Hey, little boy. I see you.
Art Day – Perspective
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 […]
Suit Yourself Day
Family life is such a tricky balance; family life when there is such a weight of grief in it, when six people have got so many things to process and recover from and have such varied needs is, well, tricky at times. Grief, combined with the complexities of an important relationship in our family coming […]
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 […]

I admit is, the current Lego phenomena here (over a month of solid play and counting) led me to suggest to Zoe that building a series of Artetc days around houses and street scenes would be interesting. I’ve got various non-art related ideas for this too and I do find that a tied together set […]
Being a better mummy
Now that, I hate saying this but I’m having to try and make it true, the worst of the raw grieving is beginning to pass, I’m trying to keep my promise to Freddie that I would be a better mummy to the girls in remembrance of him. I love them so much and losing a […]
Holidays
As is customary in the Puddle household, last week we took ourselves off to Centerparcs. It’s always a good way for us to have a low maintenance wind down holiday after the busy Xmas period and one of those holidays which, being a large-ish family, has not too much effort attached. In fact, it’s easy, […]
Make a Fireplace Christmas Craft
Or how to make sure Father Christmas can get into your house if you don’t have a chimney. In our slightly nomadic past, which ended abruptly almost 5 years ago when we bought this house, we always managed to rent houses with chimneys, making it nice and easy for the great man to access the […]
