A Small Update

As I look back, I really feel no shame in the fact that I haven't kept up with my blog. We've settled into our unschooling life and I have left behind the need to be the unschooling guru or the flaming advocate.

I've begun to use FlyLady to get our home and lives in order. I use her as it fits into our family personality. We all have a tendency to put things off and fly by the seat of our pants... we are all very creative thinkers and it tends to let things slide. So we needed some backbone to our lives. This is all God's leading... some structure (although loosely... too much crushes us into a tiny box and that's not cool) and responsibility.

We've (Dancer and I) have put together a loose "learning" schedule. There's no set work just daily guides to keep us on track with what we choose to study. Dancer deschooled for about a year and a half... and she's really excited to be in control of some structure to her learning. She's been learning all this time... she loves gaming, animals, and info about the states. But sometimes she'll come to me with stuff she wants more info about and either I or both of us will forget and not get around to getting stuff about it. So this daily schedule will help us to remember to stay focused on these self-directed studies.

I will be more active in blogging as time allows. :)
