Love's Tarot Journal Entry:
When my children were little I definitely experienced a 10 of Wands life. Because of my own childhood experience, I was determined that my children would never attend school. Therefore, I did with them what is called Unschooling. Similar to homeschooling, unschooling is more of a child-led education. It was a lot of work but I loved it. It was my intention to do everything I could to provide them with exposure to as much as possible, to stimulate them with as much variety as possible, always taking advantage of the freedom from walls and books whenever possible. It was a huge responsibility to make sure they learned the basics of everything. Often the housework and laundry would be neglected as we prioritized field trips, activities, and social gatherings. It was rare to have the house all clean and organized. I regularly stayed up late at night preparing lessons and activities. But, then, I still had a part-time job as well as other side things that I did to make money. Most of my money went back into paying for gas, books, entrance fees to whatever we might be doing, and supplies for projects at home or with our unschooling community of families. It was non-stop work and focus but I would not have traded it for the world. I loved being with my children and raising them without government-based education.
