Once Upon a Book Club Unboxing | Young Adult Teen Novel | The Storyteller
Wow! That was such a great basket! This was something I was hoping to do for my daughter, but she actually got her period like a month after she turned 10! Sooo early. I didn't get mine until I was in middle school.
Oh man! I thought for sure my daughter would have started by now because I got mine in 6th grade.
Thanks for another great video! My daughter is 11, and I’ve started introducing her to similar ideas. Personally, I prefer using cloth napkins, as they are gentler on both your body and the environment. Skin can be quite sensitive during menstruation, and I’ve found that cloth napkins alleviate some of the discomfort I experienced with traditional pads. Yes, they require a bit more effort and can be messy at times, but they are a natural and eco-friendly option. If you're open to it, I encourage you to explore this option!
We cloth diapered and that was enough for me lol!
@@TheMommaLibrarian 😂
This is such a great idea I wish more parents/caregivers would do!
Thank you!
So this is a very over due comment…I have been watching your videos since I had just become pregnant with my daughter (she’s 12 in December) the very first I watched was the bag of items you purchased before being pregnant..became obsessed because of all the cute brands I got to know through the chancel. My now husband is from Texas (I’m from Uk and we live in England) and I go there now wanting to find all these brands and places and he’s like “how do you know all these brands and stores” I’m like oh just a nice lady I watched on RUclips😂. All the consignment hauls..I’m not in a position to homeschool but still appreciate the videos and the birthday/Christmas/Easter videos too for inspo. I have just thought about doing something similar to this for my daughter so I found it great that you uploaded this…all this to say thank you so much for making these and all the book recs are appreciated. You do a fab job
Love this! Thank you so much for commenting… and hanging around for 12 years!! ❤️
Hi! Nice to finally see you. What a great change of video. I too am more confidant showing books and things and not my own face. I too, after doing some research on ADHD have seen myself in what I was reading. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic. It IS hard to be both mom and educator and finding that balance between what works best for your child and also is doable for yourself. Hope to see you again soon 👍
Thank you so much!
Aw, you put snacks in there. You are such a good momma.
Snacks are a must 🤣
This is so kind and thoughtful! I agree, I would have enjoyed something like this when I started my period. Great basket to help her 😊
Thank you!
This was extremely helpful. My daughter is the type of child, I’m learning, who needs a lot of repetition and practice to remember anything that she isn’t interested in. I’m starting to realize why she hates Lightning Literature she can’t remember anything she learned!! I keep thinking I should move to Beowulf Grammar and/or Editor in Chief but those seem similar to Lightning Lit not enough practice. I never considered Fix it! before just now for her, my older one hated it, but it might be perfect for her with all the repetition, and she also does well with quick workbook pages she can get done fast lol thanks again for this. I think our girls and boys are similar respectively, just swapped ages!!! lol
@@TheSecularFreeHomeschool My daughter really struggled with the grammar portion in LL in the past. This repetition has been great for her. And now she’s starting to see it again in Structure & Style so it’s really working for her!
I love to see how others plan. I like to use a digital planner that has expandable boxes. Do you have a video that reviews the length of your homeschool day? Thank-you for sharing.
Not yet! But I do plan to make a video after we finish our first week. Right now it seems to take us about 5 hours (including lunch).
@@TheMommaLibrarian I truly appreciate you taking the time to answer. As my kids get older, I feel like they need more time with certain skills and subjects and not less. I am seeing secular youtubers that I have followed for several years now, say that they are finishing in 3-3.5 hours with more than one kid and I was alarmed. I am a former teacher so I do not skip writing, science, or social studies in our rotated core in addition to the typical ELA and math that most homeschoolers do daily. I would greatly appreciate an overview after you finish your first week.
