- 0:00SPEAKER_01: Welcome to the homeschool revolution.
- 0:02SPEAKER_01: I'm a sister on this for her homeschool moments and for over 20 years, and I've been coaching mom just like you for decades.
- 0:08SPEAKER_01: I've been this messy and working mom.
- 0:12SPEAKER_01: This is happening working mom, single mom, stay at home mom, and yes, yes, too.
- 0:17SPEAKER_01: Any parent who is done with the old way and ready to raise creative competent kids who actually change the world.
- 0:23SPEAKER_01: This isn't just homeschooling.
- 0:25SPEAKER_01: This is revolution.
- 0:27SPEAKER_01: Let's get into it.
- 0:34SPEAKER_01: Good morning.
- 0:35SPEAKER_01: Happy Monday.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: It is a very bright day.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: So I have a special guest.
- 0:40SPEAKER_01: Let's get her in here.
- 0:42SPEAKER_01: You want to come over?
- 0:44SPEAKER_01: See who who knows.
- 0:46SPEAKER_01: Anyone know this face?
- 0:47SPEAKER_01: This is Trish.
- 0:49SPEAKER_01: For those of you who have not met Trish yet, Trish's in my house.
- 0:53SPEAKER_00: We're having a slumber party.
- 0:56SPEAKER_00: I was traveling across the country, and I was like, why not stop and see Becky in person finally for the first time?
- 1:03SPEAKER_01: So Trish and I have we've known each other four years.
- 1:07SPEAKER_01: Four years.
- 1:08SPEAKER_01: She started with my homeschool.
- 1:09SPEAKER_01: Oh, she came joined my homeschool village, and then we brought her on the team.
- 1:13SPEAKER_01: And now she runs my homeschool village.
- 1:15SPEAKER_01: And we had never met in person in four years.
- 1:18SPEAKER_01: And so luckily she was driving by and now she's here for a couple days.
- 1:22SPEAKER_01: And and our kids totally hit it off.
- 1:25SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:25SPEAKER_01: They're just having a blast together.
- 1:28SPEAKER_01: Our 14-year-olds, you'll probably hear them in and out.
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: They're over there giggling.
- 1:32SPEAKER_01: And um, so yeah, so Trisha's here with us live, and we're having fun.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: Yay!
- 1:37SPEAKER_01: We're gonna do facials tonight.
- 1:43SPEAKER_01: So welcome.
- 1:45SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna let you get back to the show.
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: She's sitting on the computer next to me over here.
- 1:49SPEAKER_01: So we'll we'll have her pop in here whenever you don't want me to sit here and smile pretty.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna answer questions on the back end.
- 1:56SPEAKER_01: Okay, she'll be over here answering your questions if you have them.
- 1:59SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Trish.
- 2:01SPEAKER_01: Okay, I know it's so cool.
- 2:03SPEAKER_01: It's so fun when I get to actually meet you guys live and in person.
- 2:06SPEAKER_01: And it's like one of our first both of our comments was like, You're shorter than I thought you would be.
- 2:13SPEAKER_01: So, yes, she's tiny.
- 2:15SPEAKER_01: What are you five thirty?
- 2:17SPEAKER_01: Five three.
- 2:18SPEAKER_01: I'm five four.
- 2:19SPEAKER_01: So we found out we're both short.
- 2:22SPEAKER_01: Hi, Amy.
- 2:23SPEAKER_01: Welcome.
- 2:24SPEAKER_01: All right, so I've been busy.
- 2:27SPEAKER_01: We have all the whole my homeschool village team has been very busy since last week.
- 2:32SPEAKER_01: So let's go over some of the things that went on last week.
- 2:35SPEAKER_01: So we had our first week of classes, much fuller than we anticipated.
- 2:40SPEAKER_01: And up until now, we haven't had you sign up for classes because there's been enough room.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: And we'll have a family with younger kids and a family with older kids all join.
- 2:49SPEAKER_01: And so they join.
- 2:50SPEAKER_01: And we did not know that the science class and the the 50 states class would be so popular.
- 2:56SPEAKER_01: So up until now, we've had them the blue and the red together.
- 3:00SPEAKER_01: Now, just to go over the blue and the red and the color coding, right?
- 3:04SPEAKER_01: Brown is pre-K and kindergarten, blue is first through third grade, red is third, fourth through sixth grade, green is now seventh and eighth.
- 3:13SPEAKER_01: And if you have a child 14 and up, we've moved you over to Bonfire.
- 3:17SPEAKER_01: So this is how we're doing it now.
- 3:19SPEAKER_01: Now, if you have a child, I got this question today who is say eighth grade, the green classes are junior high and they're still the high schoolers are actually joining them from Bonfire, the same classes.
- 3:30SPEAKER_01: If you have an eighth grader or a child who does well in some of those red classes and you want them in there, that's okay.
- 3:36SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 3:37SPEAKER_01: As long as the behavior is appropriate and everything works and the teacher's good, like that's fine.
- 3:42SPEAKER_01: If those classes get full, we'll have to start limiting to age groups.
- 3:46SPEAKER_01: But for now, they can move back and forth until further notice.
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: So, number one, we added, we split up our classes.
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: So if you go to 50 states, I'm gonna bring up my calendar here.
- 4:05SPEAKER_01: Pay attention to your calendar guy this week for those changes.
- 4:08SPEAKER_01: So if you go to the co-op into the calendar, you will now see that.
- 4:19SPEAKER_01: Why is mine showing 50 states to colors still?
- 4:23SPEAKER_01: What just happened?
- 4:24SPEAKER_01: It didn't show that an hour ago.
- 4:27SPEAKER_01: Yes, but it I was literally just in there.
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: 50 states is supposed to be, it's still showing Wednesday at 12 o'clock blue and red.
- 4:44SPEAKER_01: I was in here on Saturday and I had it changed.
- 4:49SPEAKER_01: We're not gonna go to the calendar right now.
- 4:53SPEAKER_01: I had it changed.
- 4:55SPEAKER_01: And it was there, and now it is not.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: It is online.
- 5:02SPEAKER_01: Your homeschool co-op?
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: Are you on this next week?
- 5:05SPEAKER_01: If you go to next week, oh there it is.
- 5:07SPEAKER_01: It's because I'm looking at the week ahead.
