A nasty stomach virus is walloping our family today. I was up all night, sick sick sick. Scott was up all night taking care of sick sick sick me. Jane got hit next, though so far her bout seems milder (please oh please). This is the first time I’ve dragged myself downstairs all day. Now I’m dragging back up. So nothing new from me today. But you’ve got a new Carnival of Homeschooling to enjoy (so appropriate for today). And don’t miss this cool heads-up from Becky at Farm School.

Back to bed. Here’s hoping the other kids and my hero husband escape the plague.

Melissa Wiley on Notice your secret wishes, write them down: “It’s making me aware of just how impulse-driven the internet has made me! Shiny new objects/classes/books/ideas/systems at every turn! Eek.”

In 2006, a year after I began this blog, I coined the term Tidal Homeschooling to describe my family’s homeschooling style, an ebb and flow of
high tide (planned, Charlotte Mason-ish) and low tide (unschoolish, delight directed) learning. You’ll sometimes see me call it Tidal Learning. Seventeen years later (and counting), the metaphor still works. At the time of this writing (January 2023), I’m enjoying tidal homeschooling with Huck and Rilla, my two youngest, now in their teens.

If you’d like to read more about tidal homeschooling, there are a bunch of posts at this link.
