Welcome!

I am a liberal-minded homeschool mom who is constantly trying to find that elusive state of balance in my life while enjoying my two energetic, yet vastly different boys.

Our wisdom is all mixed up with what we call our neurosis. Our brilliance, our juiciness, our spiciness, is all mixed up with our craziness and our confusion, therefore it doesn’t do any good to try to get rid of our so-called negative aspects, because in that process we also get rid of our basic wonderfulness.

Throwing Marshmallows?

    Living Math has a New Look!

    Julie over at Living Math has given the website a whole new look! I just happened to click over to look for something and wow!

    I love the new template and the new colors. I have to say it is very inviting and really makes it so much easier to see what wonderful information she has to offer.

    I have been in love with Living Math for almost two years now. The approach of learning math through stories and history is just perfect for us. I highly recommend joining the email list (sub info is on the home page). The discussions have given me so many creative ways for approaching math...and I have learned a lot too! I really love that Julie is more about finding what works for your kids than about whether you use a specific curriculum or not. So you will find curriculum discussions, unschooling discussions and everything in between. But I find that even the discussions about curriculum are still focused on using the curriculum creatively and as a resource rather than as a strict guide.

    I have found that a Living Math approach works very well with global, non-sequential right-brained learners (at least with mine that is!)

    So stop by and take a look. My favorite section is the Reader Lists with book lists by math topics. Tons of great recommendations for all ages.

    I hadn't heard of Living Math before, but checking it out I think I love it.
