I might as well make my first post an introduction for those who may stumble across this blog. I am in my 5th year of homeschooling (with a major unschooling bent) my 2 witchlets, Pixie and Loki. Ok, not their real names, but for the sake of some privacy, these are the names they have chosen.
I am a Georgian (Wicca) pre-initiate, an avid knitter, love to read, and a wife to an awesome guy. We have been together 14 years, and always have fun together. My husband loves to ride his motorcycle in the mountains, off-road... he's a gunsmith, truck driver, and great dad.
Pixie - 13 - is a passionate Irish Step Dancer, rabid about crypotzoology, the paranormal, and an all around teenage girl who loves to hang at the mall with her best friend. She wants to learn Japanese, and have an Irish dance school. Yeah, I know.. no connection.
Loki - 9 - loves hanging with his dad, getting the occasional motorcycle ride, trucks, and irritating his sister. He also loves his Game Cube when he finds a new game at the video store. He wants to live in New Zealand when he grows up, and own a cafe.
We are really relaxed in our homeschooling style and allow more freedom in their pursuits. I firmly believe they retain information that is of interest to them. Learning from doing is key!
So that is us in a nutshell. I am learning as I go, and just enjoying my family while I can.
