In a few weeks time we are going to risk all the sanity left in our world and go on holiday. With a baby. For the first time in 7 years. Gulp. I’ve done a few holidays with babies, the last notable one being the HESFES filled with mud with 4 children under 7 on […]
There may be trouble ahead…
Last week Amelie went off on a week long camp (more on this later!) It was quite strange to send her away; out of all of them, she is the loudest child in the house by a mile. She is also the dynamic changer and argument maker and all round household button pusher. We all […]
Safety First.
Last week, two of the girls perpetrated a heinous crime in our home, breaking the keeping safe code that is firmly laid down amongst us here. I appreciate some children have vast and unlimited amounts of freedom to roam and be responsible for themselves. Some kids have ample opportunity to practice getting themselves around town, […]
An Update on ShareNiger
If you were following me a few weeks ago when I posted about sponsoring children in Niger with WorldVision then you might like an update on what we have achieved so far. After a slow start, almost 60 bloggers came together to sponsor an incredible 11 children in the Tera region of Niger. 11 girls […]
Roll up. roll up, read all about it.
There is nothing quite like a quick poke at parenting on a public forum or news site for getting the blood boiling. I wrote the other week about how Cherie Blair had rattled cages all over by saying that what children needed was to have their mothers out at work being proper role models instead […]
I always said thank goodness for the internet.
One of the absolute default questions whenever you say you home educate is “how do you make sure you know everything they need to know?” My stock answer has always been “We have the internet, what I don’t know I google”. And that is exactly right, that is what we do. Maddy has been observing […]
A head filled with heavy nothing.
Oh dear. No blogging. We’ve actually been having a good time, if you count charging around like loons a good time. I could write lots of posts filled with interesting stuff. I will do. But not here. If you read my other blog (and thank you to the people who do and commented, I really […]
Where'd the Bene go? Here he is :)
Gratuitous boy pics. You know you want them. He looks a bit bigger in that blanket these days. Did I mention we all completely love him? He rolled today, proper rolled with arm out from under and head up. Rolling and sitting in a week.
A day in the past.
Try to remain calm… We left the house, all of us, in one go. We went somewhere. We had a nice time. Miracles! Lots of our friends have started doing Tudor reenactment at Kentwell Hall. You might think we would be dead certs for this, I certainly have always wanted to do something of the […]
Coming up for air. Breastfeeding amendments.
A few days ago I admitted defeat over exclusive breast feeding. It hasn’t really worked for Bene and I all that well; he has gained weight brilliantly (he’s over 16lbs at just short of five months, which given he was 5 1/2 lbs at one point is quite impressive) and he sleeps all night which […]