- 5:09SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
- 5:10SPEAKER_01: Oh, my bad.
- 5:12SPEAKER_01: Okay, so if you come into God, we got a lot of classes, you guys.
- 5:20SPEAKER_01: 50 states for red is Wednesday at noon.
- 5:24SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 5:25SPEAKER_01: 50 states for blue is Thursday at noon.
- 5:33SPEAKER_01: Yeah, am I not?
- 5:35SPEAKER_01: I'm not seeing it.
- 5:36SPEAKER_01: There it is.
- 5:37SPEAKER_01: 50 states for blue.
- 5:40SPEAKER_01: If your child is third grade and under, you want 50 states.
- 5:42SPEAKER_01: It is now the let well, I say 11 a.m.
- 5:45SPEAKER_01: mountain.
- 5:45SPEAKER_01: I'm central time.
- 5:46SPEAKER_01: So check your times, please.
- 5:48SPEAKER_01: Your local times.
- 5:49SPEAKER_01: Look for your 50 states and for your kids and for the science.
- 5:56SPEAKER_01: Where is science?
- 5:58SPEAKER_01: It's because I think I'm looking for the wrong colors.
- 6:01SPEAKER_01: Do you see science?
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: Survival science on Tuesday.
- 6:07SPEAKER_01: Survival science on Tuesday for green.
- 6:18SPEAKER_02: That's a problem, people.
- 6:24SPEAKER_02: Okay, now we're missing this science.
- 6:27SPEAKER_02: Okay, still working on it.
- 6:29SPEAKER_02: Sorry, it was in here.
- 6:35SPEAKER_02: Thursday red, what time?
- 6:37SPEAKER_02: Oh, right there at noon.
- 6:40SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 6:42SPEAKER_01: Sorry guys.
- 6:43SPEAKER_01: My brain was looking for the wrong color.
- 6:45SPEAKER_01: So elementary science.
- 6:46SPEAKER_01: So come in here, we split those classes, find the right class for your kids.
- 6:50SPEAKER_01: We also fixed geo guessing.
- 6:53SPEAKER_01: Geo guessing or geo guesser, sorry.
- 6:57SPEAKER_01: We found our little struggle with it a little bit.
- 6:59SPEAKER_01: So our older kids are doing geo guesser.
- 7:01SPEAKER_01: We're gonna do um, and then the younger kids are gonna do a Kahoot game, but based around geography.
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: And that so it's just gonna fit them better.
- 7:10SPEAKER_01: So just go to the right class right here on the geo guesser, and it'll still be geography, but we're gonna do it a little differently.
- 7:16SPEAKER_01: This the younger struggle a little bit.
- 7:18SPEAKER_01: So that was good to know.
- 7:20SPEAKER_01: Um click on the list view.
- 7:23SPEAKER_01: Oh, Beth, you're brilliant.
- 7:25SPEAKER_01: Or we can come here and you can see it better.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: So here's our classes in we have our Minecraft competition today.
- 7:32SPEAKER_01: We have elementary explorers.
- 7:35SPEAKER_01: This is the easiest way to do it when you click on this right here.
- 7:39SPEAKER_01: This is your calendar view, this is your list view, and here is where you can actually see it.
- 7:45SPEAKER_01: And it literally is the next class coming up, is in line.
- 7:48SPEAKER_01: Okay, just the next class.
- 7:50SPEAKER_01: So if you open it here, it's the next class.
- 7:52SPEAKER_01: As you'll see, when these colors change, it's a new day.
- 7:57SPEAKER_01: So if you see this color change, it lets you know this is the following day.
- 8:01SPEAKER_01: It's not that day.
- 8:05SPEAKER_01: Okay, so this is all Wednesday, color change, Thursday.
- 8:09SPEAKER_01: We're trying to make this clear with color codes, hoping it's all working.
- 8:13SPEAKER_01: Speaking of color codes, let's go to another change I made.
- 8:17SPEAKER_01: Classroom.
- 8:18SPEAKER_01: If you are new to my homeschool village, this may not be new for you.
- 8:23SPEAKER_01: For those of you who've been here a while, you're gonna see, yes, I made another change, and this is from feedback from many of our very overwhelmed parents.
- 8:30SPEAKER_01: So, what I did is you're gonna start here, it just explains exactly how this works.
- 8:36SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 8:37SPEAKER_01: Then all you're gonna do is take the child.
- 8:41SPEAKER_01: So the how old is your child, and what color are they?
- 8:45SPEAKER_01: Teach your child to find the color that goes along with their age group.
- 8:49SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna go to you love the change, Beth.
- 8:52SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
- 8:54SPEAKER_01: Um yes, yes, Clarissa, that it is gonna change.
- 9:02SPEAKER_01: The geo guesser is gonna be different than what we did last week for the youngers.
- 9:05SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because they did struggle and they didn't understand.
- 9:08SPEAKER_01: So they're gonna actually change it to like a Kahoot where they're gonna log in and they're gonna play games, but it and it will still be geography, it just won't be geo guesser.
- 9:16SPEAKER_01: So yeah, bring him back, put him in this his age group, it will be different.
- 9:21SPEAKER_01: Hey, we are constantly changing and making this better.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: We love feedback, see?
- 9:24SPEAKER_01: We we thrive on feedback.
- 9:26SPEAKER_01: So if you go into the class, the classroom to set up your child, if you only have a kindergartner, all you need is brown and it will explain.
- 9:35SPEAKER_01: And here's I combined in here signing up, getting all the login you need, and your reading and what your schedule looks like.
- 9:43SPEAKER_01: And at the bottom, your week, you have your very own calendar to go with your color of what every day looks like and what to do.
- 9:53SPEAKER_01: So if I go back here, classroom, and I go to the blue, so you have a child.
- 10:00SPEAKER_01: Your child is first through third grade.
- 10:01SPEAKER_01: If you have a child in every color, that's fine.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: Do one color at a time.
- 10:05SPEAKER_01: Set up the one cut, the one kid.
- 10:07SPEAKER_01: In here, you're gonna have first thing, get your family login sheet, print it out so you can write down the logins as you go.
- 10:14SPEAKER_01: Second thing, get your record book so that you can keep track of everything and it explains what to do.
- 10:20SPEAKER_01: Then we're gonna go, here's how you set up your reading, here's how you set up your writing, here's how you set up your math, here's how you set up your science that you will only do on Mondays, here's how you set up your history that you will only do on Tuesdays.
