Yesterday I discovered that I had made the final 6 of the Best MAD Family Life Blog Awards category and also the final 5 of the Most Inspiring Blogger too.

Why I Live Where I Live
This isn’t where I would choose to live, this flat nowhere town caught between the Midlands and the Fens. East Anglia gets forgotten at the best of times, I’ve seen it entirely excised from lists of areas of the UK, but a town that slides off the rolling countryside of Northamptonshire and lands like a […]
The Things They Say
I love it when children come up with cute things and say them. Josie, for instance, last week said ??I think I must be allergic to not having chocolate, because I felt sick, so I ate some chocolate and now I??m fine!?? Result. On the other hand?? ??How old IS Kate Middleton??? ??About 9 years […]
Silent Sunday
(This post was recreated from a back up following a server crash. As such, it is missing comments and hits and would love to get some back!)
A Typical Home Education Day in Photos
There are many ways to home educate. There are families who never do a formal lesson or piece of work in their entire journey; there are people who use workbooks and text books, there are people who follow the National Curriculum and people who follow their child, resourcing it from whatever is available along the […]
Admitting Small Elements of Defeat to Stay Standing
It??s been a rough week. The kids are all unwell and have been, in varying combinations, since last Thursday. Fran came down with another sore throat and got progressively worse all weekend; despite having a friend on sleep over, she needed all the pain killers going to keep her upright, so on Monday I took […]
4 ways to read
We are firmly into our 4th reading journey in this house, as the last one, Josie, suddenly begins to make sense of letters and sounds and turn them into words she can use. It’s the end of an era – but the beginning of a new one too. And like her sisters, Josie is doing […]
Allotment Watch
You can’t say fairer than seeing your first little shoots of stuff coming up 🙂 While the garden is fairly bursting with veggie life, the allotment is (understandably) behind it but these onions were only put in over the Royal Wedding Weekend and shoots were really exciting to see. There was also a garlic shoot […]
A Typical Home Ed Day in Photos – request for carnival submissions
A long time ago, when blogging was just a bright young thing, some people from the Early Years Home Ed group started a tradition of blogging a ‘typical home ed day in photos’ every year in May. The idea was slightly a joke, as not many home ed families have a ‘typical’ day 🙂 but it took off and has been a lovely thing to read and look at over the years. The Early Years Blogring, that yellow box on the right, is a testament to the numbers of people who connect and share ideas and support through blogging their home educating life.
Blanket Watch
The sanity blanket is nearing completion. It was 8 squares left and then I decided it wanted it to be 7×7 so now it is back to being 9. I really want this done now; I want it finished by the end of May, so I am knitting MADLY. Argh. I think it is good […]
