Reading, Watching and Listening for the Weekend
Welcome to my new weekly list of things I have been reading, watching and listening to over the past week. If you have any recommendations please do link to them in the comments and share with everyone else. I’d love some new places to explore! Without further ado… Reading This week I finished Yellow Face……
Kindle Direct Publishing {Homeschool Mum Small Business}
When I took my designs up to the local gift shop in our village, one comment the owner made was that once you have designs you can then use them on pretty much anything. She’d had one lady who had started out offering five greeting cards and was now selling cups, plaques, prints…all from her……
The Great British Bake Off
Yesterday marked the beginning of our summer holidays. Ads and the younger two girls have not moved from the sofa since Saturday, playing MineCraft together! It’s punctuated with ‘Hey, have you stolen my sheep?’ and ‘Oi, I needed that coal, give it back!’ amongst much laughter. I see much MineCraft in their immediate future, although……
Shout Out for Our NHS
I think I’ve mentioned in a previous post how exhausted I have felt lately. So tired that on some days I have fallen asleep sitting up whilst I’ve been working. I can’t sleep at night time so sleeping during the day is practically unheard of! My family have been nagging me to go to the……

My First Supplier
So… a recap. There I was, sitting in my car in the village hall car park, trying to persuade my legs to work. You see they felt a bit wobbly. I was on my way to visit a local shop to see whether they liked my designs enough to stock them in their shop. I……
Homeschool Log Book {June}
Morning Meeting I hold a morning meeting for between 30-40 minutes per day with both girls. I read the following curriculum out-loud: Who Is God? – Chapter Six – How Will You Run the Race? Instructions on how to make sensible and wise decisions about your life. Mystery of History Vol 2: The Early Church and the……
Samarra Culture {Mesopotamia Unit}
The Samarra culture is a prehistoric period of history which developed from the pottery neolithic era of the Natufians. There are three such cultures (Halaf, Sumarra and Ubaid), Halaf being the oldest. These three cultures comprise the very beginnings of the Mesopotamian Civilisation which followed.

So Sorry…
As most of you now know, I have combined my two websites into one, angelicscalliwags. I followed the instructions and it completed yesterday. And because of this, I have a sorry to say 😬 What I had not realised is that by adding one to the other, WordPress would send out all 71 posts again……
Plans to Combine my Blogs
I began this blog to get back into writing daily, which is what I had done for donkey’s years on angelicscalliwags.com. Somehow, though, as I had less and less homeschool stuff to write about, my writing dwindled to almost nothing. I love jotting my thoughts down. About anything and everything. And seasonsofjoy.uk has allowed me……
Progress in June
Firstly, I’m going to share my progress relating to the goals I set down for June. I wrote them down because Noom, the weightless program I am on, suggested it. Apparently, writing goals down makes it more likely you will meet them. Well, let’s see if that’s true for me… Weight My goal for my……
Books Read in June
For all the books I’ve read this year, see Books Read Between January and March, Books Read in April and Books Read in May. My goal in June was to read ten books which I have done and surpassed! It’s been a mixed bunch this month, which included a children’s book that I have never……
The Importance of Eating Well Before a Gym Session
I have noticed a pattern in how easy I find the gym verses what I eat for my lunch on any given day. I eat the same breakfast every morning – porridge with fruit, nuts and seeds – and I honestly don’t think I could do any better than this. It is high calorie, well……
Colour Me Pretty
Most of my life has been spent in clothes that are either black or brown. The occasional summer top may have had colour, but in the main I have chosen to wear colours I can hide in rather than stand out in. I wonder if I have always been this way? Certainly I have for……
