I look back at what i wrote this time a year ago and it seems like a macabre joke. “And as for me and Max; Max says he has no regrets about leaving work and enjoys our life and his new job. I enjoy not doing it 🙂 We’re happily married again and both looking […]

Two events I forgot to blog
I think. I should write bigger and better about both of these but today is not a day I’m finding easy, so I can’t be bothered. But they both relate to good home education moments, so for the record, here they are. The first was a trip to the Cambridge Botanical Gardens with a group. […]
Christmas 2010
There’s nothing like losing your child to make you think about the real meaning of a winter festival of light and renewal. I’m not Christian, in fact, I’m not really sure if I’m anything, but not even a year that has played out like a Victorian morality tale of fallen women and divine retribution can […]
Land of Make Believe (where short is fine!)
We’re not a particularly tall household; I have (well, I did have, I broke it while I was pregnant!) a baby step in the kitchen to get to the top cupboards. Recently, I’ve resorted to sending Fran up on to the worktop to get to things from the highest shelves because when this house was […]
Christmas Pom Pom Wreaths & Pincraft Crafts
And then I’m done. Painted wooden trays using acrylic paint. The idea was for them to paint a design but we ran out of time s I’ve temporarily added wooden shapes – we can finish them another time. This pompom wreath is a work in progress but I really like the idea. It was going […]
Sock Snowmen Christmas Craft
I’m not sure where to credit this idea to, although I got it from my friends Katy and Sarah. It’s great. (When i find a link, I’ll add it 🙂 ) Fill a sports sock to nearly the heel with rice and tie a knot. Then tie a white string (or a scarf) around the […]
Orange Pomanders Christmas Craft
Lovely again. I’ve chucked the rest of the cranberries in there now as well and it smells divine. Here are my two favourite glass bead snowflakes. Enjoyed making these very much.
Christmas Craft Light Tree & Glass Art
I love our light tree; I bought it last year and it amuses me to hang silly things on something otherwise intended to be ‘terribly tasteful’. I had though, this year, added two ornaments, two lovely birds I bought months ago, in memory of Freddie and that other missing child. Hard to believe only 2/3s […]
Very Easy Kids Sweet Making Craft #12
A surprisingly good way of keeping 4 children busy for a short amount of time. Lots of dark chocolate. Sprinkles. Glace Cheries. Mini Marshmallows. Rockie Road Chocolate. Ta-da! (We then added sprinkles). They are better done in blobs as done in one piece you can see marshmallows when you break it – but hey 🙂 […]
Popcorn & Cranberry Christmas Craft
The morning is best drawn a veil over for now but while I stomped off in a huff, the girls made gingerbread. We ate it all, so perhaps we’ll add a photo of more tomorrow and Fran has promised to send me the link. We can go for an edit then 🙂 (And here it […]
