Happy Easter!

Posted by Brenda Hoffman on Saturday, April 7, 2012, In : Christian unschooling 
Not a whole lot new here but I did want to wish you and yours a "Happy Easter!" We've been stuck inside again except for the occasional walk and then next week it's going to get even colder yet (40s) and rule those walks out LOL I've managed to get almost all of my monthly cleaning chores done already and it's only the 7th of the month. I just can't sit still inside. I like doing things throughout the day then working around 4 - 8 PM then settling down with a good book. Mini Me is still on he...

The Holiday Season

Posted by Brenda Hoffman on Friday, December 2, 2011, In : Christian unschooling 
I keep forgetting to blog *DUH* LOL  We've been so  busy lately, it's as if Thanksgiving just flew by.  Mini Me did read a lot of great Thanksgiving books this year and we had an enjoyable time at my parents but I hate how fast the holiday season seems to go.  I know it's partially due to how busy we get but I don't want to be that busy this year, which is why we will not be doing a lot of the things that we busied our schedules with in the past.  Instead, I'm opting to watch many more Christ...

Christian I.CU

“This week we want to…”

I think that the biggest goal for this week should be for us to fall into our new fall schedule and get used to it.

“The kids are…”

Mini Me is keeping me really busy with all the stuff she has going on.  It's been a real juggling act.  While I knew it'd be busy I didn't plan on being this sick when I set it all up (I possibly had a stroke at the end of July so being out of the house is taking a real toll on me.)

“I am learning….”

To let go and trust that...

Scheduling

Posted by Brenda Hoffman on Saturday, August 6, 2011, In : Christian unschooling 
It's that time of the year again where most homeschoolers are putting together curriculum for next year and a big part of that is creating schedules.  Let me tell you how glad I am that I don't have to worry about schedules.  I don't know about you but that is one thing that simply never worked for me or Mini Me.  Of course, we do have things that we do and places where we must be but it's nice to not have every minute of the day scheduled.  I like to just flow with things.  Like taking a 2 h...

Lessons Learned Along The Way

Posted by Brenda Hoffman on Thursday, June 23, 2011, In : Christian unschooling 
"If you hold on to all your old ideas and fears and images of learning, every bit of that builds a curtain of "what should be" and you can't relax, see and appreciate what is." ~ Sandra Dodd

This quote makes sooo much sense to me.  We've been unschooling for about a year but I've just really truly let go over the course of 2011.  I've watched my daughter go from watching a lot of TV and playing a lot of computer games to actually doing a lot of great, neat things.  We know argue less and have ...

Downtime – What I Do Offline to Recharge

Posted by Brenda Hoffman on Tuesday, April 19, 2011, In : Christian unschooling 
I seem to spend a lot of time online.  This is because I work at home as a freelance writer and blogger but I must admit that it has also led me to choose to unschool my daughter.  Of course, before you argue that this isn't a good reason to unschool, you should know that this is only one of my reasons and that there are many more as well.

So, you may wonder what I enjoy doing while I'm offline.  The funny thing here is that I actually blog about what I enjoy doing in my spare time.  I love sp...

What in the world is Christian unschooling anyway?

Posted by Brenda Hoffman on Monday, March 28, 2011, In : Christian unschooling 
I was doing some reading and some posting this morning on a few of the blogs I follow when I came across a big debate.  People were questioning whether unschooling or classical homeschooling (in which Latin is taught and rote math drills used) was more "Christian."  Now I honestly don't think that we were ever called to debate Christianity in these terms and especially not when it comes to our children's education.  However, I'm not going to go into theology here.  What I'd rather say is this...
