Seasons of Joy: Surprising things about Living Sugar Free
This is just a quick post today. Somehow the day has got away from me, probably because Gary is home and I am enjoying my time with him far too much to spend any at the computer <3 First thing first….I am still sugar-free and it has now been a month! But over this month […]

Precious Moments {21 April – 28 April}
Gary had planned all week to move the logs from the side of the garden to the back of the garden, so we can create some flower beds. So in this quest, he spent Saturday morning laying some paving stones next to the teen nook for the log shed to sit on. The littles had a […]

When Life Stands Still
Have you ever felt your life stand still? Maybe for a moment, a day, a week, a month or even a year? You see friends and acquaintances moving on, possibly furthering their careers or even changing their career all together, or having more children and adding to their family.

Planet 316 {Review}

Banana and Raisin Bread {Sugar Free}
This banana and raisin bread is a muffin recipe I was given by a friend when I lived in Northern Ireland. I’m not actually sure this is a bread per se. It is adapted from that muffin recipe we’ve been using for years. It is fail safe and very simple to make. My six year […]

Seasons of Joy: The Ripples of a Sugar Free Life
Three weeks sugar free! Aren’t I doing well? I’ve been substituting all things sugar laden with fruit. Sweet fruit. Expensive fruit. Fruit, which if I continue to buy at the rate I am will surely bankrupt us. I have found this remarkably easy though and was even beginning to think I perhaps didn’t have the […]

Precious Moments {15th April-21st April}
You know when you get to the end of the week tired but incredibly happy with life? That is this week for me. The whole week has been full of goodness. It was lovely to have a two week break, but as usual we are all much more content when we are profitably occupied, and this […]

Interest-Led Learning for Teenagers: An Interview with Me!
Some of the questions you asked were geared towards me rather than my teens so I thought I’d interview myself using those questions as a basis! Describe how your school has changed over the past few years? Well, a few years ago we started experimenting with unschooling. Unschooling had always appealed, but attached to the […]
