One super fun blog radio show is Unplugged Mom Radio hosted by Laurette Lynn.

I, along with Linda Dobson and Jan Stover (two incredibly inspirational women!), was on the “Happy Unplugged Mom Mother’s Day Special” yesterday.

Happy Mother’s Day! For me, every day is Mother’s Day since I am absolutely thrilled to celebrate my children every single day!

One of my favorite resources for information about parenting and unschooling is Pam Laricchia on her Living Joyfully website, so imagine my extreme pleasure to see that Pam, herself, wrote a really fun review of the Wright on Time book series in her March 2013 Living Joyfully monthly newsletter!

Be sure to subscribe to her monthly newsletter! It’s always full of really great information about how to have better relationships with your children and how to live a more fulfilled life.

Wright on Time: Collection 1 as an AUDIOBOOK!

Lisa — Fri, 03 May 2013 18:11:43 +0000

Yes! I’ve put the first four Wright on Time books (set in Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, and South Dakota) into a single book so that the costs for printing, etc., would be lowered significantly. Wright on Time: Collection 1, Books 1-4 is just as lovely as the first four books individually, but combined with a singular glossary and a new cover.

What’s even more exciting, is that this collection of books is now available as an audiobook on Amazon, Audible (my personal favorite), and iTunes. I’m extremely thrilled by this since the primary way I read these days is with audiobooks. I just don’t have nearly as much time as I used to to sit and read a book. Now though, I read more books than I ever have because I’m reading while doing things like laundry, dishes, and grocery shopping.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

MomTV Interview: Stand up for your beliefs!

Lisa — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 17:10:25 +0000

As an author, I’ve really enjoyed the opportunities I’ve had to talk with fun and fascinating people. In particular, the variety of interviewers I’ve meet have been really enjoyable.

Yesterday, I had the chance to speak with Dori DeCarlo from MomTV, Word of Mom, and S1™ Safety First, LLC (an ingenious bag company for clear bags). Click on the MomTV link to find archived shows. Dori and I (along with a typed-in viewer) discussed a variety of things: homeschooling/unschooling, parental involvement in children’s lives and advocacy for them no matter how they are educated, and managing a home-based business while raising children.

As everyone here knows, I’m a homeschooling mother of two. We’ve considered ourselves Radical Unschoolers since my oldest, Zoe, became school age. Since she’s nearly fifteen, that means we’ve been living this lifestyle for a long time now! We’re at the point of really seeing the benefits to this lifestyle. In talking about this, the underlying theme of stand up for your beliefs, and especially your children, kept coming up.

In Dori’s bag company, she not only uses the highest quality of materials for the bags she produces, but she always made a point to provide bags for kids in wheelchairs–right from the start. Why? Because it’s important to her to do the right thing, stand up for her convictions, and not let the naysayers win. How inspiring!

I can really appreciate this attitude. It’s exactly what lead me to turn Do Life Right, Inc. into the first (and still only) publishing company that specializes in books for and about realistic homeschoolers of today. When I first wrote my Wright on Time series of children’s chapter books, I was told time and time again that there was no market for books about homeschoolers. Not only do I not believe that to be true, but I’ve based my entire company around it. The result is a well appreciated book series with a growing publishing company.

What convictions do you have? What are you willing to stand up for? Inspire me and send me your story!
