Everyone from around the world was invited to submit videos, including home videos, of the life around them on Saturday, July 24, 2010. That’s a very large concept! With over 80,000 submissions and 4500 hours of [...]

Happy day for my family and me! When our local vegan restaurant, Lovin’ Spoonfuls Cafe, sent us an invitation for a benefit dinner for one of our favorite local cat shelters, Casa de los Gatos, we were immediately interested. Add in a haiku contest, plus the chance to meet up with some fabulous friends of [...]

On Friday, July 16th, Jennifer Waddell and her cameraman Jimmy came to my family’s house to interview us about our Radical Unschooling lifestyle.

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 [...]

Most times in life, we seem to flitter around making the most of what exists. We appreciate the shapes and figures we see in the clouds. We make animals out of the clouds that are floating around.
