Our April Unschooling Activities & Resources 2013
I’m back!!! I’m sorry that I haven’t posted anything new this past month. I’ve felt pulled in too many different directions lately, so I had to make some tough decisions and strictly prioritize my time. So that meant taking a break from writing any new posts this month. One of my family’s greatest passions is…
Our March Unschooling Activities & Resources 2013
March was one big ball of exhausting fun! It’s the beginning of birthday and travel season for us. We did so much that I know I missed things, so this isn’t even a complete list. It was just too hard to keep updated most of the month. We had our first mini-trip of the year:…
Our October Unschooling Activities & Resources
I don’t know when I’ve had a month where I’ve had so much fun and made so many memories, yet I’ve been so stressed and overwhelmed at the same time. We did a lot in October. Part of the problem, which really shouldn’t be a problem, was all the birthday and other special family celebrations…
Our September Unschooling Activities & Resources

The first night we drove from our home near Chicago to Lincoln, Nebraska. My husband’s grandmother had been hospitalized…
A Journey of 17,000 Miles – An Interview With Nancy Sathre-Vogel from Family on Bikes
Today, I’m so excited to bring you an amazing interview by a new friend, Nancy Sathre-Vogel from Family on Bikes. I first was introduced to Nancy when I ran across her blog in 2008. I spent hours and hours reading about her family’s journey on bikes from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina – a…
Our July Unschooling Resources and Activities
The first three weeks of July were exciting, adventurous and energizing. It’s not every month we get to take a three week road trip across the East Coast, visiting 8 states and two Canadian providences. You can read about our trip in my last post here. But for the last 9 days of the month…
