« Previous EntriesA Little Inspiration: Young Heroes
Monday, February 22nd, 2010Oddee has a nice and inspiring article posted yesterday titled 10 Amazing Little Heroes. It features 10 children who went beyond what any child would do, or even what most adults would do, to save someone.
It never ceases to amaze me to see what children can be capable of. We often assume that they are too young to understand [...]
21 Ways For Your Children To Help Haitian Earthquake Victims
Saturday, January 16th, 2010I don’t think anyone is unaware of the horrible events that have left over 50 000 Haitians dead, and rising. Time to show the world what kids can accomplish…especially homeschooled kids!
Pray
No one can really deny the power of prayer. Since at least the dawn of recorded history, and regardless of what your personal religious beliefs [...]
Girls will be girls!
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009My two little ones have been keeping me on my feet! Today was certainly no exception! After we spent some time painting together, they decided they each wanted a bath.
…then after Dawn safely got out of the tub, I felt the need to grab a nap. I woke up to this:
Yup! Things are as active [...]
The Life and Trials of an Adult Unschooler
Friday, October 16th, 2009After my return from the library with my two daughters and a backpack full of books, I realized that in my own journey, I’m no different different from them.
I have two other blogs that have just taken off: Laura’s Cool Stuff and Personal Development for Lazy People, and need to learn new marketing techniques to [...]

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009What a wonderful Canada Day we had! My father, along with Dawn, Emily and myself headed down to Leduc to take part in the festivities away from the drunken city.

Dawn and Emily continue to amaze me in how quickly they are growing and changing!
Please stay tuned for [...]
Welcoming a New Member to Our Family
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009Pumpkin came to us on Friday thanks to the 4PawsRescue Society. I hunted around Craig’s List and Kijiji and strangely, couldn’t find anyone giving away a cat that interested us (usually there’s an over-abundance).
I then did some research and found out that PetSmart had an adoption program. Instead of selling cats or dogs, they have [...]
A Sign Of The Times…
Saturday, January 24th, 2009Chris Brogan flagged this one down from twitter.
One of Playmobil Toys‘ more err…interesting releases recently is the Airport Security Checkpoint which lets children move their plastic men through airport security on their way to catch their flights. It’s kinda sad when such a toy is developped to make children more at ease with travelling. I guess [...]
