Our Week in Review

September 21, 2016 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  Another week has come and gone. Anyone else exhausted? I know I sure am. Perhaps I just need more caffeine in the way of coffee! I always start my day with coffee and now that we've entered into a new school year I like to start my day with a bit of encouragement. I've really been enjoying Brave Writer's Julie Bogart on Facebook. Each morning at 8am she is live with … [Read more...] about Our Week in Review

Our Favorite Children’s Books

January 4, 2016 by Erin Vincent 1 Comment

  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. Our son, Gabriel, managed to read 100 books between August and December of 2015! All of them just for the simple joy that reading brings him. 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

A Week in the Life of an Unschooling Family

May 25, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

 Our week started out with rain. Lots and lots of rain, but that was OK. We are big fans of mud puddles! Although, I believe my daughter took jumping in mud puddles to a new level when she belly flopped into one! Gabriel received a new Lego so he spent a whole morning working on it. After that he wanted to climb trees! Of course he climbs trees most days. … [Read more...] about A Week in the Life of an Unschooling Family

Our Day at the Atlanta Zoo

May 25, 2015 by Erin Vincent Leave a Comment

  We decided to go to the Atlanta Zoo Sunday morning. It was a lovely day, slightly overcast and in the mid 70's. It was perfect! We began our tour of the zoo with the pink flamingos. Gabriel told us all about the flamingos food and that it was the food that gave them their pink coloring. We then came to the Elephant enclosure. She was giving herself a dust bath … [Read more...] about Our Day at the Atlanta Zoo

A Day in the Life of an Unschooled Scientist

April 13, 2015 by Erin Vincent 32 Comments

  Gabriel and I both woke up at 8am. He went into his "LEGO Room" to build while I made breakfast. Around 9:30am my toddler, Jade, was up and ready to get the day going. When I asked them what we should do first they immediately yelled "Go Outside!" Okey Dokey, outside it will be. We headed for our favorite trail that circles around our apartment complex. It is awesome, because you feel … [Read more...] about A Day in the Life of an Unschooled Scientist
