practical ways to live a thriving life
I originally wrote this reflection in 2019, well before all our lives became so home centered with the COVID-19 pandemic. I happened upon it again recently and thought it was even more timely as so many of us are choosing the most comfortable clothing for the vast majority of our days spent at home. I […]
So many families are starting out homeschooling for the first time this year, and even more are now venturing into digital learning from home.

In the summer of 2017 I was interviewed by Pam Laricchia on the Exploring Unschooling podcast. It was a great experience and I was honored to be a part such a great project. I do feel like a rambled a bit in parts, but I guess that’s real life. Take a listen! I hope you […]

If you ask various fertility charters what are the best signs to chart, you are likely to get a wide range of answers.
