Do Life Right

Happy 9th Birthday to our little black cat, Astrid. We’re so happy to have her in our lives. Astrid is an animal shelter rescue cat. With the large number of animals that need homes, please consider getting your next pet from your local animal shelter or rescue league or organization. We’ve adopted four cats from […]

With Halloween just over a month away, I’ve been having people tell me they feel sorry for my kids. They think that because we are vegan, we don’t eat candy or go trick or treating. We happen to do both.

I’m not a fan of receiving too many catalogs and other mail that I don’t want. However, I am a huge fan of receiving catalogs in the mail that I’m going to keep around a while and reference. Be sure to check out online catalogs before you have a paper one sent to you. If […]

Dissection alternatives have never been more humane, interesting, or accurate. Remember the smell of formaldehyde in Biology class? Your children need not become familiar with it.

As an Unschooling family, one of the greatest pleasures we get is from pretending we are tourists in our own area. A few times a month, we pack a lunch or supper (and the camera) and get in our pretend rental car (otherwise known as our car) and head off on a new and exciting […]

Lucid dreaming? Traveling to other spaces and places? Fact or fiction? What’s it all about and do I want to do it?

As a huge Indigo Girls fan, I’ve adored the song Closer To Fine since the first time I heard it. It popped up on the radio for me the other day as I was driving and the familiar, “Got my paper, I was free“ played and an old odd disturbance ran through me. It […]
