I’ve not done a post like this, but have had some fun and/or informative reading choices lately, so thought I would share. The book series I’m reading aloud to the littles is this:
I’m one of those people who don’t like to reread things, and during the season of my two older children and […]
Elsie, at Elsie and Joe Deluxe, wrote a post called Keep Those Systems Off My Kids. I enjoyed the topic and it reminded me of a VERY important point about how I homeschool my children. She says this at the very end of the post:
But I am equally sure that there are teachers […]
Warning: Not for the faint of heart
How could a good unschooler resist documenting the birth of kittens? Not us! We decided to take in a pregnant mother cat that had been hanging around our church for a while now. She is really sweet, and a good mommy.
The children were SO […]
I came home yesterday and heard some instructional talk coming from behind the couch, which is William’s “quiet time area”. Hhmmm, what’s going on? I was excited to discover this:
I was excited for several reasons. First, there was a time when Eli eagerly sought out “pupils” for Lego instruction (and […]
At the beginning of the year, when I was reading various blog posts, I came across some great thoughts over at Loving Him 4 Ever. Interestingly, as I went to look up the reference, it appears a break has occurred for the blog author since writing this post. I hope there is more […]

I’m going to commit to coming back to my blog. I miss it, and it is so awesome to have a journal of one’s thoughts, theories, experiences, and every day life.
I went to Wal-Mart to pick up Spiderman 3 that the children were all clamoring for, and decided to pick up a bunch of reduce […]
Since I posted a couple pages about how the right-brained, creative child learns to read, I wanted to follow it with the post that inspired them. During my insomnia night I posted about, I was able to create a post to some questions asked at the Life Without School blog that flowed from my fingertips […]
I have been putting together some handouts to help explain to those parents concerned about their right-brained learner coming to reading later why this happens. In my pages section to the right, I have a page called Typical Right-Brained Reading Traits that lists the typical traits that right-brained people tend to exhibit when they are […]
Here I am in the middle of the night, wide awake. This happened about a month ago as well. It’s frustrating when I’m lying there knowing I need my sleep. On the other hand, when I give in to the inevitable and embrace it, I am astounded by the level of creativity that emerges from […]
