I Never Realized the Hittite Empire Was Shaped Like an Elephant

My hubby just sent me this: 5000 years of history in 90 seconds. Whoa.

I Am Such a Dork

I just saw an email in my inbox titled "A Note from the Real Hanna" and I was all, OH MY GOODNESS! The real Hanna Andersson must have come across my post about my Hanna book, and now she wants to be best friends and also send my children free clothes for the rest of their lives!

It was, of course, just a holiday mailer.

Well, hmph. I already have a best friend anyway.

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.
