What's in a Name?

Picking the name for a blog proved to be quite stressful for me. How can you sum up what your entire blog will be about or even maybe who *you* are in just a few choice words? Well, I couldn’t do it. The name of this blog is just a nifty name that I finally settled upon, and it may turn out that it has nothing to do with who I am or what this blog is about.
My favourite word lately has been autodidact (my previous favourite word was eclectic, meaning selecting what seems best of various styles or ideas). The definition of autodidact is a self-taught person. I believe I first encountered this word on my favorite blog: Mental Multivitamin. Although autodidact may describe me, and eclectic may describe my homeschooling stlye, and even though those two things are a big part of my life, it does not sum up my whole being.
...and this blog, I want it to be about whatever comes to mind that I feel like sharing. I may want to share some thoughts about being frugal, a day in the life of my homeschooling family, a review of a book I think is super (whether for the kids or me), some learning tips, some crazy thing that happened, and maybe an ah-ha moment or two.
Welcome to Adventures of an Autodidact!
