    It is a global pandemic and our governments are encouraging us to stay inside and to social distance. That is an introvert's dream, right? No. Self-isolation is hard for introverted parents.

    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.

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. It is the idea that there are an infinite number of versions of yourself. The way we exist, to ourselves, really only exists in our own minds.

    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! I started making freezer meals when my eldest was diagnosed with a dairy allergy. At the time, there were no dairy-free convenience foods on the market. The world was just opening its eyes to the realization that food allergies and food sensitivities were in fact a real thing. Peanut allergy warnings and peanut-free items were just starting to hit the grocery store shelves but there was no gluten-free section, no intentionally dairy free/vegan processed foods.
