Enjoying the #lakedays under #tinhatmountain with some close #observation. The water is just teeming with #exoskeletons and other clues that #Spring is here. We found this master at #camouflage and believe it's a caddisfly #larvae, which "excrete a sticky silk from their mouths and use it to build a hard case from objects in their #habitat, which includes stones, leaves, and shells." Or in this case, tiny tiny #sticks. This one was a floater but also found one who built a home from wetter materials (dead leaves, mostly) and sunk. The case is a #triangle on one end and a #hexagon on the other. It's a feat of #creativity and #mathematics. Much respect for the little #bug. Collecting and drying empty cases for who knows what... 😍 Also swipe for a look at Dads's floating #bean #garden. It's less magnificent than past years, but I included it because what's a better sign of Spring than #food growing? Is it #aquaponics ?? #deadmarkeralchemist #natureschool #unschooling #unschool #homeed #schooliseverywhere #powelllake #selfdirectedlearning #learnwithplay #learnoutside

Follow trains are a great way to connect with other homeschool families, and this one is for the secular homeschoolers out there. ✨ It can be hard to find secular families in the homeschool world, so here's what you do: ✨Follow @that_secular_mom ✨Ask for image and script ✨ Follow accounts using this image with the tag #secularmomfollowtrain ✨Like and comment on images. That's it!! #secularhomeschool #secularlife #homeschooling #homeeducation #hsmom #secularmoms

Hanging out in our fav #cedartree and #unicornpjs today. Feels good. #bigtree #deadmarkeralchemist #play #learnwithplay #attachmentparenting #wildfamily #homeschoollife #natureschool

●"Mom, is this a bear bell?" ●"Yah" ●"Can we bring it to the bears?" ●🤣🐻 We are learning about being safe in the trails. Spring is here, and I have spotted close to 10 (definitely more than 5) individual black bears from the kitchen alone. We live in the forest. They are expected, but always a surprise to see. This beauty bag from @oraleathergoods is the perfect accessory for chasing toddlers along the trail. It's a Stevie bag with pockets (I'm all about the pockets!) and so comfy, I convinced this reluctant model to show it off for a quick pic on our walk to Oma's. Much appreciated right now as we layer up and down with the ever changing Spring weather. I've got my down coat, her sun hat, toys and our sunglasses all packed in there. Dreaming of getting her a little mini version soon 😊 #getoutside #mombag #handmade #localbusiness #blackbear #wildfamily #natureschool #unschooling #deadmarkeralchemist

The ECouture wearable art fashion show is an amazing display of both slow fashion and community capacity building. Encouraging an impressive number of young designers, the show provides a unique celebration of creativity. Seeing teenage designers strut the runway in their original designs is so inspirational. I hope we get there one day! This year, Miss 2 did her second show. Her bag and skirt (and my jewelry) were all created using a #vintage cotton shirt that was #madeinCanada and belonged to my Oma. Before photo of shirt previously posted. We made a knot bag by sewing the bottom of the shirt closed and cutting off the collar and sleeves, leaving just enough material for the handles. The sleeves were spirial cut into strips which we tied into the tutu. Other small scraps were used for jewelry and hair ties to make the most of the original garment. After the runway I said thanks to Ada for doing that with me. She replied "Thanks for doing it with me, Mom!" 😍😍😍😭 #timetogether #slowfashion #ecouture #homeschoollife #attachmentparenting #selfdirectedlearning Also got to rock some sweet stuff from @oraleathergoods and fell in love with all of it!

The mudpit. We love it. Oyster shells are great for digging. Also found a few pairs of mating snails...and pulled those invasive breeders apart 😅 no snail babies wanted anywhere near the new lettuce. They are hermaphrodites, but I am pretty sure we saw a penis or two. Or whatever that tube is named... #springtime #growingourownfood #natureplay #natureschool #unschooling #gowiththeflow #mondays #deadmarkeralchemist
