These days, when I look in my girls eyes, I can see many things. I can see that they’ve been sad, terribly, terribly sad and that it will be with them forever. But I also see girls who know how to be happy; every day I see them take a deep breath, shake themselves and […]
Finding some local shops
Yesterday Max and I took one of our brief times out, time we set aside for checking up on each other and on us. As we had a morning, instead of a more normal lunch time, so we didn’t go to Fotheringhay this time; the fields were also full of fog as we set out, […]
4 good things
1. This morning my guest post on Tots100 appeared – thanks for that opportunity Sally 🙂 Never done a guest post before, enjoyed it. 2. Fran and Amelie did their music festival. Amelie got commended and Fran a merit. Fran played really well (they both did) so was a bit sad not to do better. […]
The God of Things with Plugs
…clearly did not like me choosing a simple hand tool as my favourite gadget. Yesterday I had my phone stolen, at least that is the best explanation I can come up with, since I entered the shop with it and didn’t have it when I got home and no one in the shop has it, […]
The End of All Things
The one that starts with things endings and ends with things beginning and covers up an awful lot of wondering “how could you?” It has been a horrible week; I’ve cried harder this week than I have all year, mostly bout things I can’t write and partly because anything stressful turns into more tears about […]
Ups and downs
After a week of all the girls being poorly, Max and I came down with milder versions of it this weekend. We pootled about though and did things – the girls indulged in a lot of rabbit play and pet worship, which was great to see. I made these and Josie sat with me, also […]
My Best of the Net
I’m staring at my toolbar and thinking I am so amazingly reliant on the internet these days. I’m not really thinking of the big 6 (well, what I think of as the big six anyway) of Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Google, Twitter and WordPress but all the other things that I and we, rely on in […]
Can home ed kids have a sickie? (Lego is better!)
And the fabulous (depending on your point of view!) answer is… no, not really. See, another plus point to home education- you can work even when you are sick… no reason to miss school days, ever. We even learn on holiday, we even do projects on holiday… we… we… we… yes, they read in the […]
Nature Walk – March
On my list of things to do is getting out more and visiting the same places as the seasons change. I plan every month – I missed Jan/Feb but I’m not going to beat myself up about that. On Tuesday we went to Burghley House for a walk and looked at Spring springing. It’s a […]
Hope whispered.
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win this beautiful bookmark from SkyBlueSea thanks to a give away on Sleep is for the Weak. I got to customise it, choosing a star for Freddie and and M for myself and Suzanne found this wonderful quote for me, which just epitomises how life needs […]
