About

Labels don’t fit. Not ‘homeschooler”, not “unschooler” not “classical educator”. We are a family. We learn, we play, we read, we fight, we laugh, we struggle, and we discover together. We shun the calendar and packaged curriculum. You won’t find a “teacher’s guide” with a schedule making me it’s slave within these walls. What you will find is a group of people, sometimes rough around the edges, digging in the dirt to grow things, reading books to expand our minds, paint up to our elbows, chickens in the yard, something simmering on the stove, and maybe tea on the front porch….this is a record of The Rhythm of Our Days. Living, Learning, Laughing, and Loving.

We are:

Mom: primary blog author, somewhat passionate red-head who does not like to be put in boxes.

Dad: sometimes blog author, also a somewhat passionate red-head who finds order to be a beautiful thing.

Firstborn: 10 year old boy wonder; proof that yes, one can be born 40 years old.

Sunshine: nearly 9 years old and at the height of glorious girlhood that is sometimes quite tomboyish

W: 6 year old caped crusader and resident comic

Phat Baby: very cool Giant Baby, nearly 2 and into everything.
