Today was a cold over cast day. The weatherman was calling for rain all afternoon and we haven't been getting our nature fix lately. I make sure we get outside but a nice walk in the woods has been few and far between since the new year began. Life just seems to happen, but now that we have a second vehicle, I plan on making making nature our norm again. I decided we needed to get out … [Read more...] about Our Morning Walk Along the River

Learning Math with our Favorite Games and Apps
Games can provide a rich source of education for our children. Here are our favorite games and apps for learning math. If you have followed us for any amount of time, then you know we don't use boxed curriculum's in the traditional sense in our homeschool. We follow our children's interests and use whatever works.

A Week in the Life of Unschoolers
Welcome to another week in the life of unschoolers. This is were I fill you in on all the goings on and adventures we had with our children during the week. The biggest news this week...our son, Gabriel, asked to have his hair cut. Not just any hair cut. A Dr. Who (Matt Smith) hair cut to be precise. Not that he had to ask.

Our Favorite Children’s Books
Looking back on our unschooling year I realized....we've read a load of books! We seem to be a family of book lovers, and I am totally thrilled about this. Our son, Gabriel, managed to read 100 books between August and December of 2015! All of them just for the simple joy that reading brings him. I keep track of his books with the Goodreads App. This has been a wonderful App as it lets you … [Read more...] about Our Favorite Children’s Books
A Week in the Life of Unschoolers
We started this week at the Library. There nothing like being surrounded by books to lift one spirits. Our son, Gabriel, made his selection and walked out like a boss. There was a little strut and everything! Following our trip to the Library we proceeded to read all about Corn Snakes, Black Mambas, Rattlesnakes, and King Cobras. Yes, there was a theme. Gabriel may or may … [Read more...] about A Week in the Life of Unschoolers

Ripley’s Aquarium
While on our holiday in Tennessee my two sisters and I made a trip to Gatlinburg. We were going to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies with the children. I wasn't sure if our daughter, Jade, was old enough to really enjoy it. When we got there she excitedly showed us the fossil marks in the walkway, I knew she was going to have fun. Fair warning....I took loads of pictures, but aquariums … [Read more...] about Ripley’s Aquarium
A Week in the Life of Unschoolers
Another full week has gone by. We had family visiting for most of it and the children loved having visitors. My sister and brother-in-law came from their farm in Tennessee to hang with us here in Georgia. We loved having them. The kids adored the epic battles at the playground in the rain with Uncle Joe. Just because we had guest didn't mean that our son, Gabriel, … [Read more...] about A Week in the Life of Unschoolers
