I used to say that homeschooling was our lifestyle but now I say our lifestyle is our homeschool!
Lifestyle Homeschool is about discipling our children; about character training, about everyday life giving learning opportunities, about Bible study and practical skills. Your lifestyle will provide the experiences that will give your children a rich education.
Last week we went camping - we try to go camping at least once a year. This time though we headed up the Gibb River Road which is synonymous with dust, corrugated roads and did I mention dust!
This is the Pentecost River - did you see the movie "Australia"?
This was the river they drove across.
Many of the campers had tidy little set ups - not us!
We seem to ramble on - but we are comfortable!
This trip will be remembered by Daddy's resourcefulness.
We forgot the tripod so Pete improvised thanks to his
fencing wire. The same fencing wire fixed bits of the car
that rattled and would have fallen off.
Daniel set in to do some drawing
Though we took lots of games "Take Two" was the flavour
of our time. And yes, that is a computer you see there.
I tend to wake early (as I do at home) so I often write
before anyone else wakes up.
Daniel learnt to play "Patience" or "Solitaire". He was
so excited - all he thought about as we drove home was
getting near a table so he could play again!! One week later
his enthusiasm has worn off.
We headed off for a bush walk - the idea was a
1 hour walk to a waterfall at the end of the
gorge.
The rocks on the left side of the water is the direction
we came from. It was a very rocky walk.
It was worth it!
Back at the waterhole near our campsite was great
for swimming. Rubber Tubes were supplied. Pete
had the kids connect to each other and then row
the length of the swimming hole - which was really a section
of the river more than a 'hole'.
We had a great time but not sure that we want to drive that far next year.
What an amazing adventuresome trip! However will you settle back into everyday life? lol
Blessings,
Jillian

Wow, that is beautiful! I loved looking at the pictures. I felt like I was visiting there. How can anyone say there isn't a God when you see the beauty of what he created. No big bang can create that.
It took Robyne and I one and three quarter hours to walk to the Gorge and one and a half back. But it was worth it wasn't it?
The rocky up and down ravines were a killer on the feet weren't they?
Well done family!
A place to share the things that happen in my family. The longer I homeschool the quicker I realise that these are not just everyday family happenings - they are the experiences that are educating my children.
Learning Happens
Journal entries to remind myself that learning takes place in regular family life
Lifestyle Homeschool
Articles to encourage the why and how of discipleship education.
Be a Deliberate Parent
We need to know where we want to take our family, and how we are going to get there. We need to be very deliberate in our training of our children.
Homemaking
In amongst the parenting, the training, the homeschooling I must remember that I am also a homemaker.
Just my Thoughts
A mix-match of ideas as they come to me - covering all my hats - wife, mum, homemaker, homeschooler, friend etc...
Walking with God
The occasional devotional thought
