Self-directed learning, permaculture in practice and everything in between

Welcome! I created this blog to capture the experiences of our family in our homesteading and unschooling journey.  In June 2011 we moved into a passive solar house on a 20 acre piece of land in Northern California. Our half hour commute from town, and a new baby, motivated us to take the much deliberated step towards unschooling for our four year old son. Months after we made this decision, I am convinced we are on the right track. Homesteading is a new journey for all  of us. What better opportunity to learn together as a family - and involve a whole bunch of interesting folk along the way? This blog is the space to reflect and  capture - to identify the precious moments when our homesteading activities turn into quality learning, increased connection and a deep sense of satisfaction for all involved.
