There are a few of us... I'm here since February 2023, with a bit of a break at the end of last year until a bit recently 🤩 View quoted note →

GN ✨ Time to get off here because #fomo #nostriga and #zapping all my sats seeing all the cool stuff ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ Photo: Throwback to some time in January when the sun came out 😅 #roadtrip #tawharanui #newzealand #digitalnomad #family

GM at past lunch time. 🤷‍♀️ Photo from yesterday. Today I'm looking around my Alby Hub and might attempt to connect some of my family to my hub. 🤩 Will progress update later. 🤞

GN ✨ Not much in my mind tonight. I'm enjoying our road being closed (a landslide is covering the highway). My head hurts and I'm tired. 😅 Just another day closer to move out day. 💫 #mumlife #worldschooling #newzealand #digitalnomad #family

GM (it's totally lunchtime) 😅 I snapped this photo this morning. 🌋 It's a beautiful day. We've been to a #homeschool meetup and now we're home to take a nap. 😴 #mumlife #unschooling #newzealand

GN ✨ This week I topped up my GetAlby wallet to pay for my Alby Hub... Now I'm back #zapping replies and just whatever without even really thinking much. #onlyzaps is so much better with sats in my wallet. #pleasedontgotozero 😂

I'm slowly adding stuff to our Youtube. When we stayed at Phong Nha Farmstay, they had their Youtube channel playing constantly with all their family memories. It made me think I should do the same. One day, if we ever stop moving, we can play our Youtube channel of memories. 😅 Although I can't say I really love it being on Youtube. For now I can't think of an easier / better solution. ▶️ In case anyone is interested, this video is South Island - Christchurch to Hanmer Springs to Kaiteriteri to Picton (February 2020) 🙌 #video #memories #worldschooling #newzealand #hanmersprings #kaiteriteri

Sharing this from a home ed group I'm in - written by a homeschooled now adult: Hi everyone! I'm 23 years old and I've been Unschooled for my entire life, as have all of the kids in my family. I see a lot of comments in this group and online asking for success stories of grown Unschoolers/Homeschoolers, so I wanted to take a moment to address that, as an adult Unschooler. I'm sure there are other people who feel differently, but I've never liked those comments. I understand our experience being valuable, but there is a lot of pressure on us home educated adults to be "successful". Part of reaching adulthood for us is realizing that sometimes parents still expect us to conform to systems like college and/or traditional work force arrangements, despite the fact that we were raised in an unconventional system. Some of us home educated adults have "successful" jobs/careers, while others have minimum wage jobs and are struggling, and that's not because we didn't go to school, it's because we're trying to start our adult lives in the worst economy American has seen since the Great Depression. Too often in my experience are we used as reasons for or against parents Unschooling their kids. I will always share my experience with those who are interested, but my life story shouldn't be a factor in whether or not you should keep your kids out of school. Stop focusing on "will they be successful" and start thinking about what children need NOW. There is no way to out maneuver a toxic system, and no amount of "early education" can prepare children for a world of broken people and dangerous circumstances. But they can be taught how to find joy and peace in the world they're in, and strive for a better one because they've been shown how to love and how to love and value themselves. Children shouldn't be Unschooled because they "can still be successful", they should be Unschooled because it's what is natural, and it's the right thing to do. If parents can't see that, can't see how broken every school system is, they're not paying attention. Speaking as someone who's grown up around Unschoolers and school kids alike, I can promise you that whatever fears you have about Unschooling don't matter. We all integrate, we all learn, we can all "keep up" and get jobs. But maybe you should have better priorities for us. Thanks Annelise Nicole for giving me to share this here. #homeschooling #unschooling #selfled #education #parenting

GN ✨ My thought for my evening. Usually, the only thing you can change is yourself. 💛💫 I'm forever in a process of self-improvement. Always trying to do better. Sometimes it is 1 step forward, 2 steps backwards... But eventually I make progress. 🕊️ Photo: Throwback to August 2018 patting a kangaroo in a park (maybe a wallaby - I'm not Australian 😂) #gn #australia #kangaroo #travel #family #digitalnomad

I finally got around to setting up my self custody lightning with Alby Hub. Thanks @Alby for making this so easy. It took like 3 minutes. It was easier than I expected. Easier than I thought possible. I can highly recommend this to anyone interested. You won't regret it. 💯

GM ☀️ The sun is shining sort of. It's a great day to be working from home. 🥶 Happy Monday 😁

Today. Tired. Will try again tomorrow. 😴 Photo: Throwback to May 2024 when I found myself transported halfway around the world to a city I dreamed of visiting since 2010. ✨🗽 #mumlife #nosleepfordays #newyork #manifestingmydreams

GN 😴 Photo of the day. A Buzzy Bee. Taken by my 2 yo. 🐝 She snapped other shots including a nose, a bench top and a microwave. 😅

I learned something new today. DVM. Sounds cool. I must check this out... Tomorrow. 😴 View quoted note →

Seriously. I forgot to GM this morning. I even took a photo. And I'm so sure I recall writing something about waking up at 4am thinking about great work ideas on my day off. 🤦‍♀️ Anyways. I had a great day off work visiting my nana who recently moved into a retirement home after spending three months in hospital (she's ok, just keeps falling). I'm trying to see her as often as we can since we don't have a lot of time left here... Time is precious. So make every moment count. 💯💜

GN ✨ #sunset #lovelifeanditlovesyouback 💜

My thought for the day... Life is short. Love your kids. Give them as much time as you possibly can. Or children are our most precious treasures. 💜🧡 #parenting #mumlife #grateful