- 10:33SPEAKER_01: Here's your set how you set up art that you will only do on Wednesdays, which we need to check for creative funds.
- 10:38SPEAKER_01: That part was something I forgot about.
- 10:40SPEAKER_01: Um, here to set up your Zoom that you will do with your courses.
- 10:44SPEAKER_01: Minecraft, you need to go, we'll show you that in a minute.
- 10:48SPEAKER_01: Life skills, and then your week.
- 10:50SPEAKER_01: Watch this.
- 10:51SPEAKER_01: Click it.
- 10:52SPEAKER_01: Here's your calendar.
- 10:54SPEAKER_01: Print it out, put it on your wall every day.
- 10:56SPEAKER_01: Read, write, math, Monday, science, Tuesday, history, Wednesday, art.
- 11:01SPEAKER_01: Oh, I tried to take off that Minecraft.
- 11:03SPEAKER_01: Sorry, I will update that.
- 11:04SPEAKER_01: That was supposed to come off.
- 11:06SPEAKER_01: Thursday's life skill, Friday family day.
- 11:08SPEAKER_01: Does this make sense?
- 11:09SPEAKER_01: Am I I'm trying to break it down even smaller.
- 11:13SPEAKER_01: Now, go through, yes?
- 11:16unknown: Yay!
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: Okay, I've got to make the video for this so everybody knows what I'm doing.
- 11:20SPEAKER_01: But before you go to clubs, before you go to Minecraft or chess club, you need to click here and set this up.
- 11:30SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 11:31SPEAKER_01: If you have not been in this area, you do okay, this is for newbies.
- 11:37SPEAKER_01: If you do not yet have a Minecraft account setup, you need to go here first and set everything up before you click on the classroom.
- 11:47SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 11:48SPEAKER_01: If your child goes to classroom to play Minecraft and you have not been through this process, they cannot play.
- 11:55SPEAKER_01: And the reason is because this process takes like 20 minutes, and the teacher who's on Minecraft has to focus on the children on Minecraft, not set up.
- 12:03SPEAKER_01: So if your child is not set up for Minecraft before Minecraft starts, they cannot play that day.
- 12:08SPEAKER_01: So get it done ahead of time because you might need help.
- 12:12SPEAKER_01: You might be having tech issues.
- 12:13SPEAKER_01: We've had people with tech issues.
- 12:14SPEAKER_01: It depends on how old your computer is, how long it's been since you've installed.
- 12:20SPEAKER_01: It can be your internet.
- 12:21SPEAKER_01: There's a ton of things that can go wrong setting up Minecraft.
- 12:24SPEAKER_01: And so we need you to come in and get your Minecraft set up first, then have them go to the classroom.
- 12:30SPEAKER_01: Any child who shows up to the classroom without it signed set up cannot play.
- 12:36SPEAKER_01: And a lot of the kids will come in and be like, Where's my stuff?
- 12:38SPEAKER_01: Where's my stuff?
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no.
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: They have to like we won't even let them in because they don't have it set up.
- 12:44SPEAKER_01: And it's not to be mean, it's to keep the teacher doing what the teacher's there to do.
- 12:47SPEAKER_01: Trisha's the one who helps with the setup.
- 12:49SPEAKER_01: The teacher is the one running the Minecraft.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: She can't help with the setup.
- 12:53SPEAKER_01: Help with that.
- 12:54SPEAKER_01: Questions on that?
- 12:56SPEAKER_01: So please make sure.
- 12:57SPEAKER_01: And also, chess needs a setup.
- 13:00SPEAKER_01: Hopefully, now we did have a couple things we eliminated.
- 13:04SPEAKER_01: There were several places where you would have to fill out a form.
- 13:06SPEAKER_01: We've made that now.
- 13:07SPEAKER_01: One place when you buy, it's in there, it's done, and Trish starts working on it.
- 13:12SPEAKER_01: Um, but I think that that you're all in already, so that shouldn't change anything for you guys.
- 13:19SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 13:22SPEAKER_01: Okay, Beth, I'm glad you liked it.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: Is it clearer?
- 13:25SPEAKER_01: Trying to simplify, always trying to simplify.
- 13:28SPEAKER_01: Anytime you see a place I can simplify, please let me know.
- 13:30SPEAKER_01: I may not see it, but I'm mega focused on more simplification.
- 13:36SPEAKER_01: My 13-year-old did chess club last week and really enjoyed it.
- 13:39SPEAKER_01: Good.
- 13:39SPEAKER_01: I just wasn't sure if he was too old to be in it.
- 13:42SPEAKER_01: He still wants to continue doing chess club, but just want to make sure that's okay.
- 13:45SPEAKER_01: No, he's not too old to be in it.
- 13:47SPEAKER_01: No, 13 is good.
- 13:48SPEAKER_01: Um, they might they they're they're they might divide by ages in there, or maybe they already are.
- 13:54SPEAKER_01: I think they're dividing by ages.
- 13:56SPEAKER_01: So, yes, your 13-year-old can be in chess club and they are dividing the classes.
- 14:00SPEAKER_01: I think I think once you get in there, she puts you in breakout rooms for by age.
- 14:05unknown: I think.
- 14:07SPEAKER_01: Okay, questions on do they have to have chess experience for chess club?
- 14:16SPEAKER_01: No.
- 14:17SPEAKER_01: Part of the part of the experience is teaching them.
- 14:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 14:22SPEAKER_01: We are working as our high school group is growing, we will eventually break the high schoolers off of those classes into their own Minecraft, their own chess club, their own um, those things.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: We're working on those right now.
- 14:36SPEAKER_01: That's something that many have wanted.
- 14:38SPEAKER_01: So as our as that green group, those seventh and eighth graders are growing, we will be breaking off the high schoolers.
- 14:46SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, they only need to log in from Trish.
- 14:48SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Lizzie.
- 14:49SPEAKER_01: Hi, Lizzie.
- 14:49SPEAKER_01: When did you pop in here?
- 14:51SPEAKER_01: Welcome.
- 14:52SPEAKER_01: Amy's here.
- 14:53SPEAKER_01: Hi, Amy.
- 14:54SPEAKER_01: Yvette, welcome.
