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.

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

We started a new tradition this year by going and letting the kids pick out a live … [Read more...] about A New Tradition
