Fly high, little boy. Second to the right and straight on till morning. I miss you with every bone in my body, every glance of my eye, every thought that passes. Be somewhere beautiful and don’t look back.
Money can't buy you love
I know they say that – and it’s true – but nothing beats a birthday where the people who love you go out of their way (and some way out of their pocket) to give you gifts that will bring masses of joy and pleasure. Look at that; 1000’s of hours of reading, knitting, lovely […]
While it is true one should not rely on a spell check…
3 different spellings of one word in so short a notice is just NOT GOOD.
Inspiration for Aspirations
A while back I read something about it being unkind to give a child unrealistic expectations. It was just a thought, one I was not privy to the background of, but I’ve thought and thought and pondered and pondered about it. I’ve wondered if it’s true? I’ve wondered if it is right? I’ve wondered how […]
Plans – do we carry on?
Over the last few days, Max and I have started to vocalise some of the feelings we currently have about being a home educating family from the perspective of where we find ourselves now. The conversations are hard, if I’m honest. I don’t think there is any doubt that right now, as a commitment, home […]
Separate
Dear Freddie, Today you should be nine months old. Today marks the day when you should have been a person in your own right for as long as you were part of me. Today you have been out for as long as you were in. Today is the day when, some say, pregnancy for a […]
The words won't come
I look back at what i wrote this time a year ago and it seems like a macabre joke. “And as for me and Max; Max says he has no regrets about leaving work and enjoys our life and his new job. I enjoy not doing it 🙂 We’re happily married again and both looking […]
Two events I forgot to blog
I think. I should write bigger and better about both of these but today is not a day I’m finding easy, so I can’t be bothered. But they both relate to good home education moments, so for the record, here they are. The first was a trip to the Cambridge Botanical Gardens with a group. […]
Christmas 2010
There’s nothing like losing your child to make you think about the real meaning of a winter festival of light and renewal. I’m not Christian, in fact, I’m not really sure if I’m anything, but not even a year that has played out like a Victorian morality tale of fallen women and divine retribution can […]
Land of Make Believe (where short is fine!)
We’re not a particularly tall household; I have (well, I did have, I broke it while I was pregnant!) a baby step in the kitchen to get to the top cupboards. Recently, I’ve resorted to sending Fran up on to the worktop to get to things from the highest shelves because when this house was […]
