• Thursday’s Recipe-Homemade Pumpkin Bagels and Maple Butter

  
  Pepper Paints — Authority: 415
  This was a fun and fairly simple recipe to make and because it uses rapid rise yeast, they don’t take hours to prepare. And the results were delicious!!! I suppose these aren’t “real” bagels because we didn’ t boil them-but the recipe (on tattered piece of paper from unknown origin) calls these bagels. ...

• Learning isnt a race

  
  Learning through Living — Authority: 121
  All of us with children know about milestones. I think that while milestones can be useful to gauge where your child is at it is also harmful to compare them to other children. Children are unique individuals and should be treated as such. I dont like averages because it blurs the lines. My babies all achieved the ...

• Awww…They’re Human Again

  
  Topsy-Techie — Authority: 120
  Image via Wikipedia So yesterday, I gave into the whine that had been building up, and gave it free rein. But today, I have been privileged to sit on the sidelines and watch and listen as my two wonderful young men have made their plans for learning today.  Thanks to the suggestion of Stone-Age Techie , we ...

• Pumpkin Playdough

  
  Pepper Paints — Authority: 415
  After dinner we made  quick batch of Pumpkin Pie Playdough. This is not only a super easy recipe but it turns out great every time. Not too sticky and not too dry! And smells great too. The color and spice combo could be switched up as needed. Store in a plastic bag or covered container. Mix together in  pan: ...

• Mistakes

  
  Blog of the Zombie Princess — Authority: 130
  I make mistakes every single day. Much of my life has been spent denying that this is necessarily true, and striving, striving, ever striving to make it not true. But it is True, true with a capital T. I err, therefore I am. Enjoying a brief moment of accepting—nay, embracing— this truth, I said to MJ and ...

• The Usual Crisis of Faith

  
  sugar boot and weasel — Authority: 123
  Several things happened all at once. Or several questions came up, I suppose I should say. One was on the matter of giftedness and its meaning. The next was concerned with the learning of mathematics. The last was about laziness. All of these issues are interconnected in the heart of the unschooling parent, or ...

  Fall Down to Fly — Authority: 115
  I am on a roll here, clearing out the archives of my past work. Must be I needed to re-read these! This one would have been published in Live Free Learn Free if the editor had kept it going. I miss that magazine. :-(My daughters have a beautiful puzzle that is really a set of square wooden tiles with fragments of a ...

• Nature Table

  
  Pepper Paints — Authority: 415
  Over the weekend we went for a walk and collected many treasures . It doesn’t take long to fill a basket or a bag with pretty, little interesting things. I am worse than the kids!! I love little collections of this and that. If you just look around my house you can easily see my love of “stuff.” I also ...

  Aspie Home-Education — Authority: 124

• A Way of Looking at Unschooling

  
  The Expanding Life — Authority: 413
  Go to where the silence is and say something. –Amy Goodman I’m sure that that Amy Gooodman of Democracy Now meant something having to do with social justice when she said that, about finding a wrong that needs to be righted and speaking out about it. But I have found a way to relate her excellent words to ...

  Another blast from the past, this one was published in Live Free Learn Free magazine in 2006.Do you ever find yourself with tears in your eyes over silly stuff? Just a tiny moment that speaks of the beauty of life, like a scene in one of your kid’s cartoons, or an ad in a magazine, or a moment in your life that ...

• Off the leash

  
  Blog of the Zombie Princess — Authority: 130
  When MJ was a toddler, Frank and I would take her walking in the mall. She would gleefully run ahead of us two or three store-widths, seem to reach the end of an invisible leash, come scampering back, and then do it again. And again. And again. It was one of her favorite games. What she was playing with was ...

  Pepper Paints — Authority: 415
  Earlier this week, Maine Momma invited me to take a walk with her. I was so flattered to be asked! And so inspired by the “walks” others have shared! Today was a perfectly, bright and beautiful Autumn day here in Columbus. As we headed out the back of our yard I couldn’t help but notice the brilliant sun, ...

• Homeschooling Our Children, Unschooling Ourselves

  
  the bee in your bonnet — Authority: 121
  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: 132
  {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: 415
  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: 131
  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: 123
  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: ...
