The Halloween costumes the girls created were probably the best they had ever done – and one advantage for me was I’m now very much a credit card facilitator of the whole thin; I don’t have to make! Fran and Amelie both adapted an idea from Pinterest. Fran had 10 metres of black netting from […]

Today
Today was a remarkable day, one of those days where there is an 'everything before' and 'everything after'. As a refreshing change, it was a good thing. A great thing. We changed Max's life for the better. It was a bit scary, but we did it. Neither of us can take the grin off our […]
The eyes have it.
Sometimes an opportunity in the blogging world comes along that is too good to miss; I didn’t entirely expect it to be this though, nor did I expect that it would be Max who got the life changing moment! But when your husband is so shortsighted he only knows it is you asleep in bed […]
WedEd loveliness Halloween/Fairytale style.
WedEd played a blinder this week; this group home ed meeting has settled into something that seems to work really well now and I mostly feel like I pull my weight, which makes me feel better. Bene is (temporarily I suspect) not too high maintenance there, so I can do a couple of activities. Once […]
If only my computer were organised like my Pinterest account.
Way back in 2004 or 5, I sold a software Hama Bead Design programme that was, for a while, a very hot seller. It is the one I still use to make the simpler Hama Bead designs we put on the sites to give people ideas. Most of my friends had a copy and I […]
Journeys End.
On Friday I will be decommissioned, put out of action, consigned to the reproductive scrap heap, put out to grass. My tubes will be corked and my fertility stoppered and there will be no more babies for me. I'm 38, I have had 6 children, been pregnant more times than a body needs to be […]
A day in Sherwood Forest.
You might have noticed that we are sporting a shiny new badge over there on the right. We’ve been rather lucky and become part of the Centerparcs Family Blogger Club for the year, thanks to winning a competition with the Tots100. Thanks to this Pinterest board (did I mention I love Pinterest?) we are going […]
It's been a proper home ed week.
There has been lots going on here this week, even though I had a day out (more to come on that!) and we spent a day interviewing for new staff. As well as the geography day we did there has been lots of crafting of various sorts. Maddy, Josie and I have put together these […]
Not Finished it by Friday Winter Edition.
So far i have knitted a lot of baby blankets, a cardigan for a child who doesn’t wear it, a cardigan for a baby who outgrew it plus two that did get some wear and…. some hats. Which were too big or too small remarkably quickly. I thought it was time I knitted something for […]
A typical home ed day in photos
This is long overdue; I promised to open this meme ages ago – but life gets in the way. Every year home educators with blogs do a meme where the tell a ‘not very typical because what days are?) typical home education day in their house. Our days recently have been fairly humdrum but here […]
