To read less, and do more.
I spend a lot of time reading, gathering info, and planning, but less time doing. I realize that in order to become the person I want to be, I need to be more active, rather than passively planning. So, this year, when I see some neat activity, instead of bookmarking [...]

Yeah, way to go trying to start something new the day before Xmas eve. I will get back to those postings once the new year comes. Our schedule is crazy between now and then.
But just a minute ago, I was talking to Shark about something, and I said, “Yeah, someday someone will sweep [...]

Which is a joke really, because haven’t we been unschooling since the day she was born? But this is the first day I’m recording the stuff we did and trying to correlate it with subject matter, so I can see what it is we’re actually doing.
In the morning, she watched some TV/DVD I don’t know [...]

I’ve been having a hard time with not accomplishing my homeschooling plans. I hear this is fairly common in homeschooling families, especially ones as relaxed as we are. So, instead, I’m going to post the things we did today here, with pictures if applicable, and draw educational correlations. For example, if we read books, I’ll [...]

I’m looking for a kitty, and that means tons of research on how to have the healthiest happiest most environmentally friendly kitty around.

Hi all. Wildflower went to sleep at a decent time tonight, and after spending so many nights being up til 1 or 2 am, I can’t sleep. I’m going to not stress about depleting my adrenals tonight, because I see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I plan to get back on [...]
Mmm, nourishing food for that time of the month
Posted in Uncategorized on September 5, 2008 | 4 Comments »
My lunch today is a grilled cheese sandwich, apple (wild, I found a grove of apple trees on a walk!) with peanut butter (and cinnamon for my blood sugar and honey- just a touch), three squares of the highest quality chocolate I can get my hands on, and a quart of RRL/Nettle infusion. Full of [...]
