The Co-Operative Revolution
A few weeks ago, driving home from our Latin Etc group, Fran said “We have a little school in a way now, don’t we?” And we do, in a way. It isn’t a school, because we specifically avoid the conditions that would make it so, but for a 12 year old who has only ever […]
Poetry Study #1 – Ballad, by W. H. Auden
At Latinetc last week I made a start on doing some poetry study with the older kids. I managed to forget my book, so grabbed one from Katy’s shelf and luckily it had one of my absolute favourite poems in it, which my mum used to read me when I was very young. An odd […]
The Home Ed Round Up Bits
Trying to think what has been going on the last couple of weeks in the “in between other more meaningful posts” places. I always end up going to look on Facebook and Twitter to see what I’ve been doing. We finally managed to get most of the Lego builds in one place and one piece […]
Home Ed Growing Up & Heading for Further Education
I think it is inevitable that this was going to happen in this house but it is certainly not unique. Over the years I’ve watched remarkably young early teens develop a keen awareness of their ability to take control of their life from within their own family. Of course, my experience of purely schooled teens […]

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 […]
5 things I would like my children to know about me
Written for the Friday Club Carnival. Whist. There is a thing. What 5 things would I like my children to know about me? I can think of lots of things I would prefer them NOT to know about me, though I can see there will be a time when I’ll have to tell them those […]
Poking a toe at off grid – buying better
We want to shop better. We want to do our grocery buying better. As a family, we’ve been thinking about who we spend our money with and where and we’ve come to the conclusion that it is time, especially now that as a family we HAVE a little more time, to shop in a more […]
