Raising A Revolution

Us, waiting for our offers to come in....Beach visit. I took my own advice @withmy2hands and lay down on the stones looking at the sky and listening to the waves. I needed to recharge. It worked. Then the big kids walked home and I walked our normal circuit. Came back refreshed and ready to face those final four hours of the day.Look at this cutie pie. 💖 Yesterday we had our last open home. I was so exhausted by the end of it that when the last people came through I didn’t even get off the couch. I was done with cleaning and styling and packing and politeness and small talk. I’m so glad it’s only on the market for 2 weeks!! It’s been an experience full of learning for me and I’m really pleased I did it. If everyone could just cross their fingers for a magnificent offer for me to open tomorrow afternoon, that’d be great!! 🤞 🤞 🤞 After the last person left I bundled Alfie into the biggie and took off for a walk to blow out the exhaustion and fug and listen to #thisamericanlifepodcast. As you can see Alfie loved our walk too! . . . . #famkessels #raisingarevolution #intrisicallymotivated #unschooling #learninginourownenvironment #adultlearning #adultunschooling #deschooling #learningonthejob #magnificentoffers #fingerscrossed #exhaustedrealestatemamaAnd meanwhile.... #bigkids #roughandtumble #bedtime #everynight #neverenough #moremoremoreWell hello Mr 6mo Alfie Smarty Pants. . . . . #famkessels #raisingarevolution #unschoolingwalking #thatsnotathingright #eachintheirowntime #walking #reading #writing #maths #whatever #intrisicallymotivated #learninginourownenvironmentLook at those promising air bubbles!!! Bread is getting lighter and fluffier and yummier. Experimenting with ratios of different flours and with the water. It’s so exciting to see how each loaf turns out! . . . . . #famkessels #raisingarevolution #adventuresofagfbaker #adventuresofagfbreadbaker #unschooling #learninginourownenvironment #lifelearning #learningaswegoHonestly the kid can only just crawl but he’s on to bigger and better (and higher!) things. Watching him navigate the world is so inspiring. He tries, tests, readjusts, falls, learns, tries again. Learning is innate, and self-driven, and self-directed, and intrinsically motivated. A good reminder to me!! . . . . . #unschooling #famkessels #raisingarevolution #learninginourownenvironment #selfdrivenlearning #naturallearning #childledlearning #intrisicallymotivated #lifelearning #learningbalance #learning3d #learningsenses #sensorystimulation #3rdbaby #playingcatchup #adventurerThe bread is improving!! (see what I did there??!! 😂) And the kids are slowly forgetting what shop bought bread tastes like... I can make 4 loaves of this bread for the same as one loaf of store bought gf bread. That’s a win!! . . . . . #unschooling #famkessels #adventuresofagfbaker #adventuresofagfbreadbaker #learninginourownenvironment #raisingarevolution #raisingbreadtoo #nicecrustBed time means... reading. We’re reading Colin Dann’s The Animals of Farthing Wood at the moment, first published in 1972. I love it for its magnificent vocabulary, and the ever-timely story of humans’ impact on nature and smaller creatures, and its theme of cooperation. Highly recommended it! . . . . . #famkessels #unschooling #raisingarevolution #learninginourownenvironment #oldstories #vocab #lovemesomenewwords #dinningmeanstomakeadin #unschoolingenglish #unschoolingecology #unschoolingbigpicturethinking #empathy #caring #lovereading #lovesnugglesTalking About
