Welcome to the third post in the 25 Connections series I began a few weeks ago. In this game I’ll connect the topic of gymnastics to 25 other related topics or resources.

Welcome!

Hi! I'm so happy to have you here. My name is Christina Pilkington. Those are my two wondeful children in the picture above (they're twins!). We daily live a life of passion, adventure and connections.

Our philosophy of learning is to dive into life and take in all that interests and amazes us, on our own time and in our own way. We're particularly interested in travel, community-based learning, and exploring the world.
