Global Entry!

Global Entry!

Posted on October 10, 2016December 4, 2016 by heather

Since we’re planning to travel a lot this upcoming year, and our plans for the future will hopefully include a great amount of travel as well, we decided to go ahead and apply for the US Government’s Global Entry program. The program provides pre-screened travelers with quicker access through security, customs and border patrol, as well Read More

Just a day after we got back from the Unschoolers Platform conference, we made a trip to stay with family and celebrate the 75th birthday of my Grandma Sandy (kiddo’s great grandma).

Mexico!!

Posted on February 6, 2016July 31, 2016 by heather

We just got back from Mexico, our first international family trip since achieving location independent income. We all had a blast and learned a lot! This is the first installment of our travel story. Our reason for choosing Mexico, and Puerto Morelos in specific, was to join in the Project World School Mexico Family Summit, Read More

Bring on 2016!

Posted on January 18, 2016February 8, 2016 by heather

2016 has started off with a bang! All of my freelance clients seem to need things at once, I’ve gotten replies to all my bids, gained a new client, had a small business I bartered with call in the favor, and am busy, busy, busy!  Meanwhile Dad’s job is also running at full speed, getting Read More

Our first trip!

Posted on September 25, 2015January 20, 2019 by heather

Now that Dad has gotten used to his new job, we thought it was about time we took a trip to see how it works for him to do his job on the move.  Kiddo needed to see his speech therapist in Nashville, TN so we decided it was a good opportunity to test out Read More

We’re not there yet

Posted on January 9, 2015May 15, 2016 by admin

It’s been years since we started down this path and we haven’t yet achieved our primary goal of location independent income and travel. In some ways, it seems like more of an uphill battle now more than ever. We keep having to remind ourselves that while we haven’t yet achieved our goal yet, we have Read More

In the beginning…

Posted on February 12, 2014November 9, 2016 by admin

Several years ago now, when our son was still very small, we decided we’d like to live on a sailboat and travel the world. We saw that other families were doing it and wondered how it worked for them. That was the beginning of our research into location independence. For a couple years we focused Read More

Kiddo has put his game making on the back burner t Kiddo has put his game making on the back burner the last couple of weeks because he's been super inspired with ideas for a TABS movie. He's being drawing out panels using just his finger on the trackpad and writing lots of dialogue. It's quite different from his usual pixel art and I just love the style he chose to use. He's so consistent with it and I feel like he's got a good eye for cartoon-styled art and what to emphasize in each pane. 🎨

My new friend, a green orchid bee, world not leave My new friend, a green orchid bee, world not leave me alone! I think it liked the teatree oil I had applied. Later when we went out again it (or another one just like it) found me again a few blocks away and kept landing on my fingers and even tried to stick it's proboscis under my nails, which was very tickely. They're so beautiful!!! #alwayslearning
After we had his birthday cake kiddo and I went to After we had his birthday cake kiddo and I went to this week's free Sunday cultural performance, flamenco!! The group consisted of a guitarist, electric violin/vocalist, percussion/vocalist, bass, and dancer. The dancer wore five different outfits to suit different song styles/moods. At the end they opened it up for audience participation and people were dancing in the aisles. We couldn't help but compare it to the flamenco performance we saw in Spain.💃 #weareworldschoolers

And just like that he's 13! It's only the second And just like that he's 13! 
It's only the second birthday ever spent away from home and first time we haven't baked his cake ourselves. (Everyone mentioned the my vanilla cake is better!) We didn't do too much, but still tried to make it special.
Kiddo's choice for special birthday food was fries Kiddo's choice for special birthday food was fries and a malt! We had it delivered from vegan diner @comet984pdc via @playitaexpress and did it a day early since we plan to go to another event tomorrow night. It was all so good!!

We took the colectivo yesterday to visit Cenote Ja We took the colectivo yesterday to visit Cenote Jardín del Eden! It's bigger and deeper than some of the other nearby cenotes, and set 1km back from the road. It was much less crowded than Cenote Azul right next door, and it seemed many people were there primarily to jump. You can jump or dive from any part of the cliff or platform between the ropes, or even the tree above! We saw a lot of fancy moves, but it was enough for me just to jump it. Just watch out for divers below! (There are underwater caves and things to explore.) Kiddo was not remotely interested in jumping but he did enjoy the swimming and fish. 🐟🌅 #cenoteeden #cenotejardíndeledén

We're always excited to try new kinds of kombucha! We're always excited to try new kinds of kombucha! This one from La Bruja Islena is "butterfly lavender lemongrass" and is a lovely purple-ish color that looks more pink outside in the sun. I love that this brand has refill stations in many local stores and even does home deliveries! They are a bit expensive, but every flavor we've tried so far has been so good! 🦋🦋🦋
