Marching Forward!
Wow! It’s March already. Amazing how time can fly by when you are having so much fun, which is all February was about for my family and me. 
It started with our annual Super Star Trek Sunday party. We then had a week of green screen photo shoots with the SOARing Unschoolers–end goal was a new t-shirt design of as many of the kids as possible soaring through the Arizona sky holding balloons.
I managed to squeeze in three radio interviews (two about the Wright on Time books and one about Unschooling) and one in-person presentation (about the business of the publishing industry) at the Tucson chapter of RWA. All were so much fun! [Links to hear all of these below.]
We also continued with our other myriad interests. My oldest daughter, Zoë (who will be 13.5 in a couple of hours), has continued learning about all things astronomy related and geology related. She’s currently interested in pursuing Exogeology (a.k.a. Planetary Geology)–the geology of other planets. My younger daughter, Teagan (who is now nearly 9.5), has become an amazing typist this past month. She’s been on her computer for hours each day. She types, plays games, Skypes with her cousin (and us), and has learned to solve 2/3 of a Rubik’s cube. My husband, Greg, has continued on his pursuit to run 1000 miles in 2010–a feat that he’s over 150 miles into. That’s just the tip of the iceberg of our fun!
With an unschooling lifestyle, we flow as a family from one interest to another. We pursue each as deeply as we desire, while maintaining relationships with each other. While we had dance classes, Girl Scouts, daytrips for tours, movies to see (and go to–Percy Jackson!), delicious food preparations (and so much more!), we went about our days at our own paces. We knew of our commitments, but also knew when and how to step back and just *be* together.
