We’ve had a lovely relaxing time over this half term week. The weather has been fabulous and we have managed to cook outside twice. It is pouring with rain right now though, so I’m glad we managed to enjoy the sun whilst it lasted. Charlotte continues to do well. She and Ads went up to…

Precious Moments
It has been a very busy but relaxing week. As the Covid restrictions lift, we are all running into the arms of those friends we have missed. The littles are thoroughly enjoying their times spent with their favourite friend, Evie Mae, and are loving the fact that she is now allowed in our house. The…
Precious Moments
Having been away for a couple of weeks, I am now needing to hit the floor running...only, I’ve been relaxing for ten days and done very little apart from look after Charlotte. I have discovered I rather like doing nothing and would like to extend my holiday to another few weeks... Unfortunately, that is not…
Precious Moments
A great productive week this week. The sunshine makes such a huge difference to all our energy levels and general enthusiasm. Over the weekend, the girls had their Edwardian Era presentation, which I will be posting about later: It was their first presentation, and both were a little bit nervous. But they did a great…
Seasons of Joy
I’m sharing a little bit from my adult children today. I am so proud of each one of them. They amaze me everyday- they are my best friends, my biggest supporters and the absolute joy of my life. As you all know, Thomas works for a church as an assistant worship pastor. His college work…
June Precious Moments
The last month has gone by in a flash! What with finishing up exams, as well as completing various courses before the summer holidays, and a couple of shows the children are all performing in....well time simply disappeared. My children (especially the female variety) have been nagging me to get back to my precious moments…
Spring Precious Moments {14-/04/2018 – 20/04/2018}
This has been such a lovely week. We have somehow found balance again, which is so important for the relaxed homeschool I always hope to create. There is a good mixture of jolly hard work, siblings spending lots of time together helping and playing together, as well as lots of time spent with friends and…
Precious Spring Moments {09/03/2018 – 16/03/2018}
It's been a good week all in all. The little ones and I have been working hard on their history and I am loving the freedom of using a curriculum and adding my own little sparkle to it. Mystery of History is a great solid curriculum and, I have to say, not having to worry…
Spring Precious Moments
I would have to question whether spring has actually sprung down in the South East of England...it is still freeeeezing here, although the sunshine does pop its merry head out every now and again to remind us all of what we are missing. The tide has turned in the angelicscalliwags homeschool. We are relaxed once…
Wintery Precious Moments {February Week Three}
I can't believe I'm going to start yet another post with another infection, but I am 🙁 My littlest came down with a tummy infection, which I believe is just an extension of the cold/flu bug we can't seem to shift. She spent the day vomiting phlegm, with a really high temperature. It started early…
Wintery Precious Moments (Week Two)
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Hellooooo...this is just a quick post this week, recapping the very few moments I had the opportunity to capture on film. Unfortunately, A9 seems to have gone down again with this infection, despite ensuring lots of fresh fruit and veg and fresh air. Lillie informed me a couple of minutes…
January Precious Moments Wrap Up
I can not believe this is the last Friday in January! Where on earth does the time go? As always, we have kept ourselves very busy. We have battled a nasty cold which has seen Lillie on antibiotics and a burst ear drum and A9 with a sea of snot which seems never ending! In…
Wintery Precious Moments (January: Week Two)
It has been a funny ol' week, with some delight and some stress.... It began on Monday, with Thomas' 16th birthday (gasp...16!!), which unfortunately fell on the day of Charlotte's first English Literature IGCSE exam. We spent the morning unwrapping presents and spoiling our near adult son: He then went out for his yearly (birthday)…
Precious Moments: Reflecting
Last Saturday night Gary and I were attending a close friend's 40th birthday. There were lots (and lots) of people and usually I would find every excuse possible not to go. This friend however knows my propensity to opt out of large gatherings and made me promise I'd go. So I did 🙂 Whilst we…
Precious Moments: Holiday in Northern Ireland
Welcome to my precious moments post, a few weeks too late but nevertheless here now 🙂 I am struggling so much to find the time to do everything I need to do. I understand now why home school bloggers of older children tend to write fewer posts. Even though my three older ones are to…
