“This week we want to…”
Enjoy a weekend at home. We'll probably plan an ice cream party and make our first batch of homemade ice cream. They have decided our first flavor should be vanilla. I would have went with chocolate, but vanilla can be good too. You can always stir in add ins. :)
“The kids are…”
DS12 used gift money to buy his first air soft gun. (I should actually make that plural. He bought a two pack.) I know these are popular with his peer group, but I had reservations. We had numerous safety discussions, and came to a consensus he was ready. I still am not 100% convinced these plastic air pellets are "environmentally friendly". Too bad the pellets aren't made up of natural fertilizers!
“I am learning….”
How to truly live a fearless life.
“I am struggling with…”
This next coming week was going to be my own personal staycation, but after having to take on an unexpected project this week, it means next week I will have to play catch up. I can also foresee more clean up work coming my way because others are over burdened themselves. I guess I have extremely high expectations of others, and I'm dealing with disappointment this week.
“This week is the first time….”
I'm going to try growing a tree from a cutting. My friend is making homemade growth medium using willow trees, and I'm bringing the cuttings from my neighbor's peach tree.
“I am grateful…”
To have options. Changes are on the horizon, but I will look for the opportunities rather than mourn the past.
“The best piece of advice I’ve ever received regarding our life path in unschooling was…”
There have been so many great pieces of advice! How can I choose the best?
DO WHAT FEELS RIGHT FOR YOUR FAMILY, AND DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO ANYONE ELSE.
My doubts about unschooling would only creep in when I tried to measure up to someone else's expectations, rather than what was best for my family's needs. When I finally let go and focused ONLY on MY children, that's when I could truly see how perfectly unschooling was working.

I love my ice cream maker that I got this year. Only dislike is that I have to plan ahead + make sure there is freezer room for the canister. We have a small freezer. What kind did you get? Is this your 1st ice cream using it?
Make some butterfinger ice cream! YUM!:o)
"Changes are on the horizon, but I will look for the opportunities rather than mourn the past." I love the way you said that!!
Homemade ice cream is THE BEST, and yes - vanilla can always be added to.... yum!
