It was a really busy month for us in February- probably one of the more stressful months that I’ve had in a while. This was mostly due to the Big Chill gymnastics meet our gym hosted. I was a meet director this year for The Big Chill which involved spending 20-30 hours per week in…

January 2017 Living and Learning Monthly Wrap-Up
Well, according to my last blog post, I haven’t posted a living and learning wrap since August 2014- for almost two and a half years! Before that I had posted what we did each month since November 2011. Part of me feels guilty; part of me feels regret. But another part of me pats myself…
Interview with Clark Vandeventer author of the book UnWorking
A few months ago I posted a review of a life-changing book I read recently titled UnWorking: Exit the Rat Race, Live Like a Millionaire, And Be Happy Now by my friend Clark Vandeventer. Today’s Clark’s back answering my questions on how to design a life that involves two or more passions, how to know when…
A Book Review: UnWorking- Exit The Rat Race, Live Like A Millionaire And Be Happy Now
After taking over a year off from blogging, I’m back! We are still living and learning at home and on the go, so that hasn’t changed at all. I will be doing a highlights from the past year post very soon to catch you up on what we’ve been up to. But for today, I’m…
Our August 2014 Unschooling Resources & Activities
After a hectic first two months of summer, this month was wonderfully lazy in comparison. We hung around the house a lot and didn’t travel at all. September looks to be the same way, too, so far. It was a month of both wrapping up old projects like our Minecraft Homeschool class and diving deeper…
The Balance Between Creative Input & Creative Output
I love to read. Actually saying I love to read doesn’t accurately describe it. It’s actually more of an obsession. To give you an idea of how much I love to read: I set my Goodreads Challenge Goal this year to read 125 books. I’m actually one book ahead of target now at 82 books…
Our July 2014 Unschooling Resources & Activities
This was an incredibly busy month for us. We had lots of fun, but I am really glad the month’s over! I know I’ve missed out on recording quite a bit of what the kids did at home on their own since I had so much to do myself without them and couldn’t keep up…
Is Everything Awesome?
Everything is Awesome! If your kids are like mine, you’ve heard this phrase sung in your house no less than 50 times in the last month. With a son who owns no less than 60-70 Lego sets, I guess it was inevitable The Lego Movie would become a favorite at our house. Not that it’s…
Our June 2014 Unschooling Resources & Activities
It’s finally summer after months of never quite feeling warm most of the day…and I’m posting our June 2014 learning log at the very beginning of July, too! Things are off to a great start this month 🙂 We had the opportunity to do some more travel again this month. We took a 4 day…
Our May 2014 Unschooling Resources & Activities
I’m almost done catching you up on all that we’ve been up to these past few months. Yea! Next week I’ll actually have June’s Learning Log posted on time 🙂 Most of May we weren’t even home, so the rest of this learning log won’t be as long as previous months. As I posted last…
