Blogger’s Choice Awards

June 21, 2007 @ 7:28 am | Filed under: Uncategorized

I keep forgetting to mention that I’m in the running for "Best Educational Blog" in the Blogger’s Choice Awards. So is my fellow ClubMom blogger, Denise, of Fast Times at Homeschool High! Right now we are running 6th and 7th in that category (out of over 400 nominees).

Lilting House was also nominated for "Best Parenting Blog" and (blush) "Hottest Mommy Blogger," but I’m so far down the ranking in those categories it probably isn’t worth your time to vote for me there. Find someone else you like and give them a push instead. But it’s nice to know that two people out there (besides my husband, who hasn’t gotten around to voting yet, AHEM) think I’m hot. Heh.

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.
