    Welcome Back

    I love being a teacher and learning new things. Sharing information and ideas is something I have always been passionate about - which is why I wanted to blog in the first place. It is time I reconnected with that why. I want to share what I have learned because I feel it is so important to continue to learn - for when we stop learning, we stop growing... Never stop growing.

    See Your Children Through Their Eyes

    Our perception of reality is based on our experiences. One needs to be able to see your children through their eyes to understand who they truly are. The way we see our children is based on our experiences in our life. The way we see them is not the way they see themselves. Infinite Versions of You I want to purpose an idea for you to ponder.

    Castle Unit Study

    How do unschoolers approach to learning about castles? From Tudor Castles to building our own in Minecraft, here is how we organized our castle unit study. When inspiration strikes, we love to take the opportunity and run with it. As unschoolers, this is how we plan our schooling year. It is not based on curriculum, it is based on interests and passions. My boys have been fascinated by castles for a while now but it ebbed and flowed. When we started reading Britfield & the Lost Crown, the passion for this topic returned. We decided to use that book as a castle unit study and are really enjoying it so…

    LARGE FAMILY Mom Stopped Making FREEZER MEALS

    I am a large family mom and I have stopped making freezer meals. Shocker, I know. Why would I do this? Aren’t easy freezer meals a lifesaver? Not anymore!
