What does a typical day of world-school look like? Here’s a small sampling of the things we did and learned today on Ambergris Caye, Belize:
Physical Education/Health & Fitness
“This is a good workout, Mom.”
Snack time – healthy eating
Art
Science
Natural history
Marine biology
Observation and appreciation of nature
Math
Measuring, comparing and contrasting – Kimball with his ‘water depth’ measuring stick
Number values and currency exchange
Reading
Plus Pinnochio and Wind in the Willows on our Kindles! (LOVE the Kindles!!)
Social Studies
Teamwork and problem solving
Communication and interpersonal skills
Don’t forget preschool
And of course, character development
Patience
Plus so much more, that doesn’t have a photo.

“Reading your blog is better than reading a fiction book – incredible stories but they’re true!”
“Oh my. Hugs, high fives, and all the love and respect in the world are going out to you from me. Reading your blog made me shake my head and go ‘Wow, I’m so glad that there are people like that on this Earth!”
“‘Like’ is a vast understatement of how I feel about your book… I LOVE your writing. You so clearly express a jumble of gut feelings, and you giving them words just makes them more real in my life.
Not only do I admire the lifestyle you and your husband have created for your family, I feel deeply connected to your underlying purpose of intentional living.”
“You guys are inspiring! I love reading the stories. It’s intriguing really. It’s nice to see someone grab the bull by the horns and make things happen.
Now days its hard to find people with real passion and a desire to “live life on purpose”.”
