So we’re back to homeschooling. We did this before in Spring 2020, and here we are again. This time I tried to just stick to them doing exactly the work school sent us home and trying to get all of the day’s work done on the day it was for. It didn’t work. I can’tContinue reading “Home learning 2021”

‘Never give up’ ‘Giving up is for losers’ ‘How are you ever going to get anywhere if you give up when it gets hard?’ Well, sometimes what might seem like ‘giving up’ to other people, is actually what’s right for you. Hanging onto something for fear of failure, or if you feel embarrassed to tellContinue reading “Is ‘giving up’ always bad? How to decide when your start up business is not going to work out for you.”
Review of 2020
My most popular blog post so far was my Bucket List for 2020. Which is ironic because of course, most of it I didn’t end up doing due to the craziness that was 2020. Nowhere on my list did it say stay indoors for the whole year, homeschool, have my baby’s first birthday without family,Continue reading “Review of 2020”
Self isolation day 3 and 4
I didn’t get round to posting an update yesterday, mostly because we had a lazy sunday. Stayed in our pjs, kids had screen time and we did some painting of the wooden shields. They’re coming along nicely, and I’ll add pictures when they’re done! Day four has so far gone like this: We all gotContinue reading “Self isolation day 3 and 4”
Day Two of Self-Isolation
The day started for me with middle kid jumping out at me as I left the bathroom and saying ‘Mum! Can we paint my shield now?’. Despite the fact that when me and big kid did it yesterday, and he didn’t want to, he now was desperate to paint his wooden shield that we gotContinue reading “Day Two of Self-Isolation”

I’m finding it hard to try to establish NaturalContinue reading “2020 Bucket List”

Back to School Emotions
Happiness There is happiness when you know your children are going back to school. Back to the routine. Back to not trashing the house from 6am to 8pm. Knowing that they enjoy school and they’re looking forward to seeing their friends every day. Stress There is stress too. Can we afford all the new uniformContinue reading “Back to School Emotions”
Summer Holidays Begins!
Here in the UK, my boys have broken up for their summer holidays. This past week has been a busy one as Mr Middle managed to bite a flap into his tongue last weekend. We went to local A&E, on Saturday, specialists on Sunday and again on Thursday. It’s been a rough week for theContinue reading “Summer Holidays Begins!”
