Homeschool Fiction

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 [...]

One year ago today, I spent a lot of time on this blog. I wrote daily about my two biggest passions: Unschooling and veganism (with a little Webkinz and other fun things thrown in). Both, in various ways, have literally saved my life. So, they will always be in my life. They can’t not. Each [...]

Yes, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything on this website. It’s all good though! Fantastic in fact! It’s been a whirlwind of excitement in my household for months now: 2 books published, several trips, activities galore, and much more!
I have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving day!  Here are [...]

For Father’s Day presents, we had a lot of fun making decorated t-shirts.  Click here for a bunch of really cool examples (with directions).

I think I’ve read just about every organization, Feng Shui, and “simplify your life (and stuff)” book out there.  While I agree with much of it, I’ve yet to read how to do any of this while kids actually LIVE and LEARN in the home every day.  So, I’ve created my own simple “How to” [...]

My younger daughter has been begging me to write this post for over a month now. She’s a huge Amelia Bedelia fan (the rest of us are too) and we talk about Amelia Bedelia’s interesting perspective on life all the time. Whenever my daughter hears a phrase that could be thought of in [...]

My kids love 3-D things. They’ve been having a lot of fun with Neave Anaglyph. It’s a website where you can “doodle in 3D”. Put on your 3D glasses and have some fun!