Also, yes on the critical thinking!!! I agree with you totally there and it drives me batty! 🤪
🤓
Yes. I resonate so much. I like to share what I plan to use but I don’t like to do updates until I’ve used curriculum pretty thoroughly. This means I don’t always update because some things just really don’t work like I planned. I started RUclips in 2010. It was SUCH a different platform back then. It was so much more of a community. I really have struggled with the change to it being more performative over the years. I’m also really struggling now that I have my own curriculum that I write. I want to share about that some on my channel, but I don’t want that to be all I share. I know this curriculum isn’t for everyone. I don’t want people to think they have to use it or even be interested to be a part of my channel. I really am struggling with this transition as well. (Also really struggling with time balance and prioritizing RUclips in general.) It’s so hard too, because I know I have a ton of knowledge and experience, but I don’t want to position myself as an expert. I struggle with knowing what to share that will actually be useful. I don’t like making content just to fill a pre-determined schedule. I hope the videos I make are actually helpful. I agree with so much of what you said. RUclips isn’t what it used to be. There are so many channels I used to enjoy that have become more commercial and I feel like are creating content to get sponsorships or keep up with the algorithm. It’s just not the same.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this comment-thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been watching your channel for a LONG time…like I’m pretty sure I remember when you did a live gender reveal when you were pregnant with your daughter 🤣 I think that your unit study box looks so cool and I so admire your ability to harness all of your thoughts and creativity into such a polished final product, something I wish I could do!
You could use that page at the end for RUclips video ideas or notes on curriculum you'd like to try. If you're anything like me I get ideas at times I can't sit down and follow through on them so I could be an ideas page.
Great idea-thanks!!
Awesome video! I also purchased those Element tiles for my kiddos this year. I loved those pouches, especially that they can be added to any binder or notebook! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching! I have now used all of the pouches so I might need to buy more 🤣
OMGosh, construction paper! LOL No one had ever said it but everyone is thinking it! I didnt even know an electric crayon sharpener existed. Of course I discover that after our crayon era...
I know, right?! 🤣
I got those fidget spinners for math favts for my son. We are doing subtraction now. He juat started 2nd grade. He looooves them!
They are pretty fun! Love that he’s loving them! ❤️
Would love some breakfast prep ideas for homeschool days! Our morning routine is a work in progress... 😬
Ours is, too 🤣 Will share a video at some point when I get it all figured out!
Thank you so much for the flip-through! I'm finding it a bit difficult to figure out which LL level is right for my student because it doesn't have a scope & sequence. I'd especially like to see what grammar and literary analysis concepts are taught week to week. We use Well-Ordered Language, which we love for the in-depth grammar lessons, so my child is ahead in grammar. But we're somewhat behind in literary analysis, unfortunately. I'd like to choose Storm if the lit analysis lessons aren't too dependent on what was taught at the LL grade 6 level. It's hard to tell.
I emailed the company ages ago and asked for a scope and sequence and they never responded to my email 🫤 We have not done LL 6 so 🤞 this goes OK!
Thanks for your reply! I'm sorry, that's frustrating. I don't know why the company wouldn't respond. Better customer service would help homeschool parents be able to plan better, and might help the company sell more of their products.
I’m decluttering an area that has become a hoarder zone and I found 3 separate stashes of index cards! Apparently I expected us to use them like crazy. 🤪
🤣 Apparently my kids have been crafting with them!
😊
🥳
Thank you for sharing! My daughter would love those math fidget spinners. Looks like I'm off to buy a few more things for our upcoming school year. 😂
They are so fun!! Thank you for watching!
Your videos never disappoint! I always leave with great ideas
Thank you!!
Great haul! We get a lot of use out of that timer. And I love your nail color on you! 😀
Thank you!!
😩😩I just went to order and missed the sale. Thanks for showing this so thoroughly.

Thanks for watching!
I love the idea of Torchlight and the book lists are superb; however, I have tried to implement it nearly every year and we can never get with the flow. My kiddo said this year - "oh are we going to do fits and starts with Torchlight again?" HAHAHA! I do take pieces and parts though. Thank you for your updates how things played out for you this summer! I really appreciate all the resources you share.
Thank you for sharing! 🤣
The younger grade paleontology from H&S is definitely secular. Just FYI for viewers.
Thank you! I also have the secondary level and it appears to be secular as well.
Thanks for sharing updates on what you've been using. My son is 7 and in second grade but i love grtting ideas from your channel of things to look at for the future!
You are so welcome!
I'm impressed at how much you got done during the summer! I would love to be a year round homeschooler, but one child is in public school and the other refuses to do anything if he is not in school. I bought kitten math at the same time as I bought Telling Time from the same creator. Looking forward to using it next year. Thanks for the video.
I actually didn’t want to homeschool this summer to the level that we did 🤣 but I had several units that I wanted to do that we didn’t have time for in our normal school year.
I know from previous videos that you've done IEW for writing. How do you feel the Exploring the World Through Story works with the skills and process they learn in IEW for the writing part? Is the approach completely different or can they take what they learn in IEW and apply it here without feeling like they're ignoring other instructions?
