On yer bike.

May 3, 2013 by

Max and I don’t do a brilliant job of switching off from work; our weekends usually involve something, either sat at a computer in snatched moments between dancing runs or stock uploads or sorting out something or other while passing the unit. I work partly every day if I’m home in the week and even […]

Sponsored Post: A picture is worth…

May 2, 2013 by

In less than a month, this blog will be 10 years old. Sometimes I look back at the very first posts, though I like doing it on the wayback machine most to get the full flavour of how it used to look. Somehow, to me, those early posts are not the same surrounded by the […]

Baby Bene at 15 months (almost).

April 11, 2013 by

I’m terribly behind with Bene updates, which is annoying because he has been changing so much. At not quite fifteen months, he’s been walking for around 1 month now. Starting walking was pretty funny; he took a few steps for a day or so, then scared himself silly and wouldn’t walk on the floor any […]

But it was good.

April 3, 2013 by

It was a lovely day, despite the tears and the grief. After all the snow and rain and grey, the sun came out. You might even have believed a little boy blue sent us the clear sky and the biting brilliance of a cold spring day. Bene, wearing the shoes all his sisters have first […]

Halloween 2012

November 2, 2012 by

The Halloween costumes the girls created were probably the best they had ever done – and one advantage for me was I’m now very much a credit card facilitator of the whole thin; I don’t have to make! Fran and Amelie both adapted an idea from Pinterest. Fran had 10 metres of black netting from […]

Normal service will resume…

October 11, 2012 by

Shortly. Possibly. Life has got rather complicated. Not only do we have children doing what is fast becoming an almost impossible combination of activities but business is heading into its busy time and 2 of our staff are moving. Gulp. Luckily we will manage, but the well oiled machine will be, erm, using different oil. […]

Re-vaulting change.

September 25, 2012 by

If you are a long term reader, you’ll know that by and large, with a few additional activities thrown into the mix, dance and gym are the absolute loves of my children’s lives. Dance, singing things, playing things, performing but gym plays a huge part in their happiness for three of them. The other girl […]

Make the best of it.

September 9, 2012 by

The girls were away this weekend. In the olden days, we relished a weekend off but these days we miss them when they aren't here. They're such good company. Plus of course, it meant Max and I were a two man tag team keeping the amazing non-napping boy occupied 🙂 We took him to visit […]

Homemade Lemonade.

July 27, 2012 by

You know how sometimes you just HAVE to make something? Well.. last week something reminded Maddy of making lemonade and so she HAD to do it. Right now. Immediately. If NOT SOONER. As a result, we ended up with some lovely hot weather drinkyness and lemon iced biscuits (I know they look big chunks of […]

How a home ed day in pictures should look….

July 24, 2012 by

There is a meme we old school home educators have done for years and years and year which is how a day looks for a home educating family. I say old school, clearly that’s ironic. I say how a day looks, clearly that’s a nonsense. It’s all part of the fun 😉 This is a […]
