Stupid Idea

Deciding to paint your toenails when you are nine and a half months pregnant.

Seriously, I don’t know what possessed me. I never paint my nails. And I haven’t even seen my toes in three months. I can’t see them now.

Which may be a very good thing.

Check out these great photos of the Lapaz Farm family’s day at the creek!

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.