I felt like it complemented IEW well. It didn’t use keyword outlines. The first half was spent building sentences in different ways using The Writing Revolution style. Then they worked on intro and concluding sentences. Then topic sentences. Then expanding those with examples. Then revising to include more interesting or detailed words. Then editing. I don’t think that it clashed with IEW at all.
What parts of the Harbor & Sprout curriculum do you use? I purchased the mythology unit but there is so much stuff for like little kids and I didn’t love the math or LA portions, history was also lacking. The science and nature parts seem to be the best parts. Also I thought there would be a lot more videos and books? What am I missing lol 😂
I think Mythology is a patchwork study. I’ve not used any of that type. All the ones I bought are either primary or secondary unit studies so they don’t have all of the preschool stuff added, nor are they broken up by subject, if that makes sense. Depending on the topic, they will have a resource list in the back but it’s not heavy in that like BYL or Blossom and Root are. The unit studies that we have done are set up with modules where you read the information section and the so the notebooking and activity ideas. I think the patchwork studies are different.
@@TheMommaLibrarian oh!!!! Ok that makes so much sense! Lmao 😂 I’m wanting what you have, and it’s not what I bought apparently hahahaha thanks for helping me I appreciate the thorough response!!
Scattered is a theme for Torchlight Curriculum I feel like. Their curriculum has such good bones but I rarely see it work out for people in the long run. Thanks so much for your reviews!!!!
I totally agree! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I would love a whole video on Critical Thinking and/or Logic resources you find value in. I'm really loving your videos on curricula and all the great things you find.
Thank you! I’ll add that to my list of video ideas.
I am curious how you structure your year. How many days a year do you school? It seems like you use a lot of curricula, how do you have time to do extras like these in summer?! We do about 172 days a year and we rarely even get all of our regular stuff done 🙃.
You might find this video helpful: ruclips.net/video/-_3lH7aiE4I/видео.htmlsi=-elIah0jBv9XwJyw This year we did four weeks of “summer school” specifically to do paleontology and climate change because I couldn’t fit them in during the year. Editor in chief, math, etc my kids did daily all summer. Last year I planned too much and had to drop Torchlight halfway through. This past year we did school 36 weeks for our main school year.
Thank you for letting us know about the sale! I just purchased two home economics materials from them!
They look sooo good!
How do you find so many good curriculums to use?? Wow! My daughter enjoys painting, and this would be a good lesson for her weekly art. Thanks!
I’m working through the watercolor one now myself and am liking it!
That was a really good flip through. This looks interesting.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for the flip through!
@@Mamabearjennifer You’re welcome!
We love H&S! Although I like the other style of units better than this style.
I love H&S, too! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the flip through. This looks interesting.
You’re welcome!
This looks like a great unit! Thanks for the flip through.
You are so welcome!
This is an appreciated video! Speaking truth here. :) Thank you for sharing. Not every homeschool video is transparent at all with the true information on the curriculum they are showing!
You are so welcome!
Oh I'd love information on how to test my kiddos.

Love this! Thank you for making it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lmao this just makes me want to make a channel 😂
All opinions are valid, not just mine, so do it!
We have a similar list of pet peeves. 😂 I also think the belief that there is no such thing as behind in homeschool is rooted in privilege. Like many of us don't have the wealth/social connections that give people a leg up as they enter adulthood, but if you do... you can "afford" to be poorly educated.
Great thought on privilege! I never looked at it that way!
I totally agree with everything! I thought your critical thinking pet peeve was going to be that if just doing a logic puzzles workbook is not going to develop critical thinking skills in any meaningful way (which is my pet peeve lol). I think a lot of people don't really understand what critical thinking consists of and either assume it just means "winning arguments", or see any workbook with "critical thinking" or "logic" the cover and just hit buy now so they can say they taught it.
Yes! Thanks for sharing!
I appreciate that you talk about falling behind. I try really hard to get all the things done so that my kids have a better education than what is offered from our school district. I often don’t fit in with other homeschoolers, and this topic is not the exception. I find more like minded homeschoolers on RUclips than in person. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you so much!
I enjoy watching hauls, DITL, homeschool setups, and all of that kind of stuff, but views on RUclips do not translate to success in homeschooling. I hate that homeschooling has become just an aesthetic. THAT is my pet peeve. Sometimes I find it hard to watch homeschool content because of all the product pushing and it seems like nothing is genuine anymore.
I agree!
😊
😁
