YES! We are new to homeschooling and I love watching reviews! I watched one video of a woman explaining how she stopped using a very popular curriculum and after she explained why it didn't work for her, I ordered it because it was EXACTLY what we needed!!

[tumaestra]

This is my go to video now!!!! Second or third time watching it so far to ensure my reasons for changing something is justified and beneficial.

[Raising_Arrowsx]

Yes! and I for one am so thankful how you do your youtube and show how you homeschool so others can see. Ive said before I learned to homeschool through watching you and as i am about to go into our third year ( wow its crazy to say that) I am learning whats working and whats not.

[irinak]

First two years of homeschooling I felt like I was hopping around with curriculum. We are finishing up our third year now, and I can finally say we found most of the curriculum that works for us as a family and individuals. Going forward I find myself having the same thought process as you mentioned in this video.. I look forward to seeing what you have chosen for your upcoming year especially for your high schooler.

I agree! I feel odd sometimes because I don't change curriculum around much. It makes my head spin to jump around so much🙃 Lol. Thanks for sharing your tips!

[jessicalantz]

Thank you for the reminder to not fix what isn't broke! I've been trying to figure things out for next year and getting so overwhelmed. Love your advice to set aside the things that work!

[CultivatingHarmony]

💫I love seeing what others are using and sharing online helps making those decisions so thank you☺

Hi Ashlee, I haven’t watched in a while but thought I’d have a look at your channel and saw this video and this is your best one yet! You have been such an encouragement and this video really helped to speak to me. God revealed a lot

[valmerlos]

I know the Lord led me here bc I wasn’t even searching for this 😭 learned so much!

[amberribeiro]

Such a timely video for me! 🥰 Thank you for doing the video!

So true, I know a mom who was excited about her decision to homeschool and when she started researching curriculum she changed her mind. So sad, it could be overwhelming for sure. I know I was but moms here on YT were a blessing

[BaudelaireOrphan]

Great video! Prayer is so important because there are many things out there that we may not agree with or that may not align with Gods word... .that is why we mainly homeschool

I change to find right one. Now I do not change because what we have is work but I do add stuff over the years.

[wereadalot]

Agree with the need for consistency. My kids thrive on it. I try and only change one major subject per year unless there is just a major issue. Last year we were at a switching point and changed 2 and man it was a lot to research and choose and I felt like I expended so much time and brain power on it but now we are back in a groove and not having to change a lot.

[kariweddle]

Making a change next year and going family style for science and history. I am just like you and don’t like switching just because. Each of my kids have always just done their level of those subjects the last few years and I have made it work but this year the making it work was just way more than I ever thought it could be. After looking around at family style I started to realize just how badly we needed that change to smooth out some of the bumps we were experiencing. So thankful for Mom’s like you who put out content for other moms to check things out without having to buy it all just to see it all 😁

[jerilyn-ourhomeschooltable]

I completely agree! Don’t change something unless it’s not working anymore or your child needs something different. Stick with things as much as possible. It’s helped my daughter become very independent. 🥰 I just ordered my Sonlight Core today and then I’m done shopping for next school year! 🤩🤩 I still love learning about curriculum, even if I have no plans to change things. 🥰

[kayeanne]

We are winding down our 8th year of homeschooling and I'm just now this year Truly understand and seeing fruit of CONSISTENCY....I flip flopped a LOT over the years, this year I still had a couple issues but once we became consistent with both our schedule And our resources, I really saw the beauty and benefit of it for all of us,
and the learning and growth ❤

[jamiewagner]

This was good! Thank you so much for emphasizing the importance of prayer in making curriculum decisions! Have a great week!

[theyrecalledharbularybatte]

First year of homeschool, and first year using TGATB. I can honestly say we have had an amazing year. I didn't think I could do it. I have three boys 3, 6, and 9. I was able to combine my 6 and 9 year old for the same year curriculum as my oldest is slightly behind and my 6 year old is very advanced. It has worked surprisingly well. Plan to do the same thing next year.

[ShardaeRenee]

I'm so glad one of your points was prayer! 🙏🏾So much money can be saved if some families would submit their plans/intentions to the Lord.

God gave me direction on what curriculums to use for what subjects for my family and I'm so thankful that I didn't have to go through multiple curriculum changes. Now when I buy stuff I buy the consumables for all 3 of my kids. Saves me money and time!

Thanks for sharing!❤️
