So Much Growth
I’ve been learning so much about myself through the good and the hard things. I think that’s the way life goes… there are always going to be hard things to learn and grow through. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that life is a roller-coaster… and honestly, I’m learning to be okay with that. Without the…

Healing Isn’t Linear- An Update About Our Beautiful Life
I have been pretty busy these days, so blogging hasn’t come so easily. I will sit down to write, then I get distracted because I have other things to focus on. I think this is a good thing, though. I don’t have a lot of “sit around” time. This blog has always just been my…

Healing Through Being Wild and Free
My family and two other families at camp went to the Gila National Forest to camp for 5 days (well I guess technically 3 because a day of driving on both ends). The purpose of this trip was to do some research and development for a trip that Robert is going to do this summer…

The Crosland Homestead
So. Much. Is going on right now. We are in the middle of a world-wide pandemic. The first in 102 years. It affects hundreds of countries. Lots of people are contracting the Coronavirus which is leading to the Covid-19 disease. Businesses are closing. People are out of jobs. Restaurants are doing pick up or delivery…

What Does Wild + Free Homeschooling Look Like For Us?
The Wild + Free website says: It says nothing about methods, educational philosophies, or a certain way to homeschool. It just shares about giving our children a quality education (whatever that means for our own family) and to let our kids be kids (in whatever way works for our family). I was so thrilled to…
