While on a family hike at our local nature preserve, I captured this image. The buds of a tree ready to burst forth with life and beauty. Looking at this photo I began thinking....this tree is already full of life and beauty. Those things do not start once the buds open but are there throughout the life of the tree. How different is this from ourselves and our homeschooling … [Read more...] about Growing in Our Everyday Moments of Homeschool

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.

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.
