UHS Thursday: Korean Convenience Snacks

By Aadel Bussinger On May 16, 2013 · Add Comment · In Korea, Unschoolers Have Seoul
We’ve been busy uploading videos onto our Unschoolers Have Seoul YouTube channel! Since the videos are mainly the kids’ project, I thought I would make Thursdays over here “UHS” days {Unschoolers Have Seoul} and share a video along with an extended explanation from my point of view. I really just suggest ideas for videos to the girls and tape them, along with providing important commentary during filming. Tasting Korean Snacks from the Convenience Store The [...]

Ten ways to create toys from household items

By Aadel Bussinger On May 14, 2013 · 1 Comment · In homeschooling, unschooling
Our long time dream of having a large home with a basement playroom didn’t exactly come to fruition when we moved to Korea. Right now, we have to be content with a 1300 square foot apartment where you can hear a pin drop from across the house. We didn’t bring a lot of toys with us to Korea because I wanted things to be simple and I didn’t know where we were going to keep [...]

Culture Shock: Differences vs. Familiarity

On May 13, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
Remember when I said that it hadn’t hit me yet that we were in another country across the world? Well – it hit me. I officially miss Kansas, I feel strange here, and I’m struggling with a few things. That doesn’t make this move a bust, it just makes me human. I still have a smile on my face most days. There have been a few rough patches I have to admit. But it’s not [...]

Hello Kitty Update: Our Video

On May 9, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
Having a separate YouTube account for our video project has thrown me for a loop. I always forget to post the videos here for my readers to see! Our Hello Kitty Cafe trip was a while ago, and since then we have made several other videos and even had a giveaway of a basket filled with Korean goodies. Don’t worry though, we are in the process of making another giveaway basket and will be posting [...]

Ten Ways Homeschooling Has Affected My Faith

Ten Ways That Homeschooling Has Affected My Faith

On May 6, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
When we began over 8 years ago, our faith in God wasn’t the primary reason we decided to homeschool. It played a factor, obviously, but it didn’t occur to us that homeschooling would have a huge effect on our relationship with Christ. Now that I look back on our journey, I can see that homeschooling did in fact play a part in my journey of faith. And not only was I affected , but our [...]

I’m sorry you are the new kid

On April 29, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
I just want to let you know, kids, that I didn’t grow up the same way you are. I lived in the same town until I was 17. I went to school with the same group of kids. Sure, my family had issues and events happened that hurt and scarred me. But I always had access to my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins. I didn’t have to change schools or move around the world. You know [...]

10 Ways My Kids Learn Through Movement

On April 26, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
Don’t you wish you had your kids’ energy sometimes? Why do they always seem to be moving? Fidgeting, dancing, running, wrestling. Through my experiences with trying to homeschool Raven and realizing that she was a kinesthetic learner, I have changed the way I used to view learning. The truth is, most of what adults consider to be distractions to learning (fidgeting, doodling, chatting) are actually ways in which kids incorporate their entire bodies in the [...]

enJoy Movies Your Way Review

On April 22, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
Normally our family doesn’t use filter programs that are designed to make movies and tv more family friendly. We have found, through experience and research, that most filter out things that we want to see and discuss with our kids, and at the same time they fail to filter some scenes that are too intense. I recieved this product for free and was compensated for the time it took to review. All of the opinions [...]

April Craftiness {Snippets From Unschooling}

On April 5, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
So – you may have noticed that my blog was down for the count this past week. It’s a long story, and I’m not at liberty to indulge it all. My sister and brother-in-law are gracious enough to host this blog on their server (and keep up with maintenance and my quirky demands). There was an issue with traffic, and our sites got bumped off – shut down. We are now back up and running on a [...]

Healthy Cooking And Eating In Korea

On April 5, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
The dust has settled and the initial glamour of our move is starting to wear off. Reality arrived when Jay was out in the field for 20 days and I had to figure out what I was going to cook every day. One of the big adjustments we have had to make coming here to Korea is how we buy and eat food. We can get most of the foods we are familiar with at [...]

Crochet Baby Set – Cherry Crush

On March 22, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
The same day that we went to the Hello Kitty cafe, I bought some awesome worsted weight yarn at Banul. We were invited to a baby shower for one of the family’s in Jay’s unit, and my tradition is to always make a handmade gift for such occasions. I’m so glad that my crochet hooks were on my list of must haves on our first shipment of goods! I decided to make a baby set [...]

The words "modest" and "lust" mean different things in each culture.

Who is to blame? Our immodest rape culture.

On March 21, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
Rape has been all over the news and social media this week. And rightly so – because it’s an issue that is often thrown under the proverbial bus in both popular and Christian culture. You have probably heard and read all the arguments already. You’ve seen the posts going around Facebook about how rapists are the ones at fault for their acts. Of course they are. But then I see comments that also emphasize how [...]

Visiting the Hello Kitty Cafe in Sinchon, Seoul!

On March 19, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
Can you guess where we went this week?! If anyone was exited to move to Korea, it was Denna. She did a lot of research before we left on what fun things there were to do and explore. We made a bucket list of all her favorite choices. Number 1 on the list? Visit a Hello Kitty Cafe. There are several Hello Kitty locations in Seoul, but we just happened to be going to Edae [...]

A Review Of Intrepid {Parts 1 & 2} And Wild Eyes

On March 14, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
I don’t particularly like the ocean – or sailing. I grew up in the Midwest about as far from a wave as you could possibly get. The closest I ever came to sailing was paddling a canoe across a serene lake at 4-H camp. I am a person, however, who has an adventurous spirit. And that is why I feel like Zac & Abby Sunderland are kindred souls because they both set out to sail [...]

I Can’t Homeschool Because I’m Unorganized

On March 12, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
If you have ever contemplated homeschooling your kids, or you’ve talked to parents who have thought about it, you’ve probably heard or thought this a few times: I can’t homeschool because (insert reason) The reasons are sometimes outrageous, but often they are semi-valid. Over the years, I’ve heard people give lots of reasons why they can’t homeschool. I’m not here to convince you that everyone should educate their children at home. There are no homeschool-snobbish [...]

Savoring the flavors in South Korea

On March 11, 2013 By Aadel Bussinger
One of my friends on the Christian Unschooling group I frequent made the comment that we seemed to be eating well since we got to South Korea. Boy was that the understatement of the year! Every time I walk anywhere – there is tantalizing smells wafting from local mom & pop’s, foreign restaurants, street vendors, and bakeries. I had this sort-of secret goal of slimming up a little when we left the states – since we [...]

    We roam this earth as aliens- Christian, unschooling, and military.

    And so, like Abraham, we live and learn in these temporary tents- waiting for that day to come when we can have a heavenly dwelling that is indestructible and perfect.
