An Off Grid Life

Weekend reads

Good morning on Saturday!

And Happy 2025.

Quick note: Several readers have asked for more posts related to homeschooling, outdoor education and forest schooling.

I'm working on them, and also on bringing my Totally Free Tuesdays and Freebie Fridays back. These are monthly emails that include printables for kids.

If you'd like to receive a reminder for these, just click right here and you'll get added to my list. (You'll get sent to a homeschool resource page, but don't worry, I'll get your name and email. I'm still working on learning the tech behind this email system.)

And now, here are your weekend reads!

Grab a coffee and enjoy.
