What direction we would take our children’s school in; things we needed to focus on; things we needed to drop; blogging goals; relationship goals…..you name it, I pondered it. My one main goal, which does not……

Project Based Learning: A Very Victorian Christmas
Charlotte had the best time learning about how the Victorians celebrated Christmas and planning her very own Victorian Christmas. She put hours and hours of research into this and it went swimmingly. As Nik said, ‘Who else could say that they went to a steam punk Victorian themed Christmas party?’ It was very cool and……

Homemade Christmas: Name Hangings
I made these for the girls for their Christmas stocking present. I bought four slate hearts for a pound (!) from The Works and wrote each girls’ name with the meaning underneath. We chose the names for their meanings so this was a meaningful present for all the girls to receive: They were the perfect size……
Christmas Tradition: Books after Christmas
I saw this on Leah’s blog and I was enchanted with the whole idea. Well, it is books, and you all know how much I love books. So I sent off for some books the children had asked politely been nagging for, collected some brown paper, twine and sellotape and I was ready to create……
