Homeschooling week 8, the week we lost our way a little. Very little school work was done in week 8. Following the Prime Ministers speech on Sunday 10th I felt really low waking up on the Monday morning. I am missing my family so much. Generally I am quite positive and can put a smile…
Our homeschooling week 7 was mostly about celebrating VE Day. It is funny because we have never celebrated it before and I am not sure if it is because we are on lockdown and need something to celebrate or because it is the 75 year anniversary. Either way we have had lots of fun. We spent…
Homeschooling week 6. Another week of teaching, entertaining and making the most of our time together. The weather forecast was not as good as it has been, with a little bit of rain due which worried me. However it wasn’t too bad.

Homeschooling week 5, I actually had to check what week it was as I have completely lost count. As the weeks go on it is definitely harder to find different ways to make learning exciting and different. Homeschooling week 5 was a little easier because we had the hot sunshine. The weather has been…

Red Pepper and Tomato Homemade Soup I love soup. Is not just a winter time option for me. I eat soup all year around. It is so healthy and full of goodness and I know my fussy children are getting some vegetables down them. Homemade Red pepper and tomato soup has to be my favourite. The…
Another week of homeschooling, with many more to come. It is a little bit of a daunting prospect. This is what I was thinking when I woke last Monday and subsequently it was a tough day. So that was an early lesson learned. Take each day as it comes and go from there. The rest…
I have always been a huge advocate of learning through play. Play is such a huge part of a child’s development. As a Mummy of three I can see the difference. If I ask my child to sit at a desk and learn they are less productive than when we play a learning game. Through…
Home schooling is not a phrase I thought that I would be using any time soon. Yet, here we are. It is all so surreal and I can’t quite believe it. With the Corona Virus bring the whole world to a halt and all five of us being stuck at home for a while, it…
