- Sometimes it can take years to make hard decisions and find contentment in life. For me, saying goodbye is how I hope to do just that.
I will be sharing on my blog: A Common Life, so go follow me over there and, as always, I'll be on Instagram.

I am married to my best friend and the mama to five amazing kiddos ages 6-14 (4 boys and 1 girl) who we homeschool while trying to find peace amidst the chaos and working together toward a common life. I post videos a few days a week. I love getting to know my subscribers, so please comment below. I try to respond to every comment!

Wish I seen your channel beloved before but better late then never but u rock!!! You got this momma
You are not giving up, you are changing gears. All the best to you and your family.
As a mom of a SPDer I greatly appreciate your real life input on doing life as a family. Thank you! Our family benefitted from your openness. Also I understand letting go of something's to relieve stressors!
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. You will be missed for sure. You were one of my initial follows when I was considering homeschooling and gave me so much confidence that I could actually undertake such a grand dream for my family. Thank you again for the light and wisdom you shared with all of us over the years.
Sorry you have such busyness. Family is always first, but yourself is more important because you are the rock of your family. You take care and like you said need down time not to drain you. Take care gonna miss you and your wonderful family.
Understand where you are coming from! I feel this way about Insta- hardly post much. But happy follow people who lift me up. Glad you will still be there. For what it’s worth, you helped me have the confidence to homeschool- only took me a few years to pull the trigger. And honestly, on the ‘new homeschool’ videos- a lot are newer folks and don’t really share anything valuable 😬 Some do- but, I like to reference experience - tried and true. UA-cam would suck the life out of me- thanks for sharing your journey for so long. Cheers to your next chapter!
Still following you on Instagram; I will miss your videos, but definitely understand what you are doing and I totally agree that we all need to do those optional things that bring us joy. Who needs to add more stress to our lives??? God bless, Michelle.
I'll miss your videos but I get it. I blinked and my eldest just turned 29! It is so easy to be so busy that the moments just whirl by and before you know it the babies are adults living their own lives. I often feel sad that I don't really remember my 3 kids growing up as we were going to school things, sport, dance lessons, music lessons etc etc etc. I am so grateful having a 9 year old now who I homeschool and spend lots of quality time with (and yet still feel too busy and exhausted).
You will be missed. I have always loved your videos. There are so many homeschool channels now, but you were always one of my favorites.
I am happy that you are finding your way to an authentic contentment in your days. But I am sad that you are going as well - who will I watch while I brush my teeth? 🤣 So thankful that I get to see you in the real world. 🤗
Dropped by to let you know you’re missed
That is so sweet of you! Thank you ❤️❤️
You have helped so many people. So many!
I don’t know if you’ll see this but you have helped me so much! Thank you for taking your time to share your life and share about sensory issues with kids and just be a safe space for me to know my kids are okay too. I am definitely going to find you outside of here now that im caught up on where you are at. You have blessed this mama! So thank you again for giving to this space when you did! ((Hugs))
Thank you for your kind comment ❤️❤️❤️. Please find me over on IG. I would love to connect
Come back Michelle! At least once a week. We keep you and your family in our prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I understand where you are coming from, but I will miss your videos. Even homeschooling from the beginning like we have this new phase of high school (eeks!) I miss having people who are dealing with homeschool and that phase of life. Also I think chronic illness is something that I know you didn’t talk about a lot but with new acronyms here, finding people who understand is hard. I hope you will leave your videos up for some of us to reference. I will go find you on IG if I haven’t already, I’m a newbie there, and I wish you and your family well.
Awe, I so so feel you and hear your heart 100% !
I’m a big soul searcher all the time.. lol but I totally get what you’re saying!
Prayers for your peace and joy! As long as you have thought about it all and know this is right then you should 100% do it!
I’m all for putting God and Family first.
❤
I'll miss you.
Hi
When I took a break and came back, I could/can feel how I got out of the loop/algorithm like you mentioned. But it is a creative outlet for me. When I have to/need to stop can/will as I’ve done. I have slowed down and of course life was been hard/changed a lot lately. Just wanted to say do not feel like a failure like you said, and yes, be at peace with your decision. Love you, friend. 💗
