our shine

Welcome to our little patch....

...this blog is intended to chronicle our mad meanderings through our days as a family of life-learners...

 Savannah is a kindergarten drop-out, Sebastian has never been to school...we are wayward travelers on the road less taken...

We strive for simplicity and a sense of abundance in what we have...we honour the Earth and the cycle of seasons although we don't have any felted gnomes and none of us can carry a tune....

Our little abode is home to a variety of four-legged vagrants...and a few with fins....

We believe that all children should be honoured and respected for the bright shining lights that they are; that no child should be coerced, manipulated, punished or bribed...

We teach by example....and trust that our children will learn what they need to know, when they need to know it and do not shackle ourselves with standardized guidelines...

We believe that the current school system does more harm than good and so we chose to find our own way...

We believe that our children have far more to teach us, than we do, them...

This is our story....

....what's yours?
