Thomas Got Baptised!
So special <3 Thomas, I’m so proud of you. Dad and I love you so much <3 (Many thanks to our new photography tutor, Andy, for the photos!)
A Day in the Life….
Our Monday started, after Thomas, A9 and Gary had been to ‘Encounters’, a praise and worship night which Gary led. Special things happened that night. Friendships were consolidated, prophesies shared and the presence of God was there throughout. The girls were sad to miss it, but baby sitting for their God-son more than made up……
Precious Moments
I am almost too busy to blog right now. It is becoming harder and harder to find the time in my day needed to write any post, let alone in depth posts. I desperately want to capture all my memories in my hands and let the words flow out of my fingers, planting them firmly……
Precious Moments
Well, if last week we were all on fire, this week there has barely been a spark! I was beginning to fall apart at the seams due to a lack of a space to call my own (ie a bedroom) and a general lack of organisation in our little home school. I am atrocious at……
Let’s Go Geography {Review}
Let’s Go Geography is a year long geography curriculum written by homeschool mum turned primary school teacher, Carol Henderson. With all the experience she has under her belt schooling first her five children and then the pupils in her class, you can bet Carol knows what she is talking about! The video below gives an……
Our Resident Nutter…
Charlotte has been musing quite a bit recently….wondering why the singular of sheep is not shoop, and why one fish is not called a foosh. She is constantly philosophising over random inconsequential the very important things in life and often wanders into a room, states the particular muse of the day and wanders out, leaving……
Astronomy: Unit One – The Solar System
For our study into the solar system, we used the Apologia Text Book and accompanying Notebook. I also have access to Everyday Astronomy from School House Teachers, as well as lots of bits and pieces I used with my older ones that I have collected over the years. Goals for Studying the Solar System Learn……
Carole P. Roman – Children’s Book Author {Review}
It is so unusual for vendors to send their products over to the UK, which in general limits me to reviewing online products, so I was thrilled to receive not one, but four books from the very talented Carole P. Roman! I have reviewed Carole’s books before and always found them a very good fit……
Oh, What a Mess!
This is Mine and Gary’s bedroom right now: We also have no bathroom, are basically living and homeschooling in the two rooms upstairs and have little to no actual floor space to move on. The whole house is an obstacle course. Needless to say, we are REALLY looking forward to life returning to normal….
Let the Little Children Come {Review}
Let the Little Children Come is a company which offers child evangelism tools and tracts, such as their Halloween tract: Is There Anything Better Than Candy? Box-Tract. What are ‘Is There Anything Better Than Candy?’ Box-Tracts? These are not like any tracts I have ever seen before! They come in packs of twenty pieces of……
Opinions Please….
We are currently having some work done in our house to turn what was a two bed cottage but used as a four bed cottage into a proper four bed cottage. Okay, even I’m confused now! Basically the bedroom we created in the hall way for the littles (the one we have to walk through……
Happy Birthday…
…to the most incredible man I know: We’ve been together now for almost half our life times. I love you so much Gary, and feel so very blessed to get to spend the rest of our years together. Let’s grow old disgracefully 😉

This is a copy of Lillie’s eighth art lesson, which was all about colour theory. The final task was to create a colour still life of fruit. She loved this lesson and learnt such a lot that she will be able to apply to her jewellery making in the future. This time, instead of a……
