Our normal Christmas tradition involves putting up a fake tree and calling it a day. Nothing terribly special. No pomp, no zing. This year, I wanted our Christmas to be different. I wanted to start a few new traditions. My husband and I discussed it and we both agreed that this year would be different. We started a new tradition this year by going and letting the kids pick out a live … [Read more...] about A New Tradition

Our A-Book-A-Day Advent Calendar
In years past our kids haven't really bothered much with Advents or the countdowns to Christmas. I've tried several but they never gathered much steam as the month of December counted down. This year, however, is totally different. Since Halloween night there has been a ceaseless question. This question pops up several times per day. I've been scratching my head wondering why the … [Read more...] about Our A-Book-A-Day Advent Calendar
Playing in the Leaves!
One of our favorite things about Autumn are the leaves! For our children and myself, leaves are a source of endless fun. The more the merrier. The bigger the pile, the bigger the fun. So, here are a few pictures from the fun we had in the leaves this week and one of my favorite autumn poems. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! "When hips and haws bring dwindling days, and fiery … [Read more...] about Playing in the Leaves!

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
An Autumn Walk
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
A Hard Week
It has been a pretty hard week for us as a family and for me personally. Our regular readers know that our daughter, Jade, has been fighting a virus for a few weeks now. We had gone to Urgent Care last week. We were told we were doing everything right, but to keep an eye on her ears. They feared that she may develop an ear infection. This week we went in to see her … [Read more...] about A Hard Week
