Now that everyone else is gearing up for the school year those of us who unschool are finally starting to slow down. I know that we personally have had a busy summer full of all sorts of educational opportunities which have kept me from blogging, and I am sure many others are finding the same thing. Now that more people are blogging again I am finding some great articles from other Christian unschoolers that I want to share with you all. To simplify matters I will share them here (at least weekly) when I run across them. For those who write here, you are welcome to share your finds as well. Today I found two great ones that reflect our own educational journey this summer which I would love for you all to see.
Penny over at Seeds and Dreams just wrote about their recent experiences with the changes they have made to their homeschool style in happenings of life and love learning
Christy over at Growing Urban Wildflowers shared a wonderful specific experience that is the perfect illustration of how unschooling works and why in On Tying Bows.
Former teacher turned Christian unschooling mom, artist, geek wife of a work -at-home geek with 3 geeklings. Our lives are full of gaming, reading, writing, baking, and making lots of messes. I blog about our daily life at An Untraditional Home and share my creative endeavors at Elasah.com.

thanks for the shout-out, Heather! I seem to come to these obvious revelations quite randomly, hmmm… just like unschooling?!
thanks for including me in this post!
Oh, so it’s not just me who finds summer the busier season…we’re so totally disorganized, here. And we’ve only had one week of real summer weather, the rest of the time it’s been cold as late spring or early fall.
And, Christy, ugh, I remember the bow-tying enforcement in kindergarten. I happened to be the first child to do it in the teacher’s sight, and there was one kid who absolutely couldn’t. I was set up as the class example that others were supposed to live up to (oh, great). The one non-tying child was so ashamed that she couldn’t get it.
