{SAYING GOODBYE TO FALL & NOT GIVING UP...}

November 30, 2017 Syreena B

its the last day of november and, just like that fall has slipped away. it is insane how quickly time is passing by and i am trying everything that i can to make it slow down a bit. more hot beverages, more calming music, more quiet time, consolidating errands and FILMING MORE OF THE LITTLE THINGS!!!i knew this was coming, which is why i set out to make more videos and record more memories through vlogsgiving and a few other ways. while i only made it through about half of the vlogsgiving videos that i intended to share, it was good for me so I'm moving onto VLOGMAS now ;)

last week we stepped just outside of our doorstep to find all of these beautiful leaves. we have two huge trees in front of our house that shower us with a tremendous amount of leaves every fall season and i love it. i love what it represents, i love that they spend hours and hours tossing them up and making leaf angels. and we generally spend a good amount of our school days using them for projects and lessons, its my fav.

on this day we pulled out our nature notebook and chose to make leaf art animals! i don't really give any instruction. i just set out a few supplies and join in on the fun. that gorgeous little lady baby of mine has been impressing the socks right off of me lately. i get to spend hours upon hours watching her learn from her brothers, make things her own and its such a blessing to me!!

this is me, still trying to figure out exactly how it is december already :/ november has been a tough one for me. actually, this year has been pretty intense for me over all!!! it has been a different kind of battle. one where i see the evidence of HIS love, HIS grace, HIS provision all over my life and the things i have been setting my hands to. but..... i am tired!!! uninspired!!! and, i have had to take&receive a HUGEEEE portion of grace, which my husband reminded me just last night, WILL ALWAYS BE SUFFICIENT!!! 

"My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

it seems that the more i boast about how HIS power is made PERFECT in my weakness, the more WEAKNESSES seem to be uncovered and it is humbling and frustrating to my flesh. but... I REFUSE to give up!

"let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest of blessings if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9)

In homeschool, in business, in life... I JUST PLAIN REFUSE TO BE DEFEATED!!!!

so, ill keep going! even if i have to crawl, ill keep going. Ill keep pushing through my schedule, apologizing after i loose my patience with the kids, attempting that math problem that is taking two weeks to drive through, fighting through read-aloud time when i could swear they aren't even listening, falling asleep in front of my computer screen trying to finish up an edit, posting things i feel led to post no matter how pointless it may seem, taking risks in business when it seems like i don't have the time or the hustle that it takes to keep up with the "competition"! 

ill keep going because at the proper time i will reap a harvest of blessings if i DO NOT GIVE UP!!!

from syreena, with love

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 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! .

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.
