Thoughts on Unschooling

My college education has been a good foundation for launching into my own studies of homeschool. For years I’ve pored over seasoned homeschool mama blogs and books, perused resources, and reflected on pedagogy. I’ve read many … Continue reading Thoughts on Unschooling

Abby: One Month

I figured I should probably post these before Abby turns two months. Can you tell it's been a little hectic around here?

We're all … Continue reading Abby: One Month

Today I am 4 weeks old! To my Mother's delight, I can now breastfeed exclusively in the cradle hold! Big victory. I stopped needing the shield a few days ago, and now I want to eat all the time! I met my Grammy, Heidi, and she spoiled me and the parents for 10 days. I'm … Continue reading 4 Weeks.

Today I am one week old! Mostly I eat, sleep and make messy diapers, but here are a few other things that I've done... I also went for a short ride in my ring sling while mama took the shortest walk of her life. I rode in the car to visit Karen, the "milk maven" … Continue reading One Week Old.
