I came across your article in a back issue of Kindred magazine and linked here. We (being my husband and two daughters 3-and-a-half and 18mths and myself) have followed our hearts to the NNSW area very recently after 7 years in the UK. We seem to be on much the same 'page' as you as we are also on the steep learning curve that is conscious/unconditional/aware/natural parenting. Anyhow, we've been keen on unschooling since first hearing about it 3 years ago and thought I'd drop you a line to fish for a bit of info on the homeschooling scene in the area Happy Christmas! Karen HI Arun and Anne

I can't wait to see the live action version! It's a pretty cute dance--you must admit. You'd better start practicing your moves. :) Ha! I can’t wait to see the live action version!

We would love to meet you in person :D ill contact you direct to chat about what your plans are more shortly. btw – this whole elf thing is getting scarey... Anne & M are talking about actually learning the dance moves and i had to wait ages to check email because M was practicing her moves in front of the screen. Im afraid ill wake up to find a bunch of green velvet suits and red & white stripey socks... That is so exciting Colleen! We would love to meet you in person :D

I just got back from the doctor, though, and have started on antibiotics so hopefully I'll be up and running (or at least walking) soon. By, the way, I think we may be spending some time down in your neck of the woods come January. It looks like my husband is going to be working in Auckland, New Zealand for a few months! I'm hoping to hop over to Australia and visit some friends there, if we do it would be great to meet up with you guys at a park or something for an afternoon. I haven't said anything about it on my blog yet because I'm afraid I'll jinx it. :) It did make me feel better, Arun. :) Putting it together was the perfect diversion for me as I’ve done nothing but feel sorry for myself these past two days!

What's even funnier is that Michael doesn't even celebrate Christmas and is anti anything commercial to do with Christmas. He still managed to get a giggle and elf himself so we could send it to you darling peoples. Who knows, maybe he'll be dressing up as Santa next year. Glad u liked it Arun!
