Despite being in the middle of July there is already an Autumn feel around. There is a chill in the air (especially up North) and of course the usual Summer showers. I am not embarrassed to say I am already looking forward to my favourite season. There does seem to be season shift. The Summer…
Lockdown with three children has not been easy. When the school closures were announced I knew it was going to hard keeping all three of them entertained at home. I needed to find creative toys that firstly wont be break the bank and will keep them entertained for longer than five minutes. I have been…
Homeschooling week 12 – maybe? I haven’t wrote a homeschooling post in a few weeks. I am struggling with time. As usual my blogging takes a hit when this happens (which is so frustrating). Homeschooling is so time consuming and the longer it continues the harder it gets. After week 9 it was half term…
I love reading. During my twenties I was all about easy read chick lit books. Or maybe the more appropriate term is light woman’s fiction books.

It was all about celebrating this momentum occasion at home. Introducing Go Outdoors Thankfully Go Outdoors were on hand…
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…
