Halloween ~ I Surrender
November 2, 2012
I took Brienne and Laurent trick or treating this week, walking through the woodsmoke scented neighborhoods of our town. You know what's strange? The French don't say "Trick or Treat". That's an English phrase. There is no French script for showing up the door and begging for candy. Without the ...
He Cooks ~ He Shops
October 19, 2012
One of our goals when we moved was to build a livelihood together at the intersection of our skills and passion, expertise and interests. We don't have a specific "career" in mind for either of us. Instead, we envision our work as an ongoing evolution of projects and ideas that ...
An Emerging High Schooler, Interest-led, Learner-Specific Homeschool Curriculum
October 15, 2012
Oh my word. That's a mouthful of a title. I originally started this post as an overview of all three of our kids' homeschool curriculum. Yikes. If I had continued down that track it would never have seen the light of day. So I decided to limit this to Céline's ...
The View Around Here ~ Warmth

Fall Running
October 8, 2012
I'm running this morning in a community race. One of the races we talked about this post at Outsideways. The last two family races we did I ran short distances with Brienne. I'm not much of a runner and but even I could handle the 1 kilmometer distance! Problem was, ...
Naysayers & Negativity ~ At Outsideways
October 3, 2012
In my coaching and comments from readers I've noticed a theme that comes up often. How do you deal with people who naysay your decision to homeschool, eat vegan, to home birth, etc. I've thought about this a lot because we've dealt with it in our own lives. Today on ...
Digital Organizing ~ Ideas & To-Do's
October 2, 2012
I've been mentioning on the blog how I'm going more digital in my organizing and home management. I haven't written any dedicated posts because I'm a relative newbie at digital organization and I wasn't sure how much interest there was from readers for something like that. Well, apparently, there's quite ...