- 14:55SPEAKER_01: Janelle, hi, Karen, Kelsey.
- 14:57SPEAKER_01: Welcome, ladies.
- 15:00SPEAKER_01: Okay, since you missed the first part, do you want to see who came?
- 15:03SPEAKER_01: My who my special guest is?
- 15:05SPEAKER_01: Because you guys missed it.
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: Here's my special guest.
- 15:11SPEAKER_01: This is Trish.
- 15:13SPEAKER_01: When she's saying get a login from this, is the Trish giving you your logins in case you haven't seen her face before.
- 15:21SPEAKER_01: Trish and I are partying over here.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: I got in last night.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: I've been traveling from to Texas, all around Texas, and then I was like, why don't I just stop in again?
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: Come by Alabama and come meet Becky in person.
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: I have my puppy in the way.
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: Oh, he likes Becky's feet.
- 15:40SPEAKER_01: He's cheating on her with my feet.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: So, yep.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: So we got the next two days to hang out together.
- 15:44SPEAKER_01: So we're gonna do our lives together today, and then it makes me smile every time you pop in.
- 15:52SPEAKER_01: Yes, it's fun.
- 15:53SPEAKER_01: It's fun to have her here and to finally meet after four years is what's the word I'm looking for?
- 15:59SPEAKER_01: Surreal.
- 16:00SPEAKER_01: Yes, yeah, it's surreal.
- 16:02SPEAKER_00: But like we've been in each other's presence for years, you know, and yeah, it's nice.
- 16:08SPEAKER_01: Long talks and hours and hours on Zoom and harnesses, Amy.
- 16:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's been fun.
- 16:14SPEAKER_01: So Trisha's here if you have questions.
- 16:16SPEAKER_01: We'll have her actually answer.
- 16:19SPEAKER_00: I'll be also over here on the back end, as usual.
- 16:23SPEAKER_01: As usual.
- 16:24SPEAKER_01: We've got she's using my daughter's computer on the wall of homeschool over here.
- 16:30SPEAKER_01: I always want to like show you guys the wall.
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: Let me see.
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: Sometimes my cords won't reach.
- 16:34SPEAKER_01: Let's see if I can show you my wall of homeschool.
- 16:36SPEAKER_01: Look, there's Trish.
- 16:38SPEAKER_01: Oh, my it's because I have too many.
- 16:42SPEAKER_01: Anyway, there's two desks here for my two kids while we work.
- 16:47SPEAKER_01: So when I tell you guys you can work while your kids are homeschooled, it's because I'm doing it.
- 16:52SPEAKER_01: Granted, my kids are older, but uh okay.
- 16:57SPEAKER_01: Questions, thoughts, ideas.
- 17:00SPEAKER_01: That's really kind of what I had to show today was the changes I made.
- 17:04SPEAKER_01: Um, and let me just share.
- 17:06SPEAKER_01: Okay, and this is your chance, you guys.
- 17:08SPEAKER_01: What questions do you have about the program?
- 17:11SPEAKER_01: Um, the classes that are happening right now, the changes we've made.
- 17:15SPEAKER_01: And I know people panic sometimes when I make another change, but the point is simplicity.
- 17:20SPEAKER_01: Our entire everything about homeschooling should be around simplicity.
- 17:24SPEAKER_01: I was talking to a mom this week, um, and she was so overwhelmed after just pulling our daughter out of the school system.
- 17:32SPEAKER_01: And it's like, when in the world did they take an education of a child and turn it into some complicated science that, let's be honest, makes absolutely no sense, has overwhelmed an entire generation and burnt out every parent and child in existence on education.
- 17:52SPEAKER_01: And so we're dialing that back.
- 17:54SPEAKER_01: My whole point here is to show you how to simplify education.
- 17:59SPEAKER_01: Education is natural, it's organic.
- 18:02SPEAKER_01: Here we all are like trying to eat our natural or our organic vegetables and no red dyes and no orange.
- 18:09SPEAKER_01: Well, but then we come home and homeschool in the old in the ways that are the red dyes and the same equivalency of poisoned food.
- 18:19SPEAKER_01: And so, um, and not to say you have to go organic, I'm not saying that.
- 18:23SPEAKER_01: What I'm saying is this homeschooling should be done organically in the natural way a child behaves and grows and learns, and the way a family automatically moves around each other, it should not be rocket science.
- 18:37SPEAKER_01: And I know this because my husband's a rocket scientist, so let's simplify.
- 18:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know.
- 18:44SPEAKER_01: Sometimes I'm like, okay, I'm gonna start talking about oops, who in the world?
- 18:52SPEAKER_01: Um my homeschool village is organic homeschooling, which doesn't necessarily look that way because a lot is on the computer, yes, but it is built around the natural way we do things.
- 19:05SPEAKER_01: So the organ, I sometimes I want to put an organic stamp on my website.
- 19:11SPEAKER_01: There's laws that come with that.
- 19:12SPEAKER_01: So I don't do that.
- 19:16SPEAKER_01: I actually checked into it.
- 19:18SPEAKER_01: Um, so yes, organic, think organic.
- 19:22SPEAKER_01: So what I've set up for you in here is an organic way to educate your children.
- 19:27SPEAKER_01: They wake up, they're fresh.
- 19:29SPEAKER_01: This is a good time to do the harder things, the reading, writing, math.
- 19:32SPEAKER_01: The point is they get up, they do reading, writing, math, and it just becomes a flow and a natural habit that they do every day.
- 19:39SPEAKER_01: And if you set this habit up now in pre-K kindergarten high school, when they're older, this is what it will look like as an adult.
- 19:46SPEAKER_01: They will get up and learn something new.
- 19:49SPEAKER_01: Like that's what they'll do.
- 19:50SPEAKER_01: So this, this, and I'll this process happens, and I know it happens because it became one of my habits.
- 19:56SPEAKER_01: It wasn't growing up, and I went to public school, but as an adult, I started getting up and learning something new.
- 20:02SPEAKER_01: I do it while I exercise, I do it on a treadmill, but I do it, I get up and I listen, I read, I and that first morning learn something new will get your day going in ways that nothing else will.
- 20:14SPEAKER_01: And so that's why it's set up where it's like, get up reading, writing math, get up reading, writing math.
- 20:18SPEAKER_01: And then every day go, oh, today we're gonna learn science and dive into it if they want to.
