Today we were focusing on perspective which… um… helped us all keep perspective. Just about 😆 As days go, it was one of the ones which we all found a bit tough, due to tiredness, but as it happened, some really good artwork appeared, which goes to show it is worth persevering 🙂 We started […]
Two Art Days, a Latin Day & a Dog
Help! I’m all behind on home ed blogging again. We’ve been busy and active and out and about but with one thing and another, I’ve not caught up. By the end of this week there will have been more busy-ness, so I better try and whisk through. We’ve done two full art days to catch […]

When I was a teenager, a fairly constant refrain from my mother was “one day, you’ll be having this conversation/argument/rant with your children and you’ll suddenly realise I was right!” It was.. very… irritating.

Chinese New Year Activities
In the midst of a busy week (and next week is the same) the girls and I thought we would revisit China and spend some time exploring Chinese New Year. We’ve not ‘done’ it for ages, certainly not so that Amelie or Josie would remember, so doing some finding out and crafting seemed a good […]
