I admit I am not a huge fan of blogs, but love the idea of a place to record our homeschooling journey.  With a small house and 5 active people, there is not much room for storage, and I find myself avoiding the log I so nicely made up.  I am on the computer daily, though, and with it right here in the open I hope to use this more than I have been using the log.  Plus it's hard to upload pictures to a piece of paper LOL.

I chose "Unfettered Journey" as the title of this blog because our educational choices are not restricted as they would be in a brick & mortar school.   And our many diet restrictions (gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts) do not present the same challenges at home as they would in an institutional setting. 

So let me introduce our "active family": 

Me - the mom.  Hi.  I'm the executive producer of this family LOL.

DH = Hugo = locomotive engineer who works way too much but when he's home he's present and involved in a way many dads are not.  If we did not homeschool he would literally see the kids about 6 hours a week.

Daniel, 6.5 - firstborn son, creative and intense, loves trains, cars, and drawing and  the one with the most restrictions including a severe tree nut allergy.

Abigail, 6.5 - often lost in imaginary fairy worlds, loves to read and draw.  Her gluten sensitivity is what got us started on the path to health.

Patrick - the baby. Almost 2 and behind in expressive speech but smart as a whip and understands way too mcuh.  Loves trains just like his big brother.
