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

Unschoolers Platform 2017
We spent last week at the fabulous Unschoolers Platform 2017 conference at the Key Lime Cove waterpark in Gurnee, Illinois! It was the second year for the event. (See last year’s post.) There are several aspects that come together to make a successful conference, and this one had it all – friendly people, knowledgeable speakers, lots of opportunities Read More
Worldschool Resources
I had the privilege to be asked to lead a discussion at the Unschoolers Platform conference on the topic of worldschooling. A big thanks goes out to everyone who joined me for the session and contributed to the conversation. As promised, here is the list of resources that came out of the discussion we had Read More
Columbus ships and King Tut exhibit
With unschooling and worldschooling, we’re learning from the world around us and through experiences, rather than via books, tests, and other formal learning opportunities (unless requested by the learner). To help facilitate this process, I try to keep an eye out for things that might present an opportunity to be exposed to new topics. You never Read More
Leisurely summer
Kiddo broke his arm in a bicycle accident so we’re having a bit more of a leisurely summer than we otherwise might. We have days where we do nothing but lounge, days where we’re busy with activities outside the house, and days where we’re busy inside the house! Today was one of those. Today so Read More

This was our fourth trip to the Unschoolers Waterpark Gatherings conference event for homeschoolers at the Kalahari in Sandusky, Ohio. We had a blast as usual! The event includes speakers, funshops, family activities (dance, movie night, talent show, etc.), plus lots of time spent with friends and in the waterpark. The time always seems to go so Read More
Unschoolers Platform
In mid February we attended a brand new unschooling conference called Unschoolers Platform (UP)! The conference was held at the Key Lime Cove waterpark in the Chicagoland area. For the last three years we’ve attended the Unschoolers Waterpark Gathering (UWG) in Ohio and have loved it, so that was our baseline for what unschooling conferences Read More
Mexico!!
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
What we don’t want
This week has kicked my butt! Even though I don’t have *that* many billable hours for the week so far, it is a lot more than normal. And having the work to-do list hanging over me and all the communication that goes along with it is taking up my time and head space. While the Read More
