About nine months ago, Gary got me Publisher, to fulfil my desire to create my own note pages. The reason I wanted to do this was two-fold. Firstly, I wanted to create pages which were very specific to what we were learning. Secondly, I wanted to be able to share something with you, my readers,… Continue reading Life of Fred: Butterflies Review Booklet – Free Printable!

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…

A Day in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 122
I thought I’d show you Lillie’s photography work, charting Charlotte’s journey through ME last year. I have snipped her final twelve photos from her project document, along with her notes: This morning, Thomas had a driving lesson and then was dropped off by his driving instructor to the station to catch the train to college.… Continue reading A Day in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 122
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 165
Today the children all had friends coming round in the afternoon so we needed to squeeze in everything I wanted to finish before lunch. The first thing was making sure Thomas’ morning went smoothly. I made him breakfast in bed, but he chose to join us at the table. He was doing his driving test… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 165
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 170
Seriously, Gary needs to stop having days off!! It is SO hard to leave him in the morning…so sometimes I don’t 🙂 I think it may have been coming up to nine before we were all up, and gone half nine before we started school. Gary started a new job back in December and he… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 170
A Year in the Life of a Homeschooling Family: Day 164
This was a funny ol’ day today with mum coming back from holiday (I have been cat-sitting for her for the past week), Thomas, who is working such long hours at the moment at college (and loving every minute of it!) and Lillie, who had a ‘Singing with Makaton’ course in a nearby town. She… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Homeschooling Family: Day 164
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 162
Gary had the day off today. I find having my gorgeous husband at home very distracting! I had to force my way out of bed this morning, and leave him be so I could start breakfast. I have been waking the girls each morning at seven as well. They are less than impressed but it… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 162
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 163
This morning I awoke bright and breezy, and woke everyone else up to join me 🙂 They groaned but I think they quietly actually enjoy the time it gives them in the morning… I took the littles to the park after a scrummy oatmeal breakfast. We were there for about half an hour and whilst… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 163
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 71
‘Mummy, mummy! The fish has rabies!’ Charlotte squealed in my ear… ‘Eh? You what now?!’ ‘Look, it’s foaming at the mouth!’ She finishes, doubling over in hysterics And so begins the cooking dinner of yesterday. Things are never boring with Charlotte around! What with foaming fish and cracked boiled eggs, and mis-timing on almost everything… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 71
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 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 161
Before I write about today, I’d like to post some photos from yesterday. In England it was Father’s Day. Now last year we had taken Gary out for lunch and thoroughly regretted it after spending a lot of money on food which came late, was cold and the restaurant was so busy and noisy, none… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 161
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
