love these kind of videos!

[@LauraS1104]

For winter I’ve been wearing knee length dresses with black yoga pants/legging and fuzzy slipper boots lol

[@kalenclark]

This made me crave avocado at 11:43pm. lol. Not fair!

[@blessings3730]

I make those deserts all the time. My kids call them oat balls 😂

[@thelivingfaithfulhomeschoo9906]

We found thin fleece lined leggings to wear under our skirts. Game changer!

[@annak2456]

Hey, how come you haven't gotten your dishwasher fixed yet? I feel bad for you 🙂

[@naomihartman6623]

We don’t do valentines for our kids it’s only for lovers. Boy friend girlfriend etc it’s not our custom to do that in Australia

[@carriegoerlitz9115]

Another good video. I were leggings under my skirts/ dresses. Keeps me warm. Have a blessed week.

[@lisahempel3255]

Im Apostolic so I'm use to wearing skirts and dresses. I'll wear tights or leggins under my skirts and mid boots or high length boots. I stay warm. Just because you don't wear pants doesn't mean we can't stay warm. 😁

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I stay warm too just look goofy sometimes with my big socks lol

[@martinaclausen2169]

I love your Videos! When do you do your youtubestuff? I find it very hard to Work online and have little Kids. Love from Germany ❤️

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Between 1-3 and after the kids go to bed!

[@jessicathorne7154]

Where did you get your crucifix above your fireplace?! 😍

[@victoriairaheta7506]

Tabitha!! So great to see a new video. I had a question, I understand your oldest goes to private school due to the arrangement with her father. But you also mentioned her personality being another reason she thrives in school. Could you share a bit about the personality type? I ask because I’ve homeschooled my boys and in this season they are attending public school and my oldest son loves it and does not wish to be homeschooled. I struggle with that a lot. But wonder if him going to school is a better fit for him than homeschooling.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I’d be happy to talk to you about it over email!

[@mariavolpe8912]

I'm from Brazil, i Love you canal.

[@AdventuresofEmilyandLily]

Paper plates and plastic disposal utensils come in handy when your strapped for time

[@MomNTraining]

Do you wear leggings underneath your skirts? Also, so glad to see you uploading. I get a lot of inspiration from your videos. You get so much done, but it’s so calming. Sometimes “get it all done” videos can be a little overwhelming.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I do but I don’t like the look. I’m so glad you like my videos!

[@lomlyn]

[@brookbell5466]

Super random question but what size Berkey do you have and how often do you have to change filters? I just did the math and we spend about $992 Oh gallons of water each year 😮 curious if the price of the Berkey plus filters would be about the same, more or less!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

It’s a 6 gallon! There biggest one! I haven’t changed the filters yet. We don’t use it for all water anymore now that we aren’t on city water. You’d have to change them more often if you’re putting city water in it

[@zaphireniatheodoraki1590]

Do you read any other books aside from the Bible?

[@annar2754]

Where did you get your skirt?

[@ThisMamasHouse]

It’s a dress! I just put the sweatshirt over it. I think it’s from Shein

[@PinkJG619]

Don’t they make those fleece legging that look like nylons? You always make me so hungry with all your foods haha. Why do you only wear skirts? I’ve been curious what changed your mind to that. I’ve been homeschooling for 3 years now and I’m stressed out about 8th grade which is next year and high school. Our charter won’t pay for anything religious. I was doing 180 days but they don’t have that for 8th and up.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Wanted to dress for God. More modestly and femininely

[@cindyarias2031]

💛💛💛

[@dannifulker7494]

❤️

[@brroookkeee]

Why do you only wear dresses and skirts?

[@ThisMamasHouse]

To honor God with my body and be more modest and feminine.

[@deborahpullen9940]

Why don't you wear a pair of leggings under your skirt or dress.Then you could wear a pair of nice cozy slippers when indoors.
