Getting Started

OK, here I go. This is my first attempt at blogging. I hope someone will read it!

I've been thinking about blogging for a while because our family seems to have a unique situation. We are homeschoolers, unschoolers at that but I work part-time and my husband works full-time. This is rather unusual for homeschoolers.

Heck, even unschooling is slightly unusual for homeschoolers. This is a lifestyle choice for us, not an educational choice. We believe that our children learn best by living life, hence the title of my blog. We have amazing children who have insights into life that we could never teach them. We are doing our best to impart the desire to learn and expand their horizons. We don't want them to lose their curiosity.

So unschoolers with two working parents are pretty much outside the norm all the way around. I'm used to being "abnormal." I've spent most of my adult life not fitting in. I kind of like it that way.

I'm hoping that my wild rambings will help someone else to feel a little less "abnormal." If I can provide some support to anyone then my musings have a purpose.

So strap yourself in and enjoy the wild ride that is our life!

Thanks Wanda and Meg,
With great support like you guys, I think I can do this. Now all I have to do is get someone to read it!

Go for it Carol! I will check in from time to time as I am joining the ranks of the unwashed unschoolers as of now. BTW... you didn't tell me you had another newspaper interview? Will it be in the ND? Is the ND online? If not send me a copy.
