Learning in Freedom: I'm brilliant!

Learning in Freedom

Welcome to Learning in Freedom, a blog all about the learning adventures (and mishaps) of the Allen family. My four children are unschooled, following their interests and passions every day and living the lives of their choosing. The purpose of this blog is to share our every day lives (and my not-so-humble opinons) with anyone interested in stopping by. We hope this will give a glimpse of how natural learning unfolds from day to day......

About Me

Name: Ren Allen

Location: Jonesborough, Tennessee, United States

I was born and raised in the far north of Fairbanks Alaska where the moose trample your garden, northern lights dance and darkness rules the winter. Met my husband of 19 years while living in Portland, OR. I adore raspberries with lots of sugar and cream, lazy nights watching movies and drinking wine, hiking, gardening, beekeeping and traveling. I speak and write about our unschooling life, online and at conferences around the country. Some of the things I don't have time for currently, but plan to in the future, wine/beer making, building a cob house and falconry.

I'm brilliant!

At least someone else thinks this is true.;)
I was nominated by Marcia over at Live Free in Harmony for the Brilliante Weblog Premio 2008 Award.

Thank you for this honor Marcia. I am going to pass it along to a few of my very favorite blogs:

Julie Persons over at Two Small Birds
Danielle at Touch the Earth Farm
and Mary at Zenmomma's Garden

There are several others I read regularly, but these three stand out as uber-special for a variety of reasons. Amazing photography, intellectual discourse or spill-your-guts-make-you-laugh. I'll let you decide which is which.

I really keep this blog in order to inspire myself!:) It helps me look back over a period of time and see just what we DO accomplish or enjoy. It helps me see my children's interests over time and the natural rhythm and flow of season. I am always honored when someone else finds our exploits interesting.

Happy reading and blogging and writing and photographing everyone! But mostly, thanks for stopping by my little corner of the universe.
