Bene, now you are six months old. Not today, because life has gone fast and I missed the exact date, though I noticed. It’s good to have been too busy, too happy, too relaxed to feel I had to write exactly on the day. You are six months. Half. Year. A while new life. A […]
Homemade Lemonade.
You know how sometimes you just HAVE to make something? Well.. last week something reminded Maddy of making lemonade and so she HAD to do it. Right now. Immediately. If NOT SOONER. As a result, we ended up with some lovely hot weather drinkyness and lemon iced biscuits (I know they look big chunks of […]
There may be trouble ahead…
Last week Amelie went off on a week long camp (more on this later!) It was quite strange to send her away; out of all of them, she is the loudest child in the house by a mile. She is also the dynamic changer and argument maker and all round household button pusher. We all […]
Garden Gym Jamming
Yesterday I indulged the gym fanatics of the house in a subscription to GymJamz, a site that lets you download music for gym routines. They’ve been dying to have a go at making up their own routines and I thought it would get them bouncing about and keep them busy. Here was the results of […]
I mind, actually.
I commented on a status the other day that at least reaching our thirties meant we embraced an age of being comfortable in our skin. That it was a good age to be. Despite everything that has happened, being in my thirties has been the age I have been happiest about myself. I’m fatter, plainer […]
How a home ed day in pictures should look….
There is a meme we old school home educators have done for years and years and year which is how a day looks for a home educating family. I say old school, clearly that’s ironic. I say how a day looks, clearly that’s a nonsense. It’s all part of the fun 😉 This is a […]
Childhood
This is the image that says childhood to me. The sun is shining, the children are wearing clothes which suit their style but which have seen their day. Those clothes are an invitation to play; everyone came home dusty and scruffy that day. The sun hats show they are loved and that someone has […]
Safety First.
Last week, two of the girls perpetrated a heinous crime in our home, breaking the keeping safe code that is firmly laid down amongst us here. I appreciate some children have vast and unlimited amounts of freedom to roam and be responsible for themselves. Some kids have ample opportunity to practice getting themselves around town, […]
An Update on ShareNiger
If you were following me a few weeks ago when I posted about sponsoring children in Niger with WorldVision then you might like an update on what we have achieved so far. After a slow start, almost 60 bloggers came together to sponsor an incredible 11 children in the Tera region of Niger. 11 girls […]
Glass Words at Glow
In the days following Freddie’s death, I was pointed to the Glow in the Woods writers and forum and a place where I would find comfort and solace and friendship among others who would understand what I was going through. I badly needed a place where the focus was not on angels or god or […]