- 20:22SPEAKER_01: If it's a short lesson and they want to go play, fine.
- 20:24SPEAKER_01: If it's a long lesson they want to dive in, you've made room for it.
- 20:28SPEAKER_01: That's why history is just one day.
- 20:30SPEAKER_01: If you want to just sit and read a story and be done, great.
- 20:32SPEAKER_01: If you want to dive into something inside the history and love it, you've made room for it.
- 20:37SPEAKER_01: And if not, go do more creative work.
- 20:41SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 20:43SPEAKER_01: I hope that um I hope I'm helping here.
- 20:45SPEAKER_01: Am I inspiring any?
- 20:46SPEAKER_01: Uh Beth says, Thank you for the math list, Lizzie.
- 20:50SPEAKER_01: It's very helpful.
- 20:51SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Lizzie, for that.
- 20:53SPEAKER_01: Excellent.
- 20:55SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 20:56SPEAKER_01: So our classes are are are extremely not quite full yet.
- 21:01SPEAKER_01: Some of our classes are to the rim.
- 21:03SPEAKER_01: Some of our classes are almost there.
- 21:05SPEAKER_01: We have a few more seats left inside the village.
- 21:08SPEAKER_01: If you have a friend who's been wanting to get into my homeschool village, you better let them know they're running out of time.
- 21:13SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 21:14SPEAKER_01: We are just about there.
- 21:16SPEAKER_01: I haven't closed it yet, only because we have kind of a turnover in the first week.
- 21:22SPEAKER_01: Even public school systems have it where you get people join and then quit in the first week.
- 21:26SPEAKER_01: And so we have kind of a space in there where people who never really kind of start, um, leave, always happens.
- 21:32SPEAKER_01: Um, and so we have a few spots.
- 21:35SPEAKER_01: If you have friends who are wanting in, they better hurry.
- 21:39SPEAKER_01: I can't give a date because I don't know when it's going to fill up, but it's almost there.
- 21:43SPEAKER_01: So just so that you can share that with whoever it may be who wants in, especially those of you making a commission.
- 21:52SPEAKER_01: Some of you are making a dang good commission on some of these.
- 21:54SPEAKER_01: Well done.
- 21:55SPEAKER_01: Bring in your own income while you're sharing the link.
- 21:57SPEAKER_01: Nice.
- 21:58SPEAKER_01: Um, we do.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: Want you to make money, okay?
- 22:02SPEAKER_01: Not just because the program's amazing, the program is excellent for parents.
- 22:06SPEAKER_01: Share it because you want to, but there's nothing wrong with you guys in getting a piece of the puzzle, piece of the pie.
- 22:13SPEAKER_01: What do they call it?
- 22:14SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 22:15SPEAKER_01: Oh, hi Heather.
- 22:16SPEAKER_01: Love the new bonfire calendar.
- 22:18SPEAKER_01: Oh, good.
- 22:18SPEAKER_01: Did it make more sense?
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: I had kids coming in on bonfire and there and they started doing everything and they were overwhelmed.
- 22:24SPEAKER_01: And I was like, whoa.
- 22:27SPEAKER_01: Sorry about that.
- 22:28SPEAKER_01: So I simplified the bonfire calendar as well, exactly what they need to be doing.
- 22:33SPEAKER_01: Um, let's do a little bonfire look, shall we?
- 22:35SPEAKER_01: Especially for those of you who don't even know what's in there yet.
- 22:38SPEAKER_01: So in the bonfire classroom, we have the kids in the co-op have um, these are just to get started what they need.
- 22:47SPEAKER_01: Then they come here, and if they're in the co-op, they start here.
- 22:51SPEAKER_01: And it's the same, I'll click on this.
- 22:53SPEAKER_01: It's the exact same idea as the other one.
- 22:57SPEAKER_01: Every morning is read, write math.
- 22:59SPEAKER_01: Their reading and writing is gonna be um for the co-op, they pick their own book, they do their own journal rating.
- 23:06SPEAKER_01: For the bonfire, we're discussing books for um success, mindset books.
- 23:13SPEAKER_01: And then they're the the co-op will do they're the same schedule that we have in the co-op.
- 23:20SPEAKER_01: The bonfire kids will actually be doing entrepreneurship, finance, ai, that kind of stuff.
- 23:24SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 23:25SPEAKER_01: Okay, Karen, does that make sense?
- 23:27SPEAKER_01: So this one is the co-op.
- 23:28SPEAKER_01: So they'll do history on Monday, Tuesday science, Wednesday, technology, Thursday, art, Friday catch up, and the philosophy class down here.
- 23:37SPEAKER_01: And then the bonfire kids.
- 23:42SPEAKER_01: See, I show it all in here now.
- 23:44SPEAKER_01: Parents of bonfire kids.
- 23:47SPEAKER_01: Oh, and by the way, here's your clubs.
- 23:48SPEAKER_01: They need to they click this to get set up for their Minecraft and chess.
- 23:52SPEAKER_01: Please make sure they're doing that if they haven't already.
- 23:55SPEAKER_01: The bonfire one will come has their calendar as well.
- 23:58SPEAKER_01: But the bonfire is a little different.
- 23:59SPEAKER_01: Today is bonfire day.
- 24:01SPEAKER_01: I'm actually meeting with the kids in bonfire right after this meeting.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: And then we're gonna discuss the books that we're reading together.
- 24:08SPEAKER_01: Right now we're reading um atomic habits.
- 24:11SPEAKER_01: We're gonna set some goals for the week, and then we're gonna talk about the entrepreneurship, get making sure everybody's in today, making sure everybody has the access, the finance, and getting them started.
- 24:21SPEAKER_01: And then Tuesday, they dedicate to bonfire, the entrepreneurship.
- 24:25SPEAKER_01: The they do reading, writing, math, and then dedicate bonfire, the entrepreneurship and the finance classes.
- 24:33SPEAKER_01: Then Wednesday, they can do history and science.
- 24:36SPEAKER_01: Now, how this part works for the parents is up to you.
- 24:40SPEAKER_01: Personally, I think that whether it's history, science, art, tech, whether you require all of it is up to you, or whether you require half of it.
- 24:50SPEAKER_01: I think they're old enough.
- 24:51SPEAKER_01: I mean, it depends.
