Celebrating Earth Day in the Rain

April 25, 2016 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  April 22nd is celebrated around the world as Earth Day. Many people plant trees, help clean up trash or even recycle. We found our Earth Day to be a soggy wet day....but, that is part of living on this Earth...the weather! So, we donned our rain boots, raincoats and umbrellas and headed out into the rain to a nearby creek. What better way to appreciate the Earth than being out in it? … [Read more...] about Celebrating Earth Day in the Rain

Hardin Park

April 19, 2016 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  Last weekend we took a break from farm life and enjoyed a day at Hardin Park. This is a really lovely park that boasts a duck pond, stream, playground and pool facility. The children were excited to see the large, red train car! They had the best time climbing all over it and pretending they were conductors. I just love their pretend play! We met a mommy and … [Read more...] about Hardin Park

An Afternoon at Garrard Landing Park

February 24, 2016 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  Earlier this week the hubby and I took the children to nearby Garrard Landing Park. This park has a sweet little playground and a nice gravel trail that takes you along the Chattahoochee River. It was a lovely and cool overcast day. Our daughter, Jade, wouldn't hear of wearing the matching outfit I had picked out for her. She has been dressing herself now for since she was 2 years old … [Read more...] about An Afternoon at Garrard Landing Park

A Week in the Life of Unschoolers

October 26, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  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

An Autumn Walk

October 26, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  The temperatures have begun to drop and the leaves have begun to change. With these changes the children and I thought we would respond to autumn's call with a little walk in our neighborhood. We were surprised to find pink Camellias in bloom. Our daughter, Jade, found an interesting fungus on an old wooden stump. The children found an abundance of Acorns and Holly Berries. The sweet … [Read more...] about An Autumn Walk
