I’ll go first:
I’m Christina. I’m married to my best friend, Seth, we have 5 kids (ages 2, 3, 6, 10, & 14), and love our family, Jesus, and adventuring together.
We are passionate about being counter culture, including alternatives to traditional schooling. I have experience as a public school teacher, private school teacher, and homeschool mom!
I love the Charlotte Mason education approach, and many others, but I’d say I’m more of an eclectic teacher-mixing the different aspects of homeschool styles that I love-living books, literature-based learning, Montessori, and so much more!
Whether you are considering homeschooling, new to homeschooling, considering alternative ways to educate your child, or just looking for some encouragement and inspiration for your motherhood journey, I hope you feel welcome and encouraged here 🤍

Momma the connection you and your husband have created in your home is straight from God. Praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@RootedHomeLife]

Thank you so much Shana!

[@alexandrabohon2671]

You can just see the love your children have for you, what a blessing! God bless you ❤

[@naturalcreations40]

Love seeing others homeschool routine. Have a wonderful day.

[@RootedHomeLife]

Thank you!

[@Masonsept2011]

I love how relaxed you are with letting your littles engage when they are interested. I like teaching them young to make independent choices in a safe space so they will be capable and confident when they’re older. And I loved the mud kitchen set up! My girls would love something like that.

[@onecaffeinatedmom]

I feel like doing family subjects helps me to slow down and focus on connection while learning together!

[@RootedHomeLife]

Yes! Exactly!

[@knowledgecrate9404]

Thank you for including us in your day ❤ There are always so many wonderful resources you have for families and it's so neat to see how it all comes together!

[@RootedHomeLife]

We love Knowledge Crates!

[@_jessci]

I enjoyed every moment of this video. My favorite was your son picking up laundry with his feet definitely something I need to master! Lol

[@RootedHomeLife]

I’m so glad you loved it! And he is too funny with that!!

[@horsestar8812]

My mom always thought I was nuts when I do that. It definitely saves on the back. It helps to have "monkey toes" as my parents called them! 😊

[@LivingWithEve]

Your patio is so comfy!

[@michellecalais2482]

I love how relaxed your day seems. I usually feel like I need a stiff drink at the end of the day! 😅 Thank you for sharing!

[@Lifewiththecanos]

Love that you started the school day outdoors! The mud kitchen looks like fun!

[@RootedHomeLife]

They love the mud kitchen!

[@worldofweeze]

A mud kitchen is every kids dream! We used to spend hours mixing "paint" (dirt & water) to paint rocks with😃

[@RootedHomeLife]

So fun!

[@LivingWithEve]

I am in love with the indoor hammock swing. So many snuggle opportunities.

[@RootedHomeLife]

Yes! We love it too!!

[@worldofweeze]

I love that he brought you that book and knew just where to find you❤

[@RootedHomeLife]

♥️

[@gatheredandgroundedhomeschool]

Thanks for sharing your day with us! Your family is oh so sweet!

[@RootedHomeLife]

Thank you so much!

[@HomeSweetHomeschoolLife]

What a lovely day! I loved when your son was picking up the stuff in the living room with his feet🤣

[@RootedHomeLife]

Haha he is too funny!

[@Busybeeexplorers]

We definitely don’t fold laundry all at once 😅 We do a similar picking up your pile and I help my son hang up his clothes in closet (He is 4). I absolutely love your flow for your day. I have been struggling to get in a rhythm since baby number two. Thanks for sharing!

[@RootedHomeLife]

Yes! It’s so important to flow with the season of life we are in!!

[@sweetthistle8]

First time here, you just popped up in my feed. Subscribed! Loved this video, so nice to see more relaxed DITL

[@RootedHomeLife]

Yay! So glad you’re here!

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

I love cuddles as part of our morning routine as it’s the best time for them in my house!!! We love breakfast outside as well!!! The kid kitchen math looks awesome!!! We take turns with reading!!! We do vocabulary words like that!!!

[@RootedHomeLife]

Love how much we have in common!

[@apl1515]

Loved this video. It’s so lovely to see you homeschool much like myself. I often think I need to have a more rigid schedule and give my kiddo a checklist but that hasn’t been my style. Sweet video. God bless, your doing so great

[@RootedHomeLife]

Haha yes! You will definitely not find rigid here! ♥️

[@LivingWithEve]

How encouraging are those mid pie recipes. I wish I did this more with my boys.

[@RootedHomeLife]

Same! My older boys didn’t have one!!

[@brookieslovingwaxlife2793]

This is awesome! I have wanted to homeschool for years and I have been so scared and nervous that I can’t do it. You have calmed my nerves and have give me so much confidence in myself that I have always struggled with. Thank you for this. I’m excited and I’ll be withdrawing my kids before next school year.

[@RootedHomeLife]

Ok, this made my whole day! You got this mama! ❤️❤️❤️

[@joanna3367]

Great video! 🤩 thanks for sharing

[@HomeschoolwithMelissa]

Such a beautiful day.

[@SimplyLivingIt]

You are such a good mama. You and your husband are doing and amazing job. 💗 Also, your outdoor area is amazing!

[@RootedHomeLife]

Thank you so much friend! ♥️

[@LoveThemWell]

Yes! I LOVE your outdoor area!

