Parenting is a personal and deeply emotional thing. No two people parent the same and everyone feels like they’re trying their hardest (and yet usually failing in some way).I’ve seen people latch on to theories from books, advice from others, and behav…
So thanks to Cliff’s shitty accounting, I have been thrown off by today being the last day of the Summer Blog Challenge. Add to that the fact that I have been far more interested in watching YouTube videos than writing this post. I really didn’t wa…
31 posts that were over 150 words each in 31 days. That was the challenge, and I’ve succeeded. But this has been about more than just the awesome pointsTM, this year I have managed to make this blog a purposeful place to share my thoughts and stories.

So here it is. The one that I’ve been thinking about. I’ve had a miserable couple of weeks, my brain keeps going over things, and I can’t stop thinking about it. We have been having an issue with violence in Elijah, so you might see how I couldn’t just put out in the world [...]

As an unschooly family our life rolls along all year without holidays or first days of classes and while I appreciate how it means we value the living and learning we do each day I think that it can lead us towards taking for granted the life we have. …
Since I was the one that mentioned discussing music as part of the SBC, I figured I should do a post about it before the challenge is over. For those people that have actually met me I think it’s fairly obvious which genres are my favourite: heavy me…
I don’t spend a lot of time talking about our decision to homeschool Nick. I don’t even think about it much. He’s a bright boy, he picks his way, and he is interested in an amazing array of things, about which he knows a lot more than his old pappy, here.
