The way that you describe balancing following our kids' lead and guiding their way with strewing is just right. I, also, have two very headstrong and determined girls who do not respond well to "teaching".<br /><br />Thanks for hosting Unschool Monday!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600694619101352923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402465881767446501.post-86669968925908450422011-10-11T07:14:58.648+11:002011-10-11T07:14:58.648+11:00I loved this post so much, Lauren. Because it'...I loved this post so much, Lauren. Because it's all about what feels right in the moment, isn't it? About following yes 'til it naturally comes to an end (or pauses, or flows into something else). About offering up ideas when people are open to hearing them. About being part of the flow, being part of Yes, being part of that gorgeous wondering energy kids have in bucketloads. Yum, to all of this!<br /><br />I love that Big Owlet was so amazing and adventurous in her tent. That's really inspiring. And I love where it took your girls—the Miracula Funfair looked wonderful! How magical it must have been for you all. And the pic of littlest owlet in the tent is scrumptious. <br /><br />Then the altered books. Gorgeous! I thought, 'Oh, majikfaerie has been writing about that too, how great.' Then I saw your link going straight to that very post. Ah, I love this community, all this connection. Isn't it lovely?<br /><br />And LegoQuest we've really enjoyed, and art makes our world go 'round, so all up, Hooray to your days, which would fit our lives to a 't', too! I so love the learning that goes on in your place, Lauren. I so love the joy that comes, so naturally, out and through and all the way to us. Thank you, so much. :)Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560926974431305982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402465881767446501.post-19324750110622832642011-10-10T21:16:32.337+11:002011-10-10T21:16:32.337+11:00I LOVE reading about the process - how you move fr...I LOVE reading about the process - how you move from one thing to another. Trust and it will happen! We have had (before the latest horror weather) our play tent out on our porch, and it does make a lovely alternative play spot, with lots of cushions and books...<br />And thanks for introducing me to altered books - am so intrigued...bethhttp://www.miaowthecat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402465881767446501.post-5750601135511295782011-10-10T21:16:08.507+11:002011-10-10T21:16:08.507+11:00Yay for Big Owlet braving the wilderness alone at ...Yay for Big Owlet braving the wilderness alone at night!

I had no idea that the letter I wrote her was going to become a blog post, so it was so exciting for me to watch a new altered book come into being, and that I was part of it!<br />I first learnt about altered books while living in Hobart, my favourite place in the world. Say hello for me!Lady Demelzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889790311533568611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402465881767446501.post-38494365755735489622011-10-10T10:49:13.612+11:002011-10-10T10:49:13.612+11:00Oh I loved backyard camping as a kid!

My folks used to set the tent up to air out when we got back from camping trips and I'd always want to play in it.<br />I had it in the back of my mind that it would be great to do this when my sproggets are older, but we could set it up & they could play in it during the day now. We don't have to wait until they're old enough to sleep overnight in it.<br />Fabulous idea... thanks for the inspiration!Kimberleyhttp://www.wildecrafted.comnoreply@blogger.com
