Last Week of School | Homeschool Family of 12

We finished up our last week of school! It was a lot of work putting together everyone's portfolios, but we are finally DONE and we got to go out and celebrate together on the last day.

Thank you for not covering all the chaos with a voice over or music. I was feeling a bit discouraged with some other KZbin content because I couldn't figure out how to get our schooling as beautiful as some of the other creators I've watched. I had unintentionally glossed over the fact that it was all muted. 🤦‍♀️ Thank you for sharing your real life with us. You have no idea how encouraging and motivating it has been!!

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

You're welcome! Really appreciate this comment. That's exactly why I show it. I want to encourage moms. Beautiful content is inspiring and sometimes that can be helpful when you are looking for ideas. Other times, you just want reassurance and support. I hope this channel helps moms know that homeschooling doesn't have to look a certain way to be really good.

I homeschooled my daughters, but those days are now behind me. It went by so fast! I truly admire your commitment to your family. It's a beautiful thing to watch...even as an empty nester.

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Thank you so much for those kind words!

Applesauce on the ceiling...i had to laugh out loud. Ahhh those moments feel so frustrating, and just one more thing to add to your already "packed "day but I love your biblical encouragement in those moments...."those that are faithful in little are trusted in much". Oh yes...help me Jesus!! Yall are done for the year! Yay enjoy being outside and playing with your kids. Im soooo ready for that this next week!🎉

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

I know...those unexpected messes can make it super tough to have the right response. Thank you! Yes, we are loving a little more free time!

[@kendratai]

So encouraging once again! I love that you are showing your simple meals and I LOVE you cast iron pan!

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Glad to hear! I love it too! It's so handy for large family cooking. You can find it on Amazon. amzn.to/4ahEWfC

Beautiful family! I appreciate glimpses of the chaos too. :) Happy Summer to you & your kids. We school year round but have already switched to our summer routine which is a lite load from May-July.

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Happy summer!

[@lbtk]

Thank you for sharing your life with us!! Love your content and how you keep it real, but it's also so encouraging and inspiring, as always. 🖤

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

I'm so glad to hear that! You're welcome! :)

[@dessymonica6957]

I really love that you show your real daily life as is... the humming was so cute!

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

So glad to hear that!

Wonderful video thank you for sharing your encouragement! This is my first year putting together a portfolio for my daughter and I was starting to feel overwhelmed. I think it’s amazing what you just accomplished! I thought it was going to take me a whole week lol! Your video showed me that it doesn’t have to be so daunting. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! ❤️ Happy Mother’s Day

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

You're very welcome! I'm so glad to hear that this helped you! Happy Mother's Day to you as well!

[@RachelTerry]

Loved this, super encouraging on the hard days or days when it just all feels overwhelming. Do your kids have an in person piano teacher or did you use an online platform?

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

So glad to hear that! Yes, our piano teacher comes to our home once a week. She has been a gift!

[@driftingforward]

Are you in lancaster PA? Oh my, I used to live in Mt. Joy. My husband worked in Reading so cool.

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Yes I am! Oh wow, how neat! It's beautiful country here. Thanks for saying hi! :)

[@LifeLoveLacie]

Hey I’m new, so I’m sorry if you have mentioned this in other videos, but does your state require you do portfolios?

[@brendahowell5946]

I was wondering if I need do this also state required or not.

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

Yes. We are in PA and our state requires you to do a portfolio. To find out what your state requires, I use this link from hslda. hslda.org/legal Even if it wasn't required, I would probably still do it. I like for the kids to have something to show for the year. They like looking back at previous portfolios and remembering what they did.

[@OurLifeHomeschooling]

This link from hslda should help you out. hslda.org/legal
