Last year the kids and I went to a Valentine’s Day party with a homeschool group. We spent quite some time filling out cards, making little candy bags to pass out. It was fun, but I must admit to feeling a little overwhelmed. This year, after a busy, hectic first month of the year, I’m…

Our January Unschooling Activities & Resources
January was a whirlwind of a month. The first start of the month started off with out-of town family members coming to stay for 4 nights for a wedding (Alexa was the flower girl!). And then after that came a flurry of the usual gymnastics and swimming lessons, a pulled tooth for Jared, bowling, playing…
Our December Unschooling Resources & Activities 2012
I knew December would be a busy month, and it felt busy, but as I put the finishing touches on this list, I was amazed at how much we did this month! I’m sure things were the same in your house, too. And this was after I worked hard and not letting us get so…
Winter Activites Wish List
Two more days until winter! It certainly hasn’t felt like winter around here yet. In fact, Steve and Jared went for a late night bike ride just two days ago! But they’re predicting snow for this Thursday, so it looks like it might be a somewhat white Christmas. I started compiling our Winter Activities Wish…

Creating New Family Traditions While Embracing The Old
What are your favorite family traditions? Do you find yourself repeating many of the same traditions you grew up with, or do you have more fun making your own new traditions? Maybe it’s just because it’s the holiday season, but I’ve been thinking about traditions these past few weeks. I remember when I was just…
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…
Every Day’s a Holiday – Celebrating 30 Days of November
Did you know that there are holidays for every day of the year? Last month I put together a list celebrating every day in October. It was so much fun putting that list together that I’m doing it again this month! Most of the days’ celebrations are national (United States) holidays. When…
Upcoming Changes for Interest-Led Learning
I started this website in March of 2011 because I wanted to share my passion for interest-led learning. This site has been a great creative outlet for me- a way to share my thoughts and ideas, as well as resources and books that I’ve come across while living and learning with my kids every day….
