Illustrations & writing to celebrate free minds & wild hearts.
Established in Spring 2020, this space is a blog dedicated to the joys and challenges of living an unschooled life. Unschooling is home education which follows an ethos of self-directed learning and consensual family living.
This is not a space for perfect drawings or perfect words, but rather a way of using art to tap into our unschooling story, and tell it with authenticity and a dash of self-depreciating humour.
I hope it inspires someone out there. I hope you know, you are not alone, and that even on difficult days, this is a way of life worth fighting for.
