Thanks for stopping by my blog! I’m an unschooling father of four – two boys, two girls – aged 12, 10, 5 and 10 months. I *love* giving a voice to the challenges, struggles, hopes and dreams we have as parents every day – especially when it comes to schooling and alternative education.

Have a read, and come say hello on Facebook or Instagram – would love to hear from you if any of these posts make you laugh, cry or think about something differently <3
