Does anyone else have a bunch of saved posts in the Post Writing section that you started and didn’t finish? I do. So, I decided to go through some of them and see what I found. Apparently, I had taken a blurb from a post I had written on a list somewhere and copied it […]
My hubby and I decided to continue trusting our philosophy with the natural stages of learning as our children transition into adulthood. As noted in an earlier post, it did require that we continue our deconditioning of our current society’s expected “shoulds” at this stage. The biggest one, obviously, is the college path. Initially, my […]
Alex is 13 years old now and has been working through the Collaborative Learning Stage, as I describe the rhythm of our unschooling cycles, since around 11.5 years old. This is never an easy stage as the children transition from a more relaxed, interest-based environment (seeking their passion) to learning more about goal setting […]

This post ended up getting really, really long, so I broke it up into various elements that I will share over the next few days . . .
JoVe from Tricotomania wrote a post called “Contemplations on the School Year.” I would like to share some experiences our family has chosen as well as my own […]
On my Homeschooling Creatively list, a question was asked about further explaining what I talk about when I discuss our strength-based learning model in our home. Here is the lister’s question:
When you teach to their strengths, does that mean gear your curriculum towards what they are good (ie- lots of time with music if that’s […]
Several of you bloggers got me thinking of how I could organize differently to best meet the needs of certain children in my family at this time. William and Joseph are high energy, low attention span boys, but still love to dabble in learning activities that I come up with. However, whenever I have tried […]
