This week was full! We did a letter drop which was great for some exercise and number learning (letterbox numbers) for miss 5! We went to story time at our library, read lots of awesome books from local authors. We love that about our library! After going to the pool, miss 5 asked about chlorine… Continue reading Learning is Everywhere! Just turn your attention to it!

Keeping it simple – Life Lessons & Natural Learning
We were doing a letter drop today in our local area for our business. That's when it dawned on me how easy and simple learning can and should be! Instead of jamming facts down the throat of children, we could be simply exposing them to the language of life (numbers and letters) naturally. As we… Continue reading Keeping it simple – Life Lessons & Natural Learning
The Beauty of Home Education
Because most people go to school, you will most often hear only of the benefits of going to school, so I'm here to champion home education! Because, given most people in fact "were" schooled...it can be hard to have faith in yourself to do something so huge without "being directed what to do" all the… Continue reading The Beauty of Home Education
Birds of a Feather Fly Together
Please stop saying how important "socialisation" is for children and how that's the important thing about school! My beautiful homeschooled (unschooled) friend messaged me today with yet another mention of this common misconception from a nosey stranger when learning of her homeschooled child. Do people even KNOW who they're sending their children to school to… Continue reading Birds of a Feather Fly Together
When the bell rings
What does it teach a student to have most of their time directed by a bell, dictating when to change focus, attention, activity, seats or classrooms? Is it a subtle suggestion that you are not the governor of your own destiny? Does this bell directed life offer insight into how to go deeper into learning,… Continue reading When the bell rings
Sacrifice – To make Sacred
To sacrifice is to make sacred. The question is often asked, "how does a family afford the privilege of homeschooling?" This is a great question and one that I am driven to be creative around, especially being a minimalist. I am a firm believer in the importance of sustainability and being waste wise. This means… Continue reading Sacrifice – To make Sacred
“Doing the Math” Adding Up The Time In School
The first thing many people ask about homeschoolers is "but how are you going to teach them maths and science?" That's my personal experience and I also find it a rather odd question! Firstly, numbers are the language of the universe so we can't avoid learning it no matter what we do! And science, that's… Continue reading “Doing the Math” Adding Up The Time In School
Unique Individuality
Why I chose to unschool / home educate a few years ago, was because my heart tells me that the one size fits all approach... is not for us. I for one, don't "fit" into many categories. My home education choice comes from a love of life and the massive availability of modern learning at… Continue reading Unique Individuality
Learning Experiences
We learn so much from simply living! Just this year we have experienced so much! We visited Queensland and it's wildlife sanctuary there. We made our own Mud pie kitchen, and our first hot cross buns. We often visit our family (in-laws) on their riverfront country cottage now only 15 minutes away. We walked our… Continue reading Learning Experiences
