I don't know about everyone else here but we usually do Christmas in a big way. Then for the rest of the year I secretly chuck out toys that are broken or...
This year for our twins second birthday, we did a "recycled birthday party" in which people gave second hand toys, clothes or books. It was also an...
Hi y'all, We have been doing minimalist holidays and birthdays since Zach was born 4 years ago since we've been on the boat since before birth. Here are some...
Thanks for the replies and especially to Cindy for taking the time to write that post. You gave me some really good ideas and now I can look forward to my...
Okay, the time has finally come... I am forming a wide flung "troop" of cruising kids into a Boat Scout Troop for the winter. This Cruiser Troop is an all age,...
Does anyone know of a "Kid Net" time or frequency? I am thinking something like the Sonrisa or Amigo net except just for kids. If not, I'll probably try to set...
Does anyone know where I can get the book "Kids Afloat" by Theresa Fort? Our local West Marine and Fawcetts doesn't carry it anymore and neither does amazon......
Heya! Having gotten stopped and harangued by the Harbor Patrol twice and gotten a "strong suggestion" from the Coasties once... I need to get a PFD for Aurora,...
Laureen, I won't get into a debate over PFD for infants, lets just say I mostly on your side( only worst case I can think of is if somehow all adults and kids...
We also netted our catamaran when the kids were 4 and 7 (they're now 7 and 10 and we'll keep it on as long as we can). It added a comfort factor (especially...
I put a photo in the photo file under the album "Majestic" of our son when he was I think about 3.5 months old in his PFD. Yup, it's a pain, especially when...
Hey, Cindy, I confess our 7 and 10 year olds do have Nintendo DS to use on the boat. After 27 hours straight through to Nassau from Key Biscayne in 4-5 foot...
Hi Diane, Our first round of cruising (200-2002) was east coast to bahamas and a few months in Cuba and back. Now we're hoping to leave again in 2010 to head...
So sorry to hear about your dog. From what I've seen in the Bahamas some people couldn't even leave their dog alone on the boat and others had a hard time...
Oh, I think I mislead you! That photo of him is 4 years old :)Â I was just trying to show Laureen an example of how a pfd can fit an infant. He's 4 now and...
Hi, My family and I (wife and two young girls - 6 mos. and 3 yrs) have been lurking on this site for quite awhile. A recent trip to Marathon, FL reminded us...
I think that the weather would be best where you mentioned, but boat insurance will be huge. The Chesapeake is the southern most location you can find...
We keep our boat in Vero Beach thru the city marina on a mooring ball. We rode out 3 hurricanes in the last 5 years (winds up to 130) and the boat was...
Thanks to those who responded to my inquiry. Our timing for moving aboard is a bit uncertain, but now we have other factors and places to consider. cheers, ...
Hey Sand Dollar, This Second Wind from Atlanta. We lived there at Vero Beach for about a year in 2007. Give us a yell so I can catch you up on what we have...

Hey folks! It's been super quiet here lately, so just to spark some discussion, I thought I'd let you all know about a post I wrote for a group blog I'm part...
Loved your post and I always laugh when asked about "socialization". After sailing extensively in the Bahamas for three seasons now my kids have literally...
Amen to that Laureen! I can relate so much to dealing with people who are judgemental. It is exhausting trying to justify what we are doing and how we are...
Laureen, Diane, Catherine and all the boatschooling mamas, Thank you for the lift! Of all the various challenges that living aboard with children will bring, I...

Thanks for posting the link Laureen. It's funny because we too are unschooling liveaboards planning to cruise soon -- and we have also found that the childless...
Laureen, You know you're usually speaking to my/our heart(s). Unschoolers rule, although it has none (VBG!), and meddlers drool! MYOB should be part of the...