- 24:52SPEAKER_01: If they're doing all the live classes, that's a lot of stuff.
- 24:54SPEAKER_01: If they're not doing the live classes, I would add back in the technology and art here.
- 24:59SPEAKER_01: So that's up to the parent 100%.
- 25:02SPEAKER_01: If you are looking for college entry, um, I'll show you something.
- 25:11SPEAKER_01: You want to see something cool?
- 25:12SPEAKER_01: Did I show you this?
- 25:13SPEAKER_01: Guys, for high schoolers, I think I put it under parents.
- 25:19SPEAKER_01: Credits and transcripts.
- 25:20SPEAKER_01: Go to the parents section if you're in bonfire.
- 25:24SPEAKER_01: Credits and transcripts, lesson three under parents.
- 25:27SPEAKER_01: And you'll see I've actually broken down all of Bonfire for your credits according to how colleges see this.
- 25:36SPEAKER_01: So right here is your credit tracker.
- 25:40SPEAKER_01: I've even created one for you.
- 25:41SPEAKER_01: So you come in, it explains everything.
- 25:44SPEAKER_01: Here's your weekly log, what their assignment was.
- 25:47SPEAKER_01: Just write down the assignment that was done.
- 25:51SPEAKER_01: And then in here is your credit tracker.
- 25:54SPEAKER_01: So hours logged, earned credits.
- 25:56SPEAKER_01: If they fill this out as they go, when they're done, they'll actually have more credits than most high schoolers do in a year.
- 26:03SPEAKER_01: So if you are looking for college entry, says most high schools graduate a student on six to seven credits a year.
- 26:10SPEAKER_01: A full bonfire year runs eight to nine.
- 26:13SPEAKER_01: They'll actually have more credits than needed, which makes them look even better, not just homeschooled better, but better on their on their college transcripts.
- 26:21SPEAKER_01: And this right here, and I'll tell you right now, our program does not grade.
- 26:27SPEAKER_01: You as the parent decide what grade.
- 26:29SPEAKER_01: You literally put in whatever you want here.
- 26:31SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 26:32SPEAKER_01: If your kid didn't do so, I mean, you can put it as a straight A.
- 26:36SPEAKER_01: And I, yes, we've had this conversation within an admin, and they're like, I'm like, what if I lie?
- 26:40SPEAKER_01: And they're like, well, I guess we'll find out in the win semester if they're failing everything.
- 26:44SPEAKER_01: They don't care.
- 26:45SPEAKER_01: So this allows you to put that in there.
- 26:47SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 26:47SPEAKER_01: Yes, be honest in all your dealings, but also know that it's it's up to you, the parent.
- 26:56SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 26:57SPEAKER_01: So this is inside bonfire if you're looking for that.
- 27:00SPEAKER_01: The tracker.
- 27:01SPEAKER_01: If your kids aren't college bound, you don't need it.
- 27:03SPEAKER_01: You don't need to track it.
- 27:04SPEAKER_01: If you want to, you can.
- 27:06SPEAKER_01: Up to you.
- 27:08SPEAKER_01: Um, and then I hope I hope as parents you're going through this part.
- 27:12SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 27:13SPEAKER_01: Also, let's see.
- 27:14SPEAKER_01: What else do you guys need to know about any questions about bonfire?
- 27:22SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 27:23SPEAKER_01: Not yet.
- 27:25SPEAKER_01: Um so the reading writing for this is bonfire only, or this is co-op.
- 27:32SPEAKER_01: The kids who are in bonfire itself go here.
- 27:36SPEAKER_01: Okay, don't do both.
- 27:38SPEAKER_01: This one shows you the books we're reading and gives journal assignments.
- 27:44SPEAKER_01: Our book list.
- 27:46SPEAKER_01: Let me show you our book list.
- 27:49SPEAKER_01: Here's our book list.
- 27:50SPEAKER_01: Make sure you print this out so you have these.
- 27:53SPEAKER_01: Yes, you can get them, most of them on Kindle.
- 27:56SPEAKER_01: I would love for you to get it physical as well so your kids can learn to mark up a book.
- 28:00SPEAKER_01: It's important to be able to mark up a book.
- 28:02SPEAKER_01: I know some people are like, don't write a book.
- 28:04SPEAKER_01: I'm not, I think it think of it as a textbook.
- 28:07SPEAKER_01: It's they can write in it.
- 28:08SPEAKER_01: You can always buy a new clean book, but it's important that they can write in these.
- 28:12SPEAKER_01: So we have two books a month.
- 28:15SPEAKER_01: I'd love to see how many of you have ever read any of these.
- 28:18SPEAKER_01: Write down the book you've read.
- 28:20SPEAKER_01: We've got Atomic Habits, The Magic of Thinking Big.
- 28:22SPEAKER_01: That's what we're reading in September.
- 28:24SPEAKER_01: October is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and the Richest Man of Babylon.
- 28:28SPEAKER_01: Okay, all about money.
- 28:30SPEAKER_01: In November, we're talking about Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and Secrets of a Millionaire Mind.
- 28:35SPEAKER_01: December is the Jackrabbit Factor, The Science of Getting Rich.
- 28:41SPEAKER_01: January is the seven habits of highly effective people and the go giver.
- 28:45SPEAKER_01: February is start with why and Portal to Genius.
- 28:49SPEAKER_01: March is Can't Hurt Me, by the way, on this.
- 28:54SPEAKER_01: Oh, I love Rich, right, Karen?
- 28:56SPEAKER_01: Um, can't hurt me is full of F words, which is why I gave you the link for the clean version.
- 29:03SPEAKER_01: There is a version where they have removed all of the language.
- 29:06SPEAKER_01: Please get the clean version for your teen.
- 29:10SPEAKER_01: For did you like that?
- 29:11SPEAKER_01: I've been in Alabama too long.
- 29:12SPEAKER_01: For your teen, please make sure I put the link in in the village has the link for the clean version.
- 29:18SPEAKER_01: Everything is figure edible, outwitting the devil, you're the placebo, the warrior poet society, and three feet from gold.
- 29:25SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 29:28SPEAKER_01: And then you just journal what you're reading, and we have some prompts in there.
- 29:31SPEAKER_01: And this is the book list of what your kids will be doing inside Bonfire.
- 29:36SPEAKER_01: Now, clarity.
- 29:38SPEAKER_01: Let me clarify.
