A Very Frozen Birthday
This week our daughter, Jade, turned 3 years old. If you happen to know where all that time went, please let me know, because I haven't a clue.

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

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
Our Holiday on the Farm
This week the children and I decided to take a little holiday together. My husband couldn't come because he was needed at work. So the children and I left the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, for a short time, and enjoyed the green pastures and slow pace of my sisters farm. We arrived late in the afternoon and our daughter, Jade, immediately went out and about looking … [Read more...] about Our Holiday on the Farm
A Doctor Who, Paleobiology, and Minecraft Kind of Week
As Unschoolers our children choose what and when they want to learn something. We never force learning because we have found that our children learn better, and are happier when they get to decide what it is they want to learn about. Their love of learning blossomed when we got out of their way and let them take the lead in their education. This post may contain affiliate links. … [Read more...] about A Doctor Who, Paleobiology, and Minecraft Kind of Week
Making Nature Fairies
This week the children and I decided to make nature fairies as a welcome to the coming of fall. We saw a post about making them at Twig and Toadstool and the kids loved the idea. With the first cool nights and the leaves changing colors, this is a great time for collecting items outdoors. First we went on a nature hike and found pine cones, acorns, rocks, sticks and leaves. … [Read more...] about Making Nature Fairies
