Living Life Outside the Box

We are a blended family of six kiwis, five born in Aotearoa (New Zealand), one born in Spain during early 2022. My name is Melissa, I'm the mama (and the author and speaker) of our family. Rimaha is my wonderful husband who lovingly took on my first two children as his own and raised them with me since they were quite small. We unschool/worldschool our kids, and do our best to show our kids they can have any life they choose.
