Welcome to the Sunday Surf, a tour of the best blogposts I've read throughout the week.

Who needs a double stroller when you have a big brother who'll share a lap? (And a little brother who'll share his stroller!)

Mind the Gaps | Demand Euphoria →
The whole post is a great analogy about a train ride (schooling) vs. a car ride (homeschooling) vs. family and individual bike trips (unschooling).
So the next time someone asks you if you are afraid your child will have knowledge gaps because of unschooling, you can say something like, “I’m sure they will! And what thrilling opportunities those gaps will provide for my child!”
The next time you are feeling doubts about unschooling, when you question whether or not your child is learning everything he or she needs to know, you can think of bicycles. You can think of all the interesting gaps your child has crossed so far on a bicycle. And you can get excited about the possibilities of where and when your child will find the next gap, and how you can support him or her in crossing it.

So impressed with this woman and her husband for standing up for her rights to breastfeed in public without covering up or moving to another room!

The collaboration of creation: On letting readers shape your writing

It made me think of this blog, how I started off writing into the void of my own thoughts, as if I were writing a diary that would be burned upon my death. But then people started commenting, and I realized that my thoughts were no longer my own, that readers would take them and re-form them and add their own memories and perspectives to them in the digestion.

And so it should be. 

I like to think of creation as a group effort, even something as theoretically solo as writing.

Jive vs. jibe

I don't know why, but this is one of those word distinctions I relish knowing and wish more people did. Maybe it's that both words are so fun to say.