[@HomegrownHomeschool]

What a lovely view to eat breakfast by 😍

[@worldofweeze]

Such a fun, full day! You're a great mom! Thanks for sharing😃

[@RootedHomeLife]

Aww thank you!

[@123samary]

Good morning! Hoping I can’t watch some before work. May have to come back!

[@longashl]

Your kids are so loving. Beautiful video. Nice job momma!

[@priscillaramos3033]

Your porch is beautiful:)

[@LoveThemWell]

That outdoor kitchen is awesome!!! I just love this video so much. Thank you for sharing your day. It's absolutely beautiful:) I want some of those mud kitchen recipes! Checking out that bundle!

[@msmary126]

One morning in Maine!! We live in Maine and read this book every time someone has a loose tooth!! I have 5 kids too.

[@worldofweeze]

You always have the cutest shirts!🌿

[@RootedHomeLife]

Thank you so much! Mostly Target!!

[@LoveThemWell]

Yep! Agree!

[@christinasetzer2880]

I do fold laundry and have everyone put away their own in their drawers but I like the sorting idea way better😁😁 also your oldest picking up the living room 😆 work smarter not harder 😜

[@RootedHomeLife]

Hahaha 🤣

[@LoveThemWell]

I have to figure this "work smarter, not harder" thing out, ha!

[@MoralOrder1]

I love this!

[@oursweetiebirdshome]

The mud kitchen looks amazing!! ❤️

[@RootedHomeLife]

They have so much fun with it!

[@suzanavallis]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!

[@fordfamily-zl9bc]

We are using the 2nd devotional in the series like the one you are using

[@RootedHomeLife]

I want that one next!

[@WilliamTheUnkownShoutout]

This is so perfect😀.

[@heatherlambert4927]

How long would you say your average homeschool day is? How many hours? Your kids seem so gentle and sweet ♥️ Thank you for all the great videos.

[@RootedHomeLife]

I’m so sorry I missed this! Anywhere from 2-4 hours!!

[@bindibelesky384]

We do not fold the kids clothes! They get messed up anyway in their drawers.

[@xanthiamc9469]

What is the time frame of this video? How many hours did this take? It seems exhausting because you all did so many things lol. Very neat how your day incorporates so many different ways of learning.

[@RootedHomeLife]

I think I got up around 7 and the video ended around 5

[@fordfamily-zl9bc]

Do the books come with the summer reading club?

[@RootedHomeLife]

No, just the book guides!

[@dustindalia3380]

What curriculum is the one that says: Chaper two - Nature Study - Beluga Whales?

[@RootedHomeLife]

That is the book guide for the book “The Whale.” It comes as one of 35 book guides in the Summer Reading Club! You can check it out here: www.fortheloveofhomeschooling.com/?ref=7ad95onz28

[@BaileyAcademy]

How do your kids get up without nagging? Your highschooler doesn't do his own classes? Or is he grade 8? Thanks for sharing

[@RootedHomeLife]

Well I typically just let them wake up on their own (unless it’s getting too late), but I essentially don’t nag for anything. Obedience is something we talk about daily and the expectation is to be respectful and obedient. I often talk to them about how I am obedient to God even if I don’t understand because that’s the relationship I want with him, etc…He’s finishing up 9th grade. He does not do separate classes except for math. And you’re so welcome! ♥️

[@brandiehopkins3538]

I love you're channel but I did want to say yoga really isn't something Christians should be doing. Not condemning just saying you should look into it I didn't realize it but definitely something we should know about.

[@RootedHomeLife]

Yeah, it’s really not yoga at all. I honestly wish they named it something else but I think it’s overused as almost a universal blanket term for stretching at this point. It’s like crab-walking, bend over and dangle your arms like a jellyfish…etc., nothing to do with actual yoga-I actually almost mentioned that in the video!

[@RootedHomeLife]

I feel like it’s really important though, so maybe reading these comments will help someone! Unfortunately in our world today we can be clueless to how yoga, magic, spells, horoscopes, witchcraft, Pokémon, anime, music, video games, etc., all have roots in the occult. It really rules out a lot of popular culture.

[@brandiehopkins3538]

@@RootedHomeLife I really love your channel though. This is going to be my first year homeschooling so I really like how you show and explain things very well and I appreciate that. I also love how you were talking about apologetics for kids because I think that is so important.

[@brandiehopkins3538]

My daughter likes anime and I don't like it and I explain to her that it is fake but I know she shouldn't be watching it at all but she's a great kid and I feel terrible telling her the 1 thing she's in to is something that isn't good 😔 its hard being a parent these days especially a true Christian parent! I wish I would've had my eyes open and loved Christ while they were younger but I explained to them I messed up and now unfortunately we all need to change things together. But again thank you for sharing your life with us!!

[@LoveThemWell]

@@RootedHomeLife Yes, no worries. We know your heart. And I call it "yoga"....I guess I just don't know what else to call it. My husband and I have found the stretches to be super helpful as we are aging!

[@ortizblancajazmin]

What time you wake up ? And time to go to bed ? Is very awesome that you are so relax I am not that kind of mom I get stressed so easily 🥹 I have 6 kids 2,5,6,12,13
