I’m back!!! I’m sorry that I haven’t posted anything new this past month. I’ve felt pulled in too many different directions lately, so I had to make some tough decisions and strictly prioritize my time. So that meant taking a break from writing any new posts this month. One of my family’s greatest passions is…

Our Spring Activity Wish List
Happy first day of spring! Even though it doesn’t feel like spring today- its 23 degrees near Chicago today- it’s sunny outside, promising long days ahead. Winter is my least favorite month-although I appreciate it more now since I’ve have kids- so I’m really looking forward to warmer days, long bike rides and hikes, and…
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…
Our August Unschooling Activities & Resources
Today we’re leaving Estes Park near Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado where we spent the last eight nights renting a house with Steve’s parents. We’ll be spending the night in Omaha, Nebraska and heading home tomorrow. It’s been an incredible trip, and I’m going to write a separate post about it in the next…

A Year in the Life of an Interest-Led Learner 2011-12 (video)
Each month I share with you the activities and resources our family uses on our interest-led, unschooling journey. But I don’t usually share pictures of my family. It’s not that I don’t want to share. I do. It’s just that I decided the major focus of this site will be to talk about ways we…
My April Unschooling Fun & Resources
It seems like I hardly came up for air this month. My babies turned six this month! Just knowing they will be seven next year leaves me feeling so blessed that I can have so much time with them doing the things we love. My dad also had a heart attack. He’s fine as of…
My March Unschooling Fun & Resources
As March came to an end, I wondered why I felt so tired. Then I looked at this list! Really, though, it was an incredible month for my family. We learned so many new things, went to so many new places and just enjoyed spending time together. I’m hoping some of the resources or activities…
