Beautiful Unschool Life

Добавлен 2 окт 2020
When my kids were younger and I was researching Unschooling, I always wondered what it actually LOOKED like. So, this is me, making the videos that I always wanted to see, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
We are learning to live true to ourselves. Trying to let go of everything the world has taught us about who we should be, what we should value, and how we should live. Instead we are learning to look to our hearts for guidance, and live true to our values.
The whole world is our classroom. And life provides the curriculum.

Single Mom Builds a Tiny House: Tiny Design

What I Know About Life (so far): Inner Peace and My Winter of Healing
Просмотров 1162 года назад
I've spent the past 5 months focusing on healing: both my body and my mind, and capped it off with a 10 day Silent Meditation course called Vipassana. Now, as spring arrives, I am at a place of such peace, calm, and clarity, that I felt compelled to make a video about the place where I am - mostly so that I can revisit it as life's ups and downs shake my certainty!

Unschooling is Life: Why I'm always talking about myself
Просмотров 892 года назад
My channel is supposed to be about unschooling. So why am I always talking about myself?! In this (somewhat repetitive) rant, I'll tell you why sharing my personal journey, building this new life for myself, is exactly what unschooling is about. It is about leading by example: living your life the way you want your kids to live theirs. If they see me working hard, and failing and trying again, ...
Tiny House, Big Decisions
Просмотров 1592 года назад
Enough of this Winter of Healing nonsense, it is time to get down to business! I will have 6 months to build a tiny house on wheels for myself and my kids to live it, so I need to get started!! But I can't decide on my foundation. Should I build on a $200 30 foot repurposed RV trailer? Or on a $10,000 purpose built, 28 foot tiny house trailer? Should I prioritize money or payload? This is a cry...

Once again, great episode. Loving following your journey. Thank you for sharing!
And I'm so glad you keep coming back! ❤️
Energy of Love...so very true. I am sending much Energy of Love to you....❤
❤️ It sounds cheesy, but it is true!
why you are not replying my email
I haven't seen it! I'll check my spam.
Waiting for the next episode! love from Georgia! <3
I'm so glad that you joined us! ❤️❤️
Just loving this series! Can't wait till the next episode! <3 Much love from Oro-Medonte, Ontario!
Beautiful corner of the world 😍 I'm so glad you are enjoying it!
Thank you for sharing so honestly. <3 Your kids are lucky to have you. <3
❤️ And I'm lucky to have them!
Is there anything better than kiddos pouring over their books while mom builds a tiny house with her own two hands, from scratch on a budget, barefoot? Not much that’s better than that!!❤
I'm certain there's going to be some safety conscious people absolutely dying over it 🤣
And that there is grit!!❤❤
Thank you 😊
Hello from BC! Wow, you are so inspiring! My heart ached for you in a previous video where you were trying to get an RV going at your ex husband's place, I believe. It brought to mind moments where.....all you can do is weep...and pray...and pick yourself up and keep going. Your story is so relatable and precious- from rock bottom moments, I'm sure, to building a dream and moving onward and upward. May God bless you and your children and your lovely home, AND your home school!
Yup. Picking ourselves up is something that a lot of us have had a lot of practice at. ❤️
Such an audacy!
That might be the best compliment I've ever received! 😍
@@BeautifulUnschoolLife come and live in Madeira Island.
Sooo enjoy and respect, and a bit envious ,of your determination.❤
Determination... stubborn persistence ... blind naivety... 🤣 Thank you for putting it in flattering words ❤️
Great video! Love following your journey! Thank you for sharing! <3
You are so welcome! ❤️
Great job...keep going!!!
Thank you, I am!❤️
🎉This is wildly inspiring! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉
That is wonderful to hear! Exactly what I was aiming for ❤️
We're buckled up and in for this ride!
Hurray! 🥳
Where are you now ? How is your actual situation? Greetings from Madeira Island.
I can't tell you here, that would spoil the ending! You will have to watch all 10 episodes to find out!
@@BeautifulUnschoolLife I suppose watched everything...you told you were returning to your ex husband house...is it right? Would you consider to come to Madeira Island ( Portugal 🇵🇹)?
Thankyou so so much for this channel and for being brave enough to share the vulnerability ❤ We are across the world, but I can relate so much!... Bad luck streaks designed to take you down, heartache and loss, the ways we can break and rebuild, and do hard things.. The struggles of trying to raise good kids who are their own true selves (not societies standard model) and are comfortable in that.. The way you speak about giving back to the land more than you take. Wanting adventure and seeking memorable moments with your kids.. THESE are the real things that matter in life 💝 Thankyou 🙏
What a beautiful comment! Thank you so much for sharing. It is such hard work, trying to live this way, swimming against the current, so feedback from people who see, who understand, that gives us strength to keep up the battle. We've got to stick together!
This is the best video you've made so far Erin. Your editing quality and production are top notch!
Thanks Mike! It is a very heavily edited video! Now you know why it took me 2 years to get these videos done 🤣
I enjoyed this episode SO much!! You set some huge goals! And did it!! Love this channel.
❤️ It was a heck of a lot of work that I did that summer. I'm proud of myself. This channel loves you too 😁
Thank you for these words of wisdom!
I'm so thrilled that you found them useful! ❤️
This sounds like my life right now!
Hopefully the part about chasing your dreams more than the part about failing epically 🤞
I have always wanted to do this btw ! :D
I hope you can find a way!
I am so confused how were you able to get a permaculture farm?! Does the government or individual patron help if you build a business house and grow the farm ?😊
Hi @viennabella4591 ! The farm belongs to an older couple who invited me to live and work there! I explain it in a bit more detail in the next video! I'm so glad that you came to find my channel!
❤🎉
I feel like I want to crowdfund and buy the movie rights! Looking forward to seeing more about your journey. Subscribed!
Sending my Unconditional LOVE to all
Glad to see an update on how you and your family have been.
Hi, Dennis! Glad you are still keeping tabs on me! ❤️
Reminds me of all the times your Dad had to jump my car when we were young. Surprised a Dually got stuck in the mud... twice.
Ahha! Awesome. It's a life skill, being able to jump start a car. My dually is a princess. I love her, but she's not a fan of manual labour.
Wishing ya'll the best on your new adventure! You are an amazing force to witness! <3 <3 <3
😊 Awwww, thank you! I'm glad you came along!!
Oh so excited to be watching you again! Thank you!!
I promised myself (and you) that I'd be back!
You are a fantastic storyteller
Thank you! 😊
Can't wait for the story <3
I'm excited to share it!
Gripping intro. Looking forward to the story.
Yay! So wonderful to see you and the girls again! Looking forward to hearing (and watching) your story!
I'm excited (and nervous) to share it! Glad you are still with us after such a long wait!
You are so lovely ❤
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!!
this channel really deserves a lot more subscribers. thank for this talk. I really needed to hear much of it.
I love to hear you say that! I will definitely let it go to my head! Hopefully I'll start posting videos again, and then maybe my audience will find me.
Thank you for sharing your journey. It is comforting to know that I am not the only one who unschools this way. I love to adapt to my boys. My youngest has ADHD, well probably all of us, but he is like your daugther. Constantly active and creative and gets bored easily. I am so amazed by his brain and I do get worn out by his seemingly endless energy. But, it comes up with some amazing ideas.
It is a wild ride to be on, witnessing these little amazing people find themselves and their place in the world!

