Noah’s latest homeschool decision

In: Homeschooling

He wants to do K12 again next year. I know! He’s crazy. He likes all the busy work and random inane quizzes. He is so not me. But that’s the paradox of unschooling Noah — if I believe he knows his own way then I’m gonna let him do it his own way even though [...]

Allow me to introduce someone

In: Friends, Homeschooling

Abby is not exactly new to blogging. She’s been hanging out on the blog black hole that is myspace (oh the horror of the flashing banners) and she’s been reading most of your blogs for a long time. (Seriously, she is hep to the adoption world like crazy.) But now she’s finally come over to [...]

About Me

I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.

I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.
