No longer in production - back issues available - see below.
A quarterly collection of long-term home educator Beverley Paine's writing published online on blogs, support groups and her various websites.
The content reflects her keen interest in promoting home education and respects and honours the many different approaches families use to enrich their children's learning experiences.
Every week she read, reflected and responded to the hundreds of posts and emails she received and collated her responses as well as information about resources and approaches into this very readable 40 page magazine.
Her style of writing is friendly, supportive, honest and frank and above all else clearly demonstrates her passion for children and learning.

"Writing for and encouraging home educating families sustains me. It's a two way process : as a reader you offer me so much, for which I am very grateful and why I am committed to producing an affordable magazine."

Winter 2013
My thoughts over the last month have been focusing on home education regulation. I've rejoined the Home Education Association committee as an ordinary member. This issues puts together some thoughts from my two decades of experience, listening to other families, and interest with what is happening overseas. The winter issue is an eclectic mix of articles: in the space of five weeks our family experienced a marriage, a death and a birth. Deep breaths! Grief and joy, spending happy and sad moments with family and friends: Autumn has truly been an emotional season for us. As a result I’ve abandoned my usual format for this issue. You will still find the usual practical FAQ articles, Resource Roundup, Networks and Camps information, and regular columns.

Summer 2012
Play! This issue focuses on the very important role play has in our lives - and not just for the children. The educational and developmental benefits of play and playfulness are enormous. Once again the little people in my life inspire me to hunt for activities to keep them busy. And don't forget to check out the lovely weding photos of my eldest son Roger to Courtney his lovely lady. We're very excited and happy to announce the arrival of a new grandchild in 2013! For those transitioning to unschooling and natural learning there are thoughtful articles for you to ponder - is it necessary for children to have passions and interests to unschool? I don't think so...

Spring 2012
My spring issue focuses on socialisation as well as record keeping, two subjects that have been exceptionally topical over the last couple of months on my online support groups. As a natural learning unschooling parent I found recording built my confidence in a life/play/interest based approach to education and hopefully my articles on recording will help you feel confident too. In Spotlight on Curriculum I look at the value of incorporating singing into your homeschool curriculum, as well as articles on other subjects. A new column to the magazine inspired by my grandchildren is Learning with the Little People! Plus our usual resource roundup, links to interesting articles, and my random musings on all things education and parenting!

Winter 2012
This issue focuses on the changing nature of home education: virtual schools, unschooling, debunking some of those persistent myths about homeschooling. I delve into a favourite subject: collections! Financial concerns are never too far from our minds so I've included a focus on budgetting and finding home educating resources. Socialisation comes up frequently as topics for discussion in my online support groups, so there is a couple of articles on that, plus I share a few thoughts on natural learning, unschooling and trust. In Curriculum Corner, our spotlight is on learning to read. Guest columnist Tamara talks about e-readers. Plus our usual resource roundup, links to interesting articles, and my random musings on all things education and parenting!
