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......
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. I adore raspberries with lots of sugar and cream, lazy nights watching movies and drinking wine, hiking, gardening, beekeeping, writing, creating art and traveling. I live with my life partner Keith and the five children we brought into our relationship. My current career is in makeup artistry where I get to meet interesting people and paint diverse faces and bodies!

I tagged you. See my blog.
Very cute indeed. :) Did you look it up? I just checked Wikipedia and it says:
The earliest variant of the name that became Tennessee was recorded by Captain Juan Pardo, the Spanish explorer, when he and his men passed through a Native American village named "Tanasqui" in 1567 while traveling inland from South Carolina. In the early 1700s, British traders encountered a Cherokee town named Tanasi (or "Tanase") in present-day Monroe County, Tennessee.

That's pretty cool Michael! Thanks for the tidbit, I love those odd pieces of information. Something I never bothered to ask about.:)
