This is a continuation of our journey to Journey. It is a post I originally wrote 4 years ago. So, I have never really been thrilled with the public school system. It seems so geared towards teaching to the test. There is not a lot of inspiration too many worksheets the classes are SO big!

That was a long title! I don’t think T2 would even be going to OCSA if he hadn’t gone to Journey School. It was 4 years ago that I started my families journey to Journey. I blogged about it back then on my Enjoy Birth blog, but I thought I would repost those posts from
All this talk about T2’s School is making me reminisce about Starting Journey School Read More »
The only other possible hiccup about OCSA is the long days. T2 leaves home at 7. The kids have normal school from 8-2. Then conservatory classes from 2:45-4:45.

He had a week of soccer camp and really loved it. One afternoon I was a minute late picking him up and I walked up to the easy up where the coaches were and I only saw a big kid sitting by the tree. I was wondering where T3 was when it occurred to me,

Valerie and Angela had wanted me to go to Pam’s to “see if I had any issues”. They both thought I was so balanced, so they were curious if anything would come up. I on the other hand, love massages. I didn’t really think I needed therapy, but the massage sounded great. I also wondered

In my second session with Pam I discovered that I felt very disconnected to my family. One reason why I loved being pregnant and breastfeeding is I was CONNECTED literally and that was so fulfilling. It helped me feel connected emotionally too. Sudden and Forced Disconnection from Emergency Cesarean I discovered that this started with
