This past week kiddo and I attended the Project World School Family Summit in Granada, Spain! We got to hang out with other traveling families to learn more about what they do and where they go and compare notes. There was a kid’s camp for littles, teen activities, plus seminars and discussions. We saw a Read More

Podcast appearance
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure to be interviewed by Pam Laricchia for her Exploring Unschooling Podcast. It’s now online as episode #172! I won’t lie, I was surprised when Pam asked me to be a guest and hesitated to agree, especially when I found out it would be on video as Read More
Scuba
When we were snorkeling in Cozumel for Thanksgiving a few years we ran across a scuba diving group that just happened to be from Iowa. It was on that trip that my husband declared for certain that he would like to pursue scuba diving and would take classes when we got back home. He has Read More
Legos
It’s been well over a year now since kiddo decided he was done building with Lego and ready to let most of it go. He came to this realization himself, without any influence from us. We were a bit surprised, especially given we know many kids keep them for much longer (sometimes even into adulthood), Read More
Missing our exercise
It’s been just over a week, and we’re greatly missing our exercise! For the duration of our trip we had been walking about 20km+ a week as part of our regular daily routines. That was not including big planned walks or hikes, just walking to/from the shops, to visit places and see things, to play Read More
Home again
Thanks to my fab sister for taking such great care of our place while we were away and the lovely welcome back. Now to try and get into the Christmas spirit and make progress on some goals!
Siam Park
We had a great time visiting Siam Park one day last week, which according to Trip Advisor is the “World’s Best Water Park” with the world’s longest lazy river! They offered us the chance to buy return tickets for 1/2 price so we took them up on that offer and went again today. Here are Read More
Whale watching!
We took a boat trip out between the islands with Monte Christo Catamarans and got to see sea turtles, pilot whales, and a couple of us even spotted a flying fish!!! It was such an awesome experience for all of us. ♥️ We usually avoid any kind of animal attractions, but I felt good about Read More
Bananas!
There are a lot of banana plantations around us here on the west coast of Tenerife. In fact this one near us covers about the same acreage as the town we’re staying in! ‘Platano canarios’ are typically a bit smaller and more juicy than the ones from Latin America. They also take longer to grow Read More
Himalaya Salon Vegan
We headed to Torre Del Mar again today, this time with the rest of the family as well, to check out a vegan restaurant we’d read about online called Himalaya Salon Vegan. We’re so glad we did because we were wowed in every way!! The restaurant is located in a very convenient and easy to find Read More
