Our approach to homeschooling echoes our approach to life: live, love, laugh and learn!

My husband, Jim, and I unschool with our three children—Emily (9), Julia (8) and Sam (6). We have been actively homeschooling since Emily was 18 months old and unschooling for the past six years. Our family represents part of the growing community of those who unschool from birth, extending the trust and partnership of attachment parenting beyond the early years.

I have designed this web page in part to stay in touch with our friends and family while also serving as a scrapbook of our learning and a platform for our evolving philosophies. The links provide an overview of our many activities, photo histories and opinions. They are, obviously, compartmentalized for convenience, though anyone who unschools understands the ways in which these "subjects" thread their way through our lives.

In some ways this web site has a bit of a split personality. Because I'm using it as a tool to record our learning, I've divided it into conventional categories that offer lists of resources. My hope is that it will be helpful for those unfamiliar with unschooling to see the kind of learning that takes place without coercion. I also intend to use these translations of what we do for our state reviews.

We are unschoolers and our lives do not neatly parse into these kinds of categories, nor do we sit down and do this learning conventionally. For more insight into the way our learning really happens, check out our blog, which gives a more organic and in depth feel for the way unschooling unfolds in our daily life.
