The very, very squiggly story of how we became a home educating family, including: • How we ended up at financial rock-bottom as 30 year olds (with two young children). • How despite that we’ve made it possible to always have at least one of us not working and at home with the children. • How we found the experience of attending three different schools across two different countries. • How a serious chronic illness threatened to derail our life plans, but actually helped keep us on the right path. • How our first attempt at homeschooling was an exhausting mess. • How we started de-schooling ourselves, and eventually settled into unschooling. You know how you look at those families online and say ‘wow, life has been so easy for them - no wonder they can make a lifestyle like that work’? Yeah, that's not us.
