Over recent time I've been contemplating the issue of finances in my
family and our need as a larger family to have more financial support.
In line with this thinking I've been interested in the idea of a gifting
economy. Damien first came across it as a way of living, and found
this
post particularly inspiring.
I
started to think about our kids busking - for the last 8 years this has
become part of our routine as a family. Our children gift their music,
and they are given some money usually but also a variety of other things
in exchange for their performing. I loved the idea that at any time,
if they choose that they could make some money. Of course the thing
with working in this manner is that they also may not make money :D
However as far as everything averages out this has been a wonderful
experience for our children, and has taught them a variety of lessons
about money, performing and people.
So now I've come to
the point where I've been contemplating how I can create a living out
of our home education. On the whole this is something I'm passionate
about and love. We are into our 11th year of home ed, and are likely to
have at least another 11years to go. So I invite you, if you enjoy my
thoughts, and ideas, and activities, to offer a gift exchange if you
feel that you have received something from my blog.
