That Unschool Flavor

Most of this blog will be typed by the screen of my iPhone, so enjoy the simplicity and abundance of moments :))

My friend gave me the idea for this blog name. We were selling at a craft fair yesterday, and there wasthis boy with wild dark curls and a big easy smile out front roughing around while waiting for his mom who was also selling at the fair. And my friend says, "Doesnt he just have that homeschool flavor about him?" Mmmmm, yummy. I love that flavor -- it is wildcrafted (another new favorite word from yesterday), it smells like freedom and tastes like adventure and looks like joy and feels like creativity. Unschooling rocks.

I am so excited to find my own voice to add to the many unschooling blogs that chronicle this amazing liberating adventure that is unschooling. I am even more excited to finally find my own unique and perfectly perfectly me way of doing this: no added work or thinking on my part throughout the day, no forcedness about this blog. Just me and our simple life and me sharing the moments I capture in life that make me so appreciative of this yummy and exciting life. So, this blog will be An opportunity to savor the snapshots of those moments with that unschool flavor. I don't plan to get much into the background and info and philosophy of stuff that is the foundation of our life and lifestyle choices, except where it is a part of the process. I have a ning site where I do all that with kindreds (www.freestyleliving.ning.com). This blog is for the bulk of our simple life: the living it :)). So, this is where I get to come share all those moments where I will step back and go, "This is so freakin cool!!!!!!" I am so grateful for our wonderful amazing life that is tailored to us. I love pulling moments out of our day and appreciating them and exploring them a bit, so here I will be :))


*** just a note: I got the word "wildcrafted" from a new friend's business card. They create and sell natural products for the bath, body, and home. Their website is www.soulrayebotanicals.com
