An Eclectic Odyssey

When my children turned two, I started blogging about our daily adventures in interest-led learning. It is my goal to record our journey in interest-led learning, share resources we’ve enjoyed and document the lives of two children, from toddlerhood to late teens,  who grew up having great freedom to follow their passions and delve deeply into their interests.

It is my goal to transfer this blog over to this site. For now, if you’d like a peek into our daily lives, check us out at www.aneclecticodyssey.blogspot.com.

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.
