Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Things do not change; we change.
~ Henry David Thoreau
Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more.”
~ Dorothy (The Wizard of Oz)
Change … that’s what my life has been all about for the past several years. So I suppose that means I’m alive!
When I began my first website (Unschooling in Alabama) in 1999, we had been homeschooling for three years. That was eleven years ago, although sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday. Much has changed in those eleven years. In 2002 I began this website in order to provide more information to homeschoolers. We were homeschoolers for eleven years in Alabama and one year in Florida, graduating three children from our home school in the process. Our two eldest children (Kat & David) are currently in college in Florida and our youngest child (Charles) is married and living in Alabama. In addition, we have a four year old granddaughter, Miss Munchkin. Our house was a three-generational household up until October of 2009 when my husband and I moved to Arizona for job reasons. It has taken some getting used to an empty nest after twenty-four plus years of children and grandchildren living with us. But time marches on …
… and now time seems to be what I have plenty of, so I am enjoying catching up on my crocheting and reading. I am learning to clog (which has been quite a challenge) and have just begun learning to play the guitar.
I also now have time to continue building this and other websites. Updates and site changes are in the future for LeapingFromTheBox.com. I plan to add more of my homeschooling and unschooling articles to the site! And I now have two blogs:
I also have two blogs:
The official LeapingFromTheBox.com Blog
and my personal blog, Musings, Mischief and Mayhem
Join me as I share my learning experiences and adventures!

P.S. And if you are wondering about the crown in my picture, it was near my birthday last year (spring 2009) and Miss Munchkin requested that I wear one of her many princess crowns for the day. What do you do when your granddaughter wants you to be a princess for the day? You wear a crown! My daughter snapped the picture and it has turned out to be my very favorite picture with a lot of good memories attached to it. Everyone should be a princess for at least one day!
