Between the Leaving and the Cleaving: Raising Yourself to Adulthood
Jun. 28, 2007

Our crazy year and where we are now...

 

I haven't posted in almost a year! Well, this last year had so many changes in it – no wonder!

We sold our portion of our business to some partners, sold the home we spent so much effort remodeling, and moved to the inland northwest. We did a lot of hard work, but it paid off. We were able to purchase a wonderful farm, and now my husband is home from work. Woohoo!!

Last year I was very relaxed as far as studies go, but I believe example counts the most so I was giving lots of examples. I love to learn. I am looking forward to sharing what I am learning and what we are doing as a family in the whole process called life.

My philosophy of education partly comes from my memories as a teen. My parents were very ahead of their time when it came to education. They took us on trips and educational adventures like whale watching, horse packing trips, and motor home trips that lasted for 3 months at a time. My mom would buy historical fiction to read about the area and once we even looked up a local author. My mom is really cool! Seriously. And now she lives with us! I am looking forward to telling you all the great things I learned and continue to learn from her. But let me make this key point....

 

In all my learning adventures I did with my parents and later on my own as a single woman (more then 20 years ago) I don't remember a whole lot about it.

 

Moms – It's not a test!

 

What I got out of all that experience was that I CAN LEARN!! I can find out things and go places and experience life all around me. It was the fact that I went to Gettysburg with mom and dad not that I remember how many died is a certain amount of days... I am curious, and I can learn.

 

Give that to your kids – it's a gift that will go on to the next generation!

More coming up... Really – I promise!

 

Toward your Learning Process,
