{THIS SEASON...}

October 17, 2017 Syreena B

we packed a few bags and took a walk before lessons yesterday. mommy's favorite season has arrived and it seems that i write about it every year. it is the time of the year things start to slow down and my heart always finds itself in a very open place. open to the change that surrounds me. and, it is different every single year. this year, change is most evident in our homeschool life. in the way we learn and grow together. i've learned to trust HIM and follow HIS leading in our lives more than i have ever before. and it is, most certainly, a result of HIS faithfulness over these last four years. 

planning is one of my struggles in homeschool. it can become such a crutch if i allow it. a major source of frustration and disappointment when i find myself going against the tide in our school days. a lot of yelling and whining! a lot of doubt and defeat. and, none of that is GOD! 

i always thought that plans succeed by the amount of preparation that you put into it. but, i am learning that when i commit to HIS plan for our life and our homeschool, it is HE who prepares both, my heart AND the way. all i really do is submit my plans to HIM!

"commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." (proverbs 16:3)

today, all of my "plans" are prepared and ready to begin our human body unit. and, instead of prepping the chalk wall and setting out all of the printables and resources i felt led to take a walk! we walked through the trail, they ran and i recorded. they often wandered off and i steered them back onto the path over and over again. it was MY LESSON that HE would always be near me to put my heart right back on the path when i've wandered off a bit.

the Spirit of the Lord leads our school days. whether they are full of laughter, joy, tears or frustration... HE is here! i've gathered all of our materials for our unit study on the body but i look to HIM to teach us ALL THINGS! "but the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." (john 14:26)

when the seasons change i hold tight to all the lessons i have learned and look to HIM to help me walk with them in mind.

A BIT ABOUT ME

I'm Syreena, a homeschooling mother of three (ages 5, 7 & 9) and believer in GOD-GIVEN dreams. I'm convinced that “MOMS MAKE THE BEST TEACHERS”, and that "MOTHERHOOD IS MY SUPERPOWER”. Laced w/honesty, transparency & joy, I spend my days putting my actions where my dreams are. We are a family of storytellers who own a visual media company, a faith-based clothing brand w/ a kids line where our HOMESCHOOL KIDS are IN BUSINESS and are committed to being a vessel of love. On a JOURNEY to fulfill God's purpose, WE DESPERATELY WANT TO TRAVEL THE WORLD AS A FAMILY AFTER THE HEART OF GOD. To let go, and let the Lord use us, we live everyday letting FAITH + LOVE shape the story of our lives!

^^^ this is all stuff that i wanna be ^^^

and this is the story of how i am getting there, a.k.a "the journey" >>>>>>

pretty pictures, but the struggle is real!

THE FALLCO FAMILY CHANNEL

THE FALLCO FAMILY VLOG CHANNEL

MY INSTAGRAM

When you make a TON of videos 🎥  whenever you can, you totally forget to share that you’ve posted them 🤦🏾‍♀️ I’ve been working on my consistency with both of my channels and it’s been such a discipline but also SO worth it.  Fun bonus points for anyone who can guess my posting schedules ?! 🤷🏽‍♀️🎉 .
.
.
Shared Big News on our main channel and telling all about the journey on our vlog channel because memory keeping lights my soul on fire 🔥! Thank you to everyone who has followed along and offered up so much love, support and encouragement along the way.
In my videos 🎥 our tag line goes something like “where homeschool is life, and having a teachable spirit is our #1 goal!” But, in its simplest form, NEVER STOP LEARNING is what helps us uncover all the lessons in our days .... SO ME, and exactly what I tell my babies, Every. Single. Day!!!
.
.
Use curriculum, use websites, use books, use apps, use songs, use real life, use made up stories. Whatever you use, just don’t stop learning!
.
.
 I don’t consider my feed a “homeschool account” I’m just a girl who happens to homeschool her babies and is making every effort to do this thing by Faith and with All The Love in her heart. But, I get so many questions about how I teach them ‘this’ or how they learned ‘that’, and I while I am happy to share as best as I can, the methods may change and the resources may differ but at the heart of it we endeavor to have teachable spirits and to NEVER STOP LEARNING! 🎵 Everyday... is a blessing. In every way... it holds so many lessons, That we... are ready to learn! 🎶 did I mention that we make up songs as our confessions of faith ALL THE TIME?? 👀 please don’t ask me to sing them . Some things just have to stay in the walls of our home 🤣😂 #FriennnddddCantSing😩
We are about half way through our “book year” and our experience is exceeding my expectations! It’s just a year dedicated to READING and learning through STORIES. I made it a “thing” gave it a name and pumped them full of excitement using a few creative ideas 💡 here and there. .
.
I’ve been working to finish up a video 🎥 pouring out the details and the things I’ve learned thus far but it’s hard! Selecting books is hard and recommending them is even harder. There are so many different ways to view a story. What is good to one might be difficult for another. It’s hard! But, I will say that it’s worth stumbling through. It’s worth reading and discussing, abandoning a particular story and choosing to press your way through  another. Dedicating even more time in our homeschool days to sticking our noses inside the pages of so many books has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in our little homeschool life. .
.
Also, the best stories are the ones with robot voices and a British accent (your friend’s really good at a British accent lol)
Sweetest thing I’ve ever known 💕

Even if just for a couple of hours I get to be a tiny part of your love’s story, for that I am grateful! Brandon & Amanda, thank you for allowing me to be your memory keeper 📸 for such a beautiful time in your lives ❤️ With All the Love ~Syreena
It’s been a while since we posted on this page but that’s only because we’ve been really busy.  A few weeks ago we had the privilege of capturing Brandon and Amanda’s engagement shoot...more to come! ~B

“OH HAPPY DAY!” Restocking stickers today! 🎉 Packing orders is one of my favorites. I love this sticker because it reminds me that it’s our job to add happiness to our days. .

“This is the day that the Lord has made , we WILL rejoice and be glad in it!” (Psalm 117:24)
People (= me) romanticize their plans but dread the execution. (= currently ME). The magic you're (= I'm) looking for is in the work you're (= I've been) avoiding 👀...
.
.
It has taken me two years to realize that I need ACTUAL help around here, that the vision was NEVER meant for me to carry out alone. And, that FAITH also looks like bringing friends along to help cover some of your weak spots. Here’s to learning the lessons, doing better and having fun building with friends 🎉
Fear is a dead end but faith always has a future! .

#LessonsIWantMyBabiesToLearn #thefallcokidLessonsInLove
Hello... is this thing on?? 🎤 So, it's been a while! And, the truth is... social media is not my strong suit and I need HELP!.
.
.
It has taken me two years to realize that I need ACTUAL help around here, that the vision was NEVER meant for me to carry out alone. And, that FAITH also looks like bringing friends along to help cover some of your weak spots.
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.
I am so grateful to have been gifted friends who believe in the vision that God has given me. Ones that I can love on with all of my heart.
.

Proverbs 18:24 (KJV)
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
