Button a photo by Merrily Me on Flickr. At lunch time today Fran came in to say that Button, our 8 year old rabbit, was shaking and not looking right. She had been hopping about just fine yesterday, though I thought she looked a bit lethargic and slow but she was still happy to chase […]
Basket with Flowers
Basket with Flowers a photo by Merrily Me on Flickr. Testing out blogging directly from Flickr. If this works, 10 seconds with the lovely Jeni will have taught me something which defeated me for 5 years!
Empty & aching and I don't know why…
Dear Freddie, Today you should be 11 months old. Your birthday is creeping up and it is preying on all our minds, even in the places I normally expect it the least. I know we all wish we were planning the first ever boy birthday in the house instead of trying to work out how […]
Believe what you will
Writing Prompt: 2. How have your belief systems changed through your lifetime? How do they compare to when you were a child? What new beliefs have you discovered? What old ones have you let go of, and why? For the Sleep is for the Weak Writing Workshop. I’m 7 and reciting Old Testament, New Testament […]
Books for Kids (2)
One of the best things about the ‘random post’ widget at the bottom of each blog post is that I’m getting to revisit old blog posts that I never read any more. I’ve forgotten so many of them; there was a time, when the blog was only a few years old, when I still pretty […]

It’s a stand point from which a child has no come back and can’t offer any sort of an opinion. Without […]

On Monday we had artetc and a dancing lesson. On Tuesday I went to work and busied myself there and got on with sorting out baby toys into pretty sections. While I was there, I heard that one of our suppliers sons is desperately ill and that was enough to twang a painful heartstring or […]
Last weeks Latinetc & this weeks Historyetc
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 […]
Telly Food Tech (aka Healthy Eating)
Introducing the first ever guest post by Max 🙂 This was my first crack at pro-active HE for a while now and it was generally a pretty successful day; everyone stayed involved through the day, enjoyed what they did and learnt something, so I guess you could say we met all our learning objectives for […]
Two new pages on PoP
I’ve written two new pages on PoP, though one isn’t showing up in the menu at the moment, for reasons which are beyond me. The first, the Home Ed Resources page is a round up of all the resources and websites we tend to use. I’ve got to finish editing it, but it is reasonably […]
