April Starts

April 1, 2012 by

This year we will live April. And love April. And remember Freddie, every breath of his last good moments and his coming and his being and his going. April is for remembering. April is for being family and saying his name and being glad we had him.

Takes All Sorts.

March 30, 2012 by

Back in the olden days, when I first set about home education, I was full of ideas and excitement about how it would go. I thought I would give my children a classic education which allowed them to know about and understand and have time to explore so many of the things that I wanted […]

Letter to Ben : 2 months old

March 27, 2012 by

Dear Ben, Now you are finally asleep, having kept me carefully away from all the things I should probably have tried to do this evening, I can write you your first letter. I will make sure you never know how much I relish you taking up all of my time. I will keep from you […]

Recent achievements.

March 27, 2012 by

It has been a busy couple of weeks at The Puddle and has even involved, not infrequently, all leaving the house simultaneously 😉 Last week, Fran, Maddy and Amelie all took part in the local music festival. This year Fran brought home the cello trophy and Maddy the guitar trophy ( by default, but she […]

Move along. Nothing to see here. Well okay. Apart from a very cute baby being a flickr tester for me.

Think happy thoughts.

March 26, 2012 by

Very important to remember that even with very bad days indeed, things are still better than they were. No Freddie but Ben is much better than no Freddie and no Ben. ‘Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten. We’re broken, but still good.’ Oh, the wisdom of Disney 😉

Bubble

March 26, 2012 by

Today was hard. Really, really hard. The hardest day for such a long time. I suppose I did have bad days over Freddie while I was pregnant with Ben, but I don’t remember them as topping the immense and submersing anxiety I carried around while I was pregnant. I don’t really remember grieving while I […]

Here we are.

March 25, 2012 by

I thought today that it is now nearly 2 years since Freddie was born and lived and died and in a week or so, creeping up, will come his birthday. I don’t know how we got here. I don’t know how we made it. I’ve had 2 babies in 2 years and it took forever […]

March 23, 2012 by

Really and truly I’m mid making some little cardigans for Ben, Nina and Kit but now that Ben is properly into cloth nappies I needed something for putting his terry bum wipes into. I’ve got an awful lot of felting yarn, so I thought I really should have another go at making a pot. So […]
