When Mothering Is Not Enough

Should our kids be our whole world? Should we dedicate all our time and effort to raising the most precious people in our lives? Or is it okay to combine motherhood with our own interests? Could there be advantages in using our gifts and pursuing the things that bring us joy not only for us but also for our kids?

Does Christian Unschooling Interest You?

I’ve written three unschooling books:I focused on the educational side of unschooling in Curious Unschoolers.I extended the unschooling story in Radical Unschool Love by sharing parenting thoughts and stories.And I offered practical suggestions for turning all those interesting unschooling ideas into something real in families’ lives in The Unschool Challenge.Three books. A trilogy. Everything I can possibly say about unschooling. Well, that’s what I thought until a new idea began forming at the back of my mind. Now I’m wondering:Could I write a Christian unschooling book?

What if Adding Joy to Your Days Was Simple and Inexpensive?

When I ask my husband, Andy, what he wants to do to celebrate his birthday, he replies, "Let's go on a picnic."It's winter. An icy wind has been blowing for days. It's not ideal picnic weather, but does that matter? No. We'll be brave and gritty. We'll face the adverse weather together. We'll be adventurous."What picnic food would you like to eat?" I ask.“Let's fill a thermos flask with tomato soup and have rolls with cheese."

The Art of Conversation and Lifelong Learning

Everyone has a story to share. Everyone is interesting.Unschoolers and hosts of the Self Directed podcast, Jesper and Cecilie Conrad, roam the world seeing spectacular sights, but the real heart of their travels is the people they meet. As Cecilie says, "People are the adventure."I once read that to be interesting, we need to be interested in others. And that's what makes the Conrads' podcast so good. Jesper and Cecilie are interested hosts who want to know more about their guests.
