Well, we have done it! After 8 years of doing school at home, we have officially crossed over to the Unschooling side!! How freeing! We were very eclectic using all types of different methods. We would Unschool at times & it was great but then we would become more structured. I had a long talk with the children & asked them what THEY would like to do. They want to be Unschooled like we did in the past. Before that they all liked the structure so we went with it. I have always asked the children what THEY want to do in regards to their education.

I have many, many books on homeschooling & Unschooling. I also belong to the Always Unschooled group. We have tons & tons of books, learning materials, crafts, games, puzzles, educational toys, & more. We have always talked, done yoga/exercised, cooked, baked, gardened, learned & practice herbal medicine, read, explored nature, take of our pets & animals, shopped, played, collected things, (crystals, gems, stones, shells, feathers, & other things) followed astronomy, learned about others religious/spiritual beliefs, go to different churches, hang out with my children's friends, (i'm the cool mom-LOL) hang out with my sister & my niece, gone to museums & zoos, gone antiquing, & SO MUCH MORE!!!

I've come to the conclusion that Unschooling has always been in my blood. I would've done it sooner for good but I always listen to what my children need. They have never been to school but loved working in workbooks & texts. But now, they wish to have a more relaxed education so I am all to eager to provide that for them! Unschooling is so cool! I am so grateful for this Tribe. (As well as my other Tribes.)
