Ramblings, Sentiments, Rantings and Musings

My photo
I am a mother of 5 wonderful children and wife to one amazing Navy man. I am always changing things in my life, constantly learning something new and trying it out. I am a wannabe vegan, minimalist and currently living full time in an RV. Just for clarification, I say wannabe, because I know I am not perfect, but each day I strive to do the best I can. That's all I can expect from anyone no matter where they are in life. I learn something new everyday...mostly about myself and my little corner of reality. Life, to me, is loving, learning and making memories. These are better than all the tangible riches one can get their hands on! Besides, there will come a day when all I have left is my love and memories...so I'll stockpile as much of those as I can!
Unschooling article


Here is a link for an article on unschooling. I thougt the article was pretty good. It is a good introduction to unschooling for people who may not understand what it is all about.

In our unschooling day today:

a trip to the library
visit the dr. office to pick up copies of medical records
loading the camper
Paxton and Franki making eggs together (Franki's first time)
Miranda playing on the computer
watching Animal Planet
choosing what books and craft stuff to go in the camper
measuring the seat for a new board to go beneath the cushion in the camper (old one broke)

and the list goes on. Happy unschooling day in our home. Hope yours is as happy as ours!

Famous Quotes



"I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan
