This is a great post. I have only been here a few months and don't have a lot of time to spend here but my experience is akin to yours and it gives me hope in what a whole year might bring. Thanks for your inspiring enthusiasm.
I do have a question for anyone that can answer. Why do some use the term unschooled instead of home-schooled? Are the children not learning at home and is this not a reflection of better schooling? The term unschooled makes me think of uneducated, untaught, feral. I will have to look up the definition.
I noticed you used the term home-based business as opposed unbased and I was just curious if anyone could explain the social understanding of the term, unschooled. Thanks.
Thanks! I wish you lots of success here too.
Unschooling basically means that the children are not following a curriculum and their education is interest-based. We don't have a list of what they must accomplish each year. Living is Learning.
Here's one post that I did recently which discusses it:

Thanks, I read that post, it was very interesting. I still think home-schooled or free-school are better descriptions of your efforts and philosophy but I get that unschooled is a protest against questionable educational tactics of the government which apparently is aimed at dumbing down not learning. Maria Montessori method is based on observing the needs of the individual child in each moment. Her story is amazing and I have always liked her philosophy. Congrats and kudos to you and all parents who do not leave their child's raising to the state. Thanks for the explanation.
Great question!!