I’ll miss seeing your videos Michelle, but I’m glad you’ll still be on IG. I totally can identify with how you’re feeling. You really have to do what is best for you and your family. 💕
Family is first! I have gotten a lot out of what you’ve shared over the years! I pray God will bless your family with peace knowing you’re following the prompting to let this go and focus on your family and other passions!
Wow you look so beautiful can we chat on hangout
You are one of my favorite homeschool moms. I’ve learned so much from you. But I hear you. It’s been a difficult year for everyone, but I can imagine you have more on your plate than most. Praying you and yours stay safe and healthy. ❤️
I loved your words. I feel like I’m in the same boat. We started at about the same time and I have the same feelings. You’re conversation really helped me settle with putting this chapter aside.
I hear you. 2019 was very hard for us as well and was really looking forward to 2020. But this year makes last seem like a fairy tale. I've had to take a step back as well. Such a hard decision. Love you. Will miss you. :-( But totally understand.
I took a break from UA-cam 3 months ago, pretty sure I’m not going to come back. I had to take a step back and take care of my mental health. I quit all social media too, other than watching some UA-cam for fun. I don’t regret it, I’m using this time to take care of myself. I hope you find that time to take care of yourself too mama. ♥️
Thank you for being an incredible inspiration!!! I hope you leave your videos up as they are so helpful. I will be praying for you and your family. Thank you for everything!
I respect this decision...I guess I'll have to go to Instagram more often because you and your family are a bright spot in the internet universe! Blessings from JoCo, NC!
I just subscribed to your channel after watching your curriculum overview, and then saw this video. How sad...
But I'm glad that you are doing what you need to do. I do hope that you consider coming back to UA-cam when it works for you and your family. The video I saw was so helpful and the curriculum you chose was well thought and very unique. I feel like your channel pound reach many families.
Hope this message gets to you somehow!
I totally understand your decision. I've taken many much needed breaks and have no regrets. So glad to have connected with you on here and I look forward to keeping in touch on Instagram. Thank you for all the light you bring to the world. 💙
I didn't get the notification of this video until now. I do understand where you are coming from I'm in the same place. Feeling overwhelmed and stressed. I sure will miss you. When I fix some of your breakfast meals that you shared in a past video, I think of you & think how I'm so thankful for you sharing them because my family loves them. Take care of yourself & your family!❤️
I will miss you so much! I completely understand and thankful for your Instagram I love following over there.
I can totally understand how you feeling . Will miss you.
Sometimes stepping back and letting things go is the best way to move forward. I hope you find your peace, comfort and joy.
I hope your decision brings you a lot of fruit in your life. Take care. ❤
Totally understand. I hope you find the peace and rest you are seeking ❤️
Hi I started following you 4yrs ago I started homeschooling 5yrs ago...one I was scared to start and needed help, two I was happy to find a catholic homeschooler, three I needed people to relate to. I want to thank you! But, never feel like you failed be proud of yourself for knowing when it’s time to move on! I don’t do any other social media for the same reason you say that it doesn’t fill your bucket and I’m already too busy. I use YT as a learning tool. I’ll definitely look at your blog. Thank you for your videos and the time you dedicated to them.
Sounds like this was a hard decision. I will miss seeing your videos but bravo for doing the best thing for yourself at this moment in your life. I’m not a UA-camr but I’ve had to make some very hard decisions regarding where to spend my time lately as well. Wishing you all the best going forward!
I'm sad to see you go :( I hear ya though, I have posted regularly for a long time but skipped a week this month because I just didn't feel like it. 2020 has been hard!

Will miss you! Maybe will see you if you ever decide to come back🤞
I totally understand and can completely relate ❤ I'm ready to say goodbye to my phone...to be honest. I cheer you on for your decision!! You will feel so liberated ❤ I just want to say that your SPD videos have helped me to be able to understand and help my 1st grader deal with SPD. She has not been diagnosed by a doctor but she definately has 8 of the stronger signs of SPD... So those encouraged me ❤ I'll check out your blog I'm not big on social media - I do love reading blogs though! 😁
