Our April Unschooling Activities & Resources 2013
I’m back!!! I’m sorry that I haven’t posted anything new this past month.

One of my family’s greatest passions is…
Our March Unschooling Activities & Resources 2013

Valentine’s Day Activity Wish List
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…
