To unschool, or to school-at-home? Jamie at Selkie has an interesting compromise: Be "scheduled" homeschoolers from from August to November and from January to April, and be "unschoolers" during Advent and Easter. Go, read.
I like to combine schooling and unschooling too, but I’ve done it on a subject basis, so to speak. So far (only one kid-year accomplished), we’ve "schooled" math, reading, and religion, and we "unschool" everything else. My plan for next year is to introduce some semi-schooled art and history as well. By semi-schooled I mean that I have some artwork and some historical biographies I’m specifically going to introduce at specific times throughout the year; but those are only springboards, and we’ll just see where they lead us.