- 29:39SPEAKER_01: This is something Trish was telling me I needed to do better.
- 29:42SPEAKER_01: There are three levels in the Bonfire Academy.
- 29:45SPEAKER_01: Level one is basically the co-op.
- 29:47SPEAKER_01: It's the exact same co-op that was over in my homeschool village co-op area, but moved to Bonfire so our high schoolers are together.
- 29:52SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 29:53SPEAKER_01: Level two is the bonfire.
- 29:56SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, there's the Bonfire Co-op.
- 29:58SPEAKER_01: There's Bonfire Academy, which is the upgrade and includes entrepreneurship, more lives with me, um, more, more um, sorry, entrepreneurship, finance, AI, uh investing, all that stuff, plus lives with me, where we're talking more about these things and setting goals.
- 30:18SPEAKER_01: And then there's the VIP, which is one-on-one, where I actually meet with your child every week and keep them on task and keep them keep help them meet their goals, help them discover their own personal interests.
- 30:29SPEAKER_01: We work more one-on-one on the on the specific child, and that's the VIP.
- 30:34SPEAKER_01: So those are the difference between the three levels for anybody who's interested.
- 30:38SPEAKER_01: Okay, there were some comments here.
- 30:41SPEAKER_01: Let me stop and read comments real quick.
- 30:44SPEAKER_01: Um, is there a printable weekly live classes calendar?
- 30:48SPEAKER_01: Yes, I thought I had seen one, but can't find it.
- 30:49SPEAKER_01: I was yes, let me show you.
- 30:51SPEAKER_01: I moved it.
- 30:53SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
- 30:55SPEAKER_01: Okay, go to we're in the co-op.
- 30:59SPEAKER_01: Go to classroom.
- 31:01SPEAKER_01: And here's where I put it.
- 31:04SPEAKER_01: For mom.
- 31:05SPEAKER_01: Okay, click on for mom and scroll down to printable class schedules.
- 31:14SPEAKER_01: There you go.
- 31:17SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 31:19SPEAKER_01: You want me to do it again?
- 31:23SPEAKER_01: One more time.
- 31:25SPEAKER_01: Classroom.
- 31:27SPEAKER_01: For mom.
- 31:30SPEAKER_01: Printable class schedules.
- 31:33SPEAKER_01: Get your time.
- 31:34SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Lizzie, for that one.
- 31:36SPEAKER_01: I'm glad my kiddo isn't little anymore, but I'm so not ready for her to be high school agent.
- 31:41SPEAKER_01: Yeah, none of us ever are.
- 31:44SPEAKER_01: I read Rich Dead Poor Dad, love it.
- 31:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 31:46SPEAKER_01: Love Atomic Habits and Rich Deadpoor Dad.
- 31:48SPEAKER_01: Both excellent.
- 31:48SPEAKER_01: I've read about five of those.
- 31:50SPEAKER_01: I've read and own at least half of those.
- 31:52SPEAKER_01: Look at you, ladies.
- 31:53SPEAKER_01: You go.
- 31:54SPEAKER_01: Is there a printable weekly live classes calendar?
- 31:56SPEAKER_01: I thought I had seen one.
- 31:57SPEAKER_01: Okay, just did that.
- 31:58SPEAKER_01: Atomic Habits has a workbook you can buy along with the book.
- 32:01SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Heather.
- 32:03SPEAKER_01: I didn't think about pulling that out.
- 32:04SPEAKER_01: I need to pull that out.
- 32:06SPEAKER_01: Uh Beth, I can't find the printable your week at a glance for red.
- 32:12SPEAKER_01: Red.
- 32:16SPEAKER_01: I may have messed up.
- 32:19SPEAKER_01: Um, your week red.
- 32:25SPEAKER_01: Oh god, I did it right.
- 32:26SPEAKER_01: And why is the Minecraft still on there?
- 32:28SPEAKER_01: I changed it.
- 32:29SPEAKER_01: I must have uploaded the wrong one.
- 32:30SPEAKER_01: I'll get that off.
- 32:31SPEAKER_01: So classroom, red.
- 32:35SPEAKER_01: Scroll down, your week red.
- 32:38SPEAKER_01: Maybe I need to put those at the very top.
- 32:56SPEAKER_01: Isaac, trish, trish, Isaac.
- 33:07SPEAKER_01: Yeah, if you haven't need to go sit in the sun for a minute.
- 33:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the house is a little chilly.
- 33:12SPEAKER_01: We froze, we froze her last night.
- 33:15SPEAKER_01: We sleep cold.
- 33:16SPEAKER_01: Like we put it at like 68, and the house gets chilly and we sleep really, really well.
- 33:20SPEAKER_01: But poor Trish, we didn't know we were gonna freeze her to death.
- 33:25SPEAKER_01: Tonight she's getting a heated blanket.
- 33:29SPEAKER_01: And it's summer at 100 degrees outside, and we're with heated blankets indoors.
- 33:33SPEAKER_01: We're ridiculous.
- 33:34SPEAKER_01: Oh, Heather's like, oh, she's there.
- 33:36SPEAKER_01: You missed it, Heather.
- 33:37SPEAKER_00: Yes, Trish is here.
- 33:38SPEAKER_00: Like right there.
- 33:39SPEAKER_00: So it's so weird.
- 33:40SPEAKER_00: Hello.
- 33:41SPEAKER_00: Um, it's so weird.
- 33:43SPEAKER_00: I like the cold air though, but my body has to be warm and cuddled, and but I like breathing in the cold atmosphere.
- 33:51SPEAKER_00: Does that make sense to anybody?
- 33:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's it.
- 33:55SPEAKER_00: There's Heather.
- 33:56SPEAKER_00: We do the same thing.
- 33:58SPEAKER_00: It's always 68, Heather.
- 34:00SPEAKER_00: Oh and it's weird that it's different in the different homes that you're in because I keep it at 68 and 65 at night in ours, but I was freezing.
- 34:11SPEAKER_00: Oh, I couldn't get to 65.
- 34:13SPEAKER_00: We would freeze.
- 34:14SPEAKER_01: We're at 75 right now and it's cold in here.
- 34:17SPEAKER_01: I know.
- 34:17SPEAKER_01: See, it's just weird.
- 34:20SPEAKER_01: I'll take it to me.
- 34:21SPEAKER_01: We're not trying to turn her into a popsicle.
- 34:24SPEAKER_00: I still slept good.
- 34:27SPEAKER_00: After that long drive.
- 34:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no kidding.
- 34:29SPEAKER_01: 14 hours at four in the morning.
- 34:32SPEAKER_01: Oh, Heather's wearing a sweater in the middle of Arizona.
- 34:36SPEAKER_01: By the way, um, so yeah, it looks like I had accidentally locked that.
- 34:40SPEAKER_01: So go click it again, refresh it, click it again.
- 34:43SPEAKER_01: It's I I swear I went in and unlocked them all.
- 34:46SPEAKER_01: I don't know what happened, but you know what?
- 34:50SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
- 34:51SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 34:51SPEAKER_01: So yeah, it should be working now.
- 34:54SPEAKER_01: Go let me know if it doesn't.
- 34:55SPEAKER_01: Will you check it again, please?
- 34:57SPEAKER_01: Okay, Amy says, totally get it, Trish.
- 34:59SPEAKER_01: I'm the opposite way.
- 35:00SPEAKER_01: Love warm air, but need cold to sleep.
- 35:02SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 35:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I like it.
- 35:04SPEAKER_01: So we'll I keep it cold in here, and then as soon as I I go sit out in the sun and I bake, and then I come back in and get cold, and then I go out and bake, and it's it's kind of funny, but you got it.
- 35:14SPEAKER_01: Okay, so it's working.
- 35:15SPEAKER_01: Yay! Yay, yay.
- 35:19unknown: I know.
- 35:20SPEAKER_01: And then people wonder like menopause comes on and we have hot and cold flashes, and we're like, well, we have been doing this to ourselves for years, so maybe and then we complain.
- 35:29SPEAKER_01: Well, because I'm not controlling it.
- 35:34SPEAKER_01: Okay, so other questions.
- 35:36SPEAKER_01: What else is this easier or did I make it harder?
- 35:41SPEAKER_01: I need the feedback because I want to make sure I'm not making your lives harder.
- 35:46SPEAKER_01: Every few months, I will we'll hear we'll hear little complaints here and there, and I have to really ponder it and work it and think it through.
- 35:55SPEAKER_01: And then when the when the thought comes, like that's how it's gonna happen.
- 35:59SPEAKER_01: Then we get it done.
- 36:00SPEAKER_01: So finally the the vision came.
- 36:02SPEAKER_01: You like the color coded.
- 36:04SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 36:05SPEAKER_01: I would just like to say Lizzie is the original color coder of my homeschool village.
- 36:10SPEAKER_01: She came in and started doing that color coding, and it just clarified the world.
- 36:16SPEAKER_01: So thank you, Lizzie.
- 36:18SPEAKER_01: For they're throwing cards, um, for getting started on the color coding and doing that.
- 36:24SPEAKER_01: And let's let's we're gonna really embrace this color code um all the way.
- 36:29SPEAKER_01: I it was all about branding at first.
- 36:31SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, no, no, no, forget branding.
- 36:32SPEAKER_01: Let's just get this so that we can see and follow the line.
- 36:35SPEAKER_01: So it will continue to do that more and more as time goes on.
- 36:41SPEAKER_01: You're welcome.
- 36:42SPEAKER_01: I took my original color code for my family and adjusted it for all families, and ta-da! It's working.
- 36:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah, thank you, Lizzie.
- 36:49SPEAKER_01: There's a ton of information and it seems a bit overwhelming, but then when I started exploring more, it is definitely easier once you start using it.
- 36:55SPEAKER_01: Okay, thank you, Beth.
- 36:58SPEAKER_01: Are you guys hearing the kids in the background?
- 37:02SPEAKER_01: They're having fun.
- 37:04SPEAKER_01: I don't want to shut them down, but no, if they say no, no, they say they can't hear you, so you're good.
- 37:09SPEAKER_01: Nobody can hear you.
- 37:12SPEAKER_01: Keep it clean.
- 37:15SPEAKER_01: You can't hear them?
- 37:17SPEAKER_01: Perfect.
- 37:17SPEAKER_01: They're they're throwing cards, they've been playing airsoft.
- 37:21SPEAKER_01: Joe and Ben and Nicole get along.
- 37:25SPEAKER_01: I Nicole was like, this is a little bit fine.
- 37:27SPEAKER_01: Nicole's like, am I gonna have to babysit two 14-year-olds?
- 37:30SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, no, they're old enough, leave them alone.
- 37:33SPEAKER_01: And now she can't stop playing with them.
- 37:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she's having a good old time.
- 37:38SPEAKER_01: So Joe was earlier.
- 37:41SPEAKER_01: She made breakfast.
- 37:43SPEAKER_01: Joe was even earlier.
- 37:44SPEAKER_01: He's like, Where's Nicole?
- 37:45SPEAKER_01: She should be hanging with us.
- 37:46SPEAKER_01: Let's go find her.
- 37:49SPEAKER_01: I'm telling you, let's find your husband a job down here.

- 38:08SPEAKER_01: I am gonna start.
- 38:09SPEAKER_01: I I have to start closing this a little sooner now, you guys, because bonfire starts at 11.
- 38:15SPEAKER_01: And in case I need a bathroom break before bonfire starts, because bonfire is gonna be one to two hours, depending on their needs.
- 38:21SPEAKER_01: So I am showing up to bonfire at 11 o'clock my time.
- 38:24SPEAKER_01: And um, we're gonna be in there and we're gonna work together.
- 38:27SPEAKER_01: And we're gonna, and if I if they need me for four hours, I'm there four hours.
- 38:30SPEAKER_01: If they need me for 30 minutes, that's fine.
- 38:32SPEAKER_01: But we're gonna be going through all of these things.
- 38:35SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna make sure they're in anyway.
- 38:36SPEAKER_01: So make sure your kids, those of you who have kids, 14 and up, should be um, well, actually, it's the bonfire only.
- 38:43SPEAKER_01: So if they're in the co-op, they don't need the live on Monday, and so they don't have access to it.
- 38:48SPEAKER_01: But if they are, if you have upgraded to Bonfire Academy or Bonfire VIP, please make sure your kids are there at 11.
- 38:55SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 38:55SPEAKER_01: And we'll we're gonna make sure they have everything lined up.
