My name is Pam Laricchia and this website is where I gather up and share my ideas about unschooling and life. My family has been unschooling since 2002 and it continues to be a wonderful journey for all of us: me, hubby, and our three terrific children (ages 17, 15, and 12).

The joy is in the learning is in the living.

My upcoming plans involve a redesign of this site but while that's in the works I wanted to pass along some of the other stuff I've been up to:

First, I've brought my blog back to life to keep me inspired and on track writing about the ideas that I found most useful when learning about unschooling. Here's a link to the welcome post that explains it in more detail:

  Welcome back, blog!

Another project I dove into recently was to set up a way for people wanting to buy the conference talks from previous years to do so quickly and easily, meaning, not having to wait for me to burn and mail them a CD! To solve this I created the TUC Talks storefront in Lulu. Here anyone interested can buy individual talks, or sets of talks, for a nominal fee and download them right away, no waiting and no fuss. Here's a link to the storefront, and the how to page:

And last, but not least, the 2009 Toronto Unschooling Conference in October was a *wonderful* time! Gathering together unschooling families never fails to create such a unique and amazing atmosphere. And the speakers were incredible ~ the depths they reach in understanding and sharing their unschooling experiences always gives me goosebumps. I am in the process of nailing down a date for 2010 (the fifth year!) and will pass that info along as soon as it's available. Here's a link to the conference website, which contains the 2009 info so you can get an idea of what it's all about:
