How my 12 year olds mind works (or doesn't!)

January 23, 2011 by

Me: Hey, Max. You remember we saw John Lloyd on two separate programmes last night after never knowing who he was and thought it was a co-incidence? Well, when I was listening to Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy this morning, his name was there as one of the writers. Max: That’s a bit of […]

Two new pages on PoP

January 22, 2011 by

I’ve written two new pages on PoP, though one isn’t showing up in the menu at the moment, for reasons which are beyond me. The first, the Home Ed Resources page is a round up of all the resources and websites we tend to use. I’ve got to finish editing it, but it is reasonably […]

Sorry, what? Home education? Yes.. here we go.

January 21, 2011 by

I’m having a “what have we got on this ship that’s good?” moment. After wobbling about HE so badly the other week, I decided it was time to at least get back to doing the things we do well and working on putting in more of what we’d ‘like’ as we go along. We’ve been […]

WAHM Bam… relearning being a business owner

January 20, 2011 by

Last week someone asked me about how I had turned a hobby into a business and I’ve been thinking about it a lot since, mainly because I was slightly depressed to realise I didn’t have anything sensible and inspiring to offer! I certainly didn’t get into business in any planned and intelligent way; I got […]

Rabbit Hole

January 18, 2011 by

My friend Leslie pointed me to this trailer for a film. I think it is the most perfect representation of grief for a child that I have ever seen. This is exactly how I feel. This is exactly my life. The expression on her face when people talk of angels, the shot of her doing […]

Graduation

January 18, 2011 by

I graduated from counselling today. It was my last session, my final chance to talk about all those thoughts and feelings that surround Freddie, his fleeting life and the drift of flotsam that has been left in his wake. The last time I can ponder and talk and rage and cry to someone without wondering […]

Just how pretty is this?

January 16, 2011 by

PoP, thanks to the very lovely JeniWren, has had along overdue make-over. I absolutely love it, though I’ve got to spend a little bit of time tidying up the sidebars and deciding what I want to keep and what I want to trim. Let me know what you think – I’m delighted with it. I […]

Created a Hottie Cover

January 15, 2011 by

Thanks to the knitting, I think I really have done something creative every day since I pledged to do so. Even if it has just been a thoughtful blog post, or a few lines of knitting, or a novel (!) or a model, I’ve created a lot and it has helped. I’m really proud of […]

Holidays

January 15, 2011 by

As is customary in the Puddle household, last week we took ourselves off to Centerparcs. It’s always a good way for us to have a low maintenance wind down holiday after the busy Xmas period and one of those holidays which, being a large-ish family, has not too much effort attached. In fact, it’s easy, […]

Ladybird Love from IKEA

January 15, 2011 by

It is of course a well known fact that all households should have a large, inflatable Ladybird – a fact I had previously overlooked and failed to comply with. Luckily for us, IKEA very kindly offered to fill the void and, on our return from holiday, a SAGOSTEN was waiting for us! As IKEA very […]
