This is an exercise in trying not to be a stuck record! With thanks to SAHMLovingIt for tagging me. Which living person do you most admire, and why? You know, honestly? My husband, Max. For many things, not least his extra-ordinary abilities with Excel, producing beautiful children, leaving work to run the business which was […]
Collections
In the book I’m reading, The Hare with the Amber Eyes, there is a description of the collection of Netsuke it is all about falling into the hands of a family where the little ornaments are played with by children each night. They are taken from their mirror backed, glass vitrine (cupboard) and handed about, […]
Sail away
I’m a little short on the mental energy to blog, but I committed to a post a day, so here it is. Yesterday Josie and I made paper boats. She wax designed one side in thick coverings of colour and then we learned to fold them. We used some Stockmar crayons that we were given […]
Happy Face and Button Pictures
Oh i could twist and turn in the mud of a good old wallow tonight. But I’ll spare you the agony; I think it would probably be gratuitous and maybe I’ll need to do it more another night. So instead, let me tell you how I spent the day with the two girls who were […]
French/Science/Latin/Poetry/English Day
We might need to come up with a catchier title for this. This is now a very long time ago in my head, so I’ll keep it properly brief. We reformed for an ad hoc day of trying out some new things and a different way of getting the kids together to enjoy some education […]
Posting about Poo.
I’m doing this one because I need a laugh 😆 and because, dammit, if after 5 children you can’t have anecdotes and stories about poo, what the hell do you have? So girls, this one is for you lot on your wedding days – if me and daddy are not there for some reason, promise […]
Live in the now
Impossible not to live in the now. April is always a month of the past, has always been the month where I looked back and was surprised the life goes on, the world keeps spinning, the days pass. The month of shoots and sprouting and Spring, when things appear and the earth smells fresh. How […]
Mother's Day
I’m a very lucky mother to have children and a husband who understand how hard today felt, the first ever Mother’s Day without Freddie. I had one present early, on Thursday. Today I was woken with cards and breakfast and tea this morning which was beautifully perfect. Josie made me a really wonderful card, the […]
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. […]
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 […]
