Father’s Day

June 22, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  Father's day morning we let Papa sleep in. Normally he is up at 4:30 am preparing for work! So, while he slept and pretty much enjoyed his morning of quiet relaxation, the kids and I headed to Riverside Park. The kids enjoyed the view of the river. My budding photographer was excited to capture ducks in his photographs. Jade was just as excited and yelled, "Ducks! Momma, … [Read more...] about Father’s Day

Why We Homeschool/Unschool!

June 14, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  Why do we Homeschool/Unschool? Let me start by saying this. Like everything else in this world, educating your child is a personal choice. No child develops at the same pace or learns in the same way. Each child and family is different. For our family and for our child Homeschooling, and more specifically Unschooling, works best. My husband and I knew homeschool would be best … [Read more...] about Why We Homeschool/Unschool!

Our Day at the Park

June 8, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  We went to a new park this weekend called Holcomb Bridge Park. I have a sneaking suspicion it is named that because it is located off of Holcomb Bridge Road....maybe. It has a cute little playground with a darling trail that takes you to the river. The kids enjoyed themselves immensely! I did as well! Being immersed in nature is always a wonderful experience. I especially loved seeing … [Read more...] about Our Day at the Park

Please read my disclosure statement for more information.  We began our week with the building of the K'nex Robo Sting...I say we, but Gabriel did 95% of the work. This is his first K'nex. He wanted to try one out to see if it was something he would enjoy. He began working on this Robo Sting over the weekend, but couldn't finish it until … [Read more...] about A Week in the Life of Unschoolers

Our Day at the Tellus Science Museum

June 1, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  This weekend we went to the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia. This is my son, Gabriel's, favorite museum of all time. Just their gift shop alone has him speechless. He is a huge fan of both their Fossil Gallery and their Mineral Gallery. I'm always impressed with it myself! I apologize now for the bombardment of pictures you are about to experience. We started our visit … [Read more...] about Our Day at the Tellus Science Museum