You may want to lift up your gray water tank to allow for the spigot to be near the bottom and gravity flow to your garden hose. Otherwise you will have to have a pump. These plans are amazing and as a fellow single mother (who also homeschools!), I am very impressed and I’m rooting for you!
I'm still not entirely sure about the placement of my grey water tank, because it also needs to be below my bathtub drain, so some clever problem solving is called for! I'm so excited to meet another single homeschooling mom! We are few but we are mighty! ❤
Hope you finish the house.
Thanks for the tour!
You are so amazing!!! I can't wait to see it up :)
Hi Erin! I'm heading off in a few minutes for a canoe trip in Killarney provincial Park with a group of women friends and I won't be available on the 20th to give you a hand. Best of luck to you! If plans change I will definitely be in touch.
Oooo Killarney will be wonderful! Enjoy! I'll try to post an update after the 20th!

Hi Erin, Leo has this to say: From what you showed in the video it looks like the steel you need to drill through in the carriage frame is at least half an inch thick. You didn't mention what you are thinking to use to drill through that but I can tell you that using a household drill would not do it. My suggestion would be to find somebody local with an acetylene torch who could burn holes through the metal. One every three feet should be enough to secure your home to the frame using half inch galvanized carriage bolts. Best of luck to you!!
Thanks Leo and Maureen! The farmers here have lots of tools that I can borrow, I'll have to see if an acetylene torch is among them...
In regards to bolting with carriage bolts to the frame, every two feet is fine and 4 feet is a limit. As for messing with integrity of the trailer, Most of that is quarter inch, I would not worry about that, you should be fine. As for the ridge beam, look into an engineered beam instead, much stronger over that length and much lighter as well. For a covering that is light weight under the house, check out Libby manufacturing for high density polyurethane. It is very tough, basically it's the same thing ice rinks use for puck boards. They can make it in what ever length you want and basically I would just take the trailer there and make the sheet of the trailer. Not sure if they can do a full width, I have not talked to them in a while. Do this before you start, so transporting it is not a problem. That material comes in 1/8 to 1/2 thick, but could be thinner. Rock wool or Roxul is what I would go with personally. The difference between the engineered beam and laminated 2x6 is quite a bit I feel and may help with other things like insulation type. Just a thought. Here are a couple links. www.libbymfg.com and www.weyerhaeuser.com/blog/ridge-board-or-ridge-beam-which-one-does-my-roof-need/. The link in regards to the engineered beams is just one of many, just to give ideas.
Oh, these are some awesome suggestions. I've not heard of engineered beams, I'll look that up. The high density polyurethane is an interesting idea. I wonder how expensive that is...
@@BeautifulUnschoolLife Years ago, it was between $80 and $100 for a 4x8 foot sheet. The 1/8 thickness would be much less.
❤️
Only just found your channel. I really admire you and I am learning so much from you. Thank you and looking forward to being with you on your journey. Xx
I'm so glad to have you here!
Thank you for sharing!
Awesome to see you here, Kara!!
This really spoke to my heart. Thank you for taking the time to teach your children the complexities of life. We embrace life and death as well in our home with our young kids. Respect for life has gone out the window in this generation and it's good to see people really take in the responsibility for their children and animals.
Thank you, Lauren! I've been asking myself a lot, lately, How do you raise healthy kids in a broken world? It is a strange challenge, for sure.
