Can you feel the love??


Love is in the air! I am feelin' it this week!

First up, the lovely April over at her brand spanking, schmick new website Learning Alongside has an interview series going on - "Interview With an Australian Home Educator". Last week she chatted with Tracey from Little Men in My Library, and this week, it was me!! I was very chuffed that she would consider interviewing me - it's quite a blast seeing your words on someone else's blog.

April is so passionate about home education and in particular saw the need for an Australian website that provided lots of information and resources. I chat with her a bit via email, about our kids and their needs and she's always open to new ways of looking at things. So do head on over and check her out :-)

And then, just when I was feeling all shiny, Erin from Seven Little Australians and Counting awarded me a Liebster Blog award! Listen to the lovely words she used to describe me:

Ingi is a fellow Aussie hser. I love reading about their families' learning journey, always interesting and Ingi's enthusiasm is inspirational.

Awww...I love that someone finds us inspirational! We'll keep doing what we are doing then!

This award was designed to direct traffic to less well-known blogs (less than 200 followers) and is designed to be passed around.

So, I'm going to share the love! These are some blogs I've been loving and they aren't huge, but provide me with much inspiration:

Nikole at Verde Mama - Nikole homeschools her 3 lovely daughters out the country (and her oldest just came home after a stint at school). I love her approach to life and her toe-dips into natural learning. I LOVE her photography - so much joy and love in her photos, which I'm so glad she shares with us.

Mona at Life with Intensity - Mona blogs about her Kidlet, who is exceptionally gifted and has all the intensity, asynchrony, and sensitivities that go with that. I love that she is brutally honest about the hard days and love watching her journey through all the jargon, emotions and impacts that these kids bring to the most patient of parents.

Deb at Not Inadequate - I'm not actually sure how many followers Deb has, but damn - she makes me laugh! It is one of the funniest blogs I've ever read. Deb is roadschooling and I'm loving following her adventures in spinach, bison and geoducks. Go on - you know you want to know more!

So, go spread some love! Go on, off you go...
