Here I am, back to record keeping. Of all the myriad of reasons for doing that, along with ‘people come a read this blog and then tell me they started to home educate because it seemed do-able from what I write’ (a fact that is occasionally worrying to say the least!) I think my best […]
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, […]
Two events I forgot to blog
I think. I should write bigger and better about both of these but today is not a day I’m finding easy, so I can’t be bothered. But they both relate to good home education moments, so for the record, here they are. The first was a trip to the Cambridge Botanical Gardens with a group. […]
Still here, more or less
Last week we were away in Devon for a annual holiday with friends in a Youth Hostel. I’d like to say I had a great time, but I didn’t, it was just too hard, but the GIRLS had a LOVELY time and really, that’s nearly all that matters. It’s incredibly comforting to be in the […]
Be happy at Burghley – mission not entirely impossible?
I’m supposed to be finding things every day that I’m happy or pleased about at the end of it. This isn’t easy, mainly because I don’t seem to have the energy to create much movement at all and partly because being happy, being pleased and living has a measure of guilt attached, which is hard […]
Books and Doctors and Dentists, Oh My!!!
Last week. Hmmmm. Amelie has been doing symmetry in her book as well as in Mathletics. Actually so has Maddy, along with 2D and 2D shapes and today, that annoying equation which has something to do with a triangle and a hippopotamus. And we’d have got there too, had I not failed to add up […]
Educayshun
Damn. I’m all behind again. We’ve had a good few weeks anyway; the homework diaries work really well still. Everyone likes it, everyone is busy and occupied (well, except Amelie who is converting education avoidance into an art form 🙄 ) I regularly depress myself with the fact that the girls do not get the […]
Running on Empty.
Yesterday the counsellor I’m seeing tore all of my “lalalalalalala… it’s not happening” defences into pieces. Consequently, all I really want to blog is “my baby boy is dead, my baby boy is dead.” I’m in pieces. However, that isn’t going to help, I think, so I’m going to blog something else instead. I’ve fallen […]
The best things in life are free….
Family fun has been a bit short on the ground this summer, what with one thing or another. I had to root around in my head to think of something that we’ve all done together, all laughed, all been happy and all got what we needed from it. And the answer came, as it so […]
Right back where I started
Max and I had a weekend away. Well, before that, I had a trip to the hospital – again. I got an opportunity to talk over things with a fresh pair of eyes, from long before Freddie to the here and now. What might have gone wrong, what might be wrong now. Could we have […]
