new to list/unschooling

Hello,
I am new to the list and sort of new to unschooling. I have 4 children ans have been homeschooling for nine years. I have never consciously chosen to unschooling before but did fall into with the birth of my babies, illnesses, etc. We ha e sort of been unschooling for six months this time since my baby was born. I have only recently considered unschooling as a full-time way of schooling my children. I was wondering if anyone could give me ideas or suggestions for beginning a full-time unschooling lifestyle? My children are 11,7, 4 and 6 mos.
