• Homeschooling Our Children, Unschooling Ourselves

  
  the bee in your bonnet — Authority: 417
  When I checked this book out from the library I wasnt really expecting an "unschooling" book. I know that sounds silly since "unschooling" is in the title, but our library doesnt particularly have a huge array of homeschooling books, so I didnt trust theyd have such a radical book. I checked it out, but didnt start ...

• My Talented Girl

  
  The Enchanted Cottage — Authority: 130
  {Kenzies self-portrait} I like to give my children experiences and let them do things on their own as much as possible and as they want to. Take photography, for example. When Kendall bought a new Canon camera, it became the camera to use when one wants a good picture. My old little HP photosmart just didnt do ...

• Preserving Fall

  
  Pepper Paints — Authority: 411
  Fall seems to be the shortest season. It’s the time of busy work; putting summer to bed and preparation for the long winter ahead. On days when the sun is shinning bright and the temperatures are still tolerable we tend to run outside to savor those crunchy, colorful leaves and take in the fleeting beauty of the ...

  An Untraditional Home — Authority: 130
  Last Sunday the kids and I decided to drive an hour and a half so we could do the last orienteering meet of the season. It was a gorgeous, sunny and rather warm day (75 degrees–well above the norm for November). This was our second attempt at orienteering (you can read our first here –it also contains an ...

  Cocking A Snook! — Authority: 125
  Here we go again. Families, child-rearing and home education publiclystereotyped as conservative extremism and anti-human rights, sigh. Ifyou parent and/or educate children and don’t fit this stereotype, makeyour voice heard too. Don’t let this define your principles.Parental rights rally on Washington planned: ...

• Thursday’s Recipe…..Banana Dots aka Breakfast Cookies

  
  Pepper Paints — Authority: 411
  Ginger wanted to make cookies for breakfast this week and ironically that same day Dawn ’s FB update was about the Banana Cookies they were having for breakfast. The same recipe she so prettily copied out onto an index card for me about 10 years earlier. That recipe has been filed away unused all these years. I ...

  Mama-Om — Authority: 411
  I wrote about groundhogs and sewing a while back, and now Im here to regal you with tales of fingerknitting and fish! Almost two months ago, Orlando began fingerknitting (though I suppose it is more accurately called fingercrochet because we only use one strand). The technique we used was from Oak Meadow, ...

• Relaxed Homeschooling: Taking Advantage of Environment

  
  Heart of the Matter Online — Authority: 560
  My kids get bored easily. Do yours? A week of work pages, reading and recitation had left mine with a glazed over look in their eyes and groans when I mentioned beginning lessons for the day. Inwardly, I chided myself, “Look what you’ve done to them! Where is that relaxed love of learning you like to talk about ...

• A “Lately” Montage

  
  Sensible Living — Authority: 122
  I’m rather behind in my blogging. So much to say, so little time to type. As cliché as that sounds it’s precisely what’s going on around here lately. I’m still working on my 365 Day Gratitude Photo Project so I make time to snap at least one shot and upload it. Having a little fun with our still new ...

• Youve got to see this.

  
  The Passionate Mind — Authority: 103
  These are from Sir Ken Robinsons, PhD , talk on creativity. Its a must see. (And I dont say that lightly.) If you have children, you need to see this. "All kids have talents. And we squander them. Pretty ruthlessly." "Creativity is as important in education as literacy; and we should treat it with the same ...

• Eating Life

  
  The Expanding Life — Authority: 413
  As the unschooling spirit wafts around your household like the smoke from a blown-out candle (the candle of traditional expectations), it becomes easier and easier to understand that you really can do anything you want to do. Now, don’t get me wrong here. I’m not talking like a life coach on the Oprah show, ...

• Hormones

  
  Blog of the Zombie Princess — Authority: 426
  I was privy to a fairly innocuous but nevertheless unfortunate comment about teens on Facebook today. A friend of mine, evidently after a small detonation in her house, had posted self-encouraging words about honoring her daughter’s will and just continuing to love her. A friend of hers responded with this: ...

I love how the author of "Mystery of History" works a chapter about ...
