Well, we’re back to school… at least three of us are. Thomas is at work, and Gary has taken the older girls to Kingston. Charlotte, although she has one more exam to take (mà ths), has officially left our little homeschool. She is school bound in September to study Theatre Studies, English Literature and History at… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 154

And Then There Were Four…
Gary and I are currently in a very quiet house. The littles are outside creating a shop, after just soaking each other in a water fight. Thomas left this morning for Soul Survivor, and is away for the next week. And the twins are still living the high life in Northern Ireland. It sure is… Continue reading And Then There Were Four…
Summer Fun
Most of our summers have been spent on some big adventure or another: One year it was the Little House on the Prairie; the next, I think, was South America Incas, Mayans and the Aztecs; yet another was the Shakespeare summer. All in all we’ve had some fun times over the years. Last year I… Continue reading Summer Fun
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 120
Hello everyone! I hope you all had a lovely bank holiday Monday. We decided to work through ours as Lillie only has three weeks before all her photographic projects have to be handed in, and Charlotte’s exams are starting this coming Monday. I reached a brick wall on Sunday. I have worked solidly for the… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 120
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 115
We only did a half day today, as this afternoon I was out for lunch with mum; Becs had gymnastics for an hour; Abigail had a friend round and then they were off to drama class and we are hosting the youth group tonight, feeding them to boot… all without a husband in sight! So… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 115
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 114
Gary left for Slovenia early this morning for three days on a grass conference. He left me with a heap of hormonal females. I am thinking I might move out! The day began with tears and lots of cuddles. Baths always help so I prescribed one for each of my girls and we kind of… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 114
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 113
We began the morning by making simple sentences form the Latin flash cards. This was a slightly unusual start to the day, but I had meant to do it yesterday but plain forgot! I thought it would be such a simple activity, but honestly it took ages! Whilst Charlotte went round to mum’s for Latin… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 113
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 112
The race is on. Charlotte’s first exam is two weeks today! It’s her Latin Language exam, arguably the hardest paper for her. She has learnt all the vocab, and will continue to revise this each day with Granny, but she needs to work a bit on the grammar. Charlotte knows half of it really well… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 112
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 109
My eight year old made porridge this morning for the masses, all by herself. She wasn’t asked to do it, she just decided. Becs rolled the oats and cooked one dairy free porridge for Charlotte and a larger dairy one for everyone else, with nuts, seeds and frozen blue berries! Just before school, I captured… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 109
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 108
Thursdays are a slightly odd day for us because we are all fairly busy doing things outside of the house. This means we fit in school where ever we can. Lillie is at work on a Thursday and today opted to walk there, leaving so early I did not get to see her. She has… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 108
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 107
From the moment I got out of bed, and Lillie greeted me at my door with a loving hug, I knew today was going to be a better day than the day before. Lillie is a very special child, because she notices what is going on with everyone around her and seeks to fix it,… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 107
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 106
All day I’ve had a niggly horrible feeling that I’ve not done enough. I’ve not done enough to help Lillie succeed in her photography. I’ve not done enough to help Charlotte succeed in her GCSEs. I’ve not done enough to help Charlotte succeed in her maths which she finds so very difficult. I have an… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 106
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 105
Easter holidays sure are weird this year. We took a couple of weeks break, although Charlotte did a little bit of Latin each day. But Thomas is only just now starting his Easter holidays! Very odd. We are now entering the final leg of Charlotte’s exams and Lillie’s A Level photography. I have spent the… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 105
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 88
The younger girls had a friend coming round in the afternoon, so there was a sense of needing to get on today. I had one of my ridiculously outrageous mental lists in my head of things which needed to be done before EM came over. It’s a good job these are mental lists and not… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 88
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 87
I think I must be fighting an infection at the moment, along with mum, Thomas and Becca. I feel so tired. In a moment of weakness I moaned to my younger twin, who grinned at me and said, ‘Mother, you just need to choose to make the best of it, and put a smile on… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 87
