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.”
Melissa Wiley on Notice your secret wishes, write them down: “I need to add “impulses” to that flyleaf note when I move it to the next notebook. Which is satisfyingly…”
Kortney on November: “Love all these leaves. Especially the pile you stitched together!”

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.
