Are we unschooling yet? I’m not sure, but I do know that I’m not worried about this. I had previously planned to deschool until the end of 2014 (mostly for me) and that I would have this moment when unschooling would start. I even thought this after reading several other blogs, most notably Pam Laricchia’s […]

Daniel’s journey to walking
The little man has had a rough time on his journey of mobility. Early days saw him getting osteo treatment for being unable to hold his head up for long which I suspect was due to the way he was birthed. Bit anyway, Daniel responded perfectly to treatment (thanks Penne) and was crawling at 7mths. […]
Lego!
For Christmas, Alex got some lego. He has not been much of a builder with his duplo, except for making towers as high as he could before they fell. A lot of the lego comes in kits – he already has one of a police truck, but I thought I’d just buy a cube with […]
Bitten by a snake
So Alex loves snakes, and has done for more than 6 months now. I decided to join the VHS (Vic Herpetological Society) as a family. This would give us access to information and a reptile expo coming up in March. But as an added bonus, the VHS secretary invited us into his home to see […]
What we got up to – December 2014
Here’s a few piccies of what we got up to (WWGUT) in December 2014. Practising writing Image 1 of 18 These Kumon ( :/ ) cards were a birthday gift when Alex was 3. He decided he wanted to do it (I left them lying around).
Christmas and New year 2014
So my phone time has significantly decreased and I’m feeling all the better for it – more present. It can get tempting, I don’t know why. Connection to the world I guess. Christmas seemed a bit of an anti climax. I think perhaps this is due to seasons. I still can’t accept Christmas in the […]
Reflection on 2014
Big year! Aren’t they always? We’ve gone through a lot regarding education – being signed up for an independent school, starting kinder, school tours, considering homeschooling and now unschooling. So here are some of the great things that we’ve done besides the backyard play, football, karate, ju-jitsu trials, rollerskating, beach, swimming, zoo, farms, camping, scienceworks, museum, […]
A week of achievement!
So, 3 weeks ago little Daniel broke his leg. He just got up and started to walk and fell down. As toddlers do. Except he didn’t get back up as he’d broken his leg in the fall! So after a few weeks of no baths, water play and restricted sand play we have sight of […]

Following up that overwhelming future
I’ve been feeling the weight of my task. The responsibility! Whilst I believe that I still have deschooling to do, I have made a few mini steps this week. I’m glad I see this as a huge responsibility, the futures of my children and their happiness is top of my lists (I love lists!). It’s […]
