My Unschoolish Ways

Some of my favorite homeschooling posts:

A Day in the Homeschooling Life

Label Me Schizophrenic
Masterly Inactivity
Slo-o-o-o-ow Down (Or, Why I Love Our Read-Alouds, Part III)
What is Education? 
Blogging, Breaks and Mother Guilt 
That's Why We Homeschool 
Be Not Afraid
Finding Support for Homeschooling
Cruisin' Down the Homeschooling Superhighway
A Good Day of Learning

Who is she, anyway?

Who is she, anyway?
Former atheist. Current gawker at all things miraculous. Writer. Unschooly homeschooler. (Not an expert in anything, but I'll tell you what's worked for me.) Wife and mother who doesn't let a day go by without pining for a nap.

And I like coffee. A lot.

My most valuable work?

The three souls "Atticus" and I raised:

~ "Anne-with-an-e" (27)
~ "Betsy Ray" (24)
~ "Ramona Quimby" (18)

... along with our miscarried gang in Heaven. (Pray for us, kids. We need it every day.)
