Man have always found ways to create. It seems to be a vital part of being human. In fact, it is one of the things which set us apart from animals. Did it contribute anything to human survival? Probably not. And yet we still created. On stone, in caves, using peplos, tusks and wood –… Continue reading Natufian Art {Mesopotamia Unit Study}

Homeschool Log Book {November}
This is all the work that the girls have completed over the last few weeks. These weeks have been filled with winter colds and bugs.

On the plus side, Abigail expressed the wish to do something more… Continue reading Homeschool Log Book {November}

A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 79
I woke up this morning to the littles almost done with their workbooks for the day. Apparently they’d been up early and organised their day. Hmmm. I’m fairly certain that was my job to do? Actually, they’d only planned up to the end of their work books. Y’know, dress, teeth, hair, breakfast, workbooks… Not sure… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 79
A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 80
Sometimes the day starts skewered, and today was that day. I woke at the fairly respectable time of seven. Within minutes I had Lillie telling me she was leaving for work, Charlotte bathed and fully dressed with chores completed joking about with an also fully dressed Thomas asking me which weekly chores I wanted him… Continue reading A Year in the Life of a Home-Schooling Family: Day 80

Can you believe Christmas is in less than a month?! Christmas has well and truly come to our house, and if Becca had anything to do with it, it would have started the day after Christmas last year!

Each Saturday night we have family night. Sometimes one of the teens cook or maybe Gary cooks with the help of the younger ones… this week, Lillie cooked a lovely chicken tikka.

Artist Study: Henri Rousseau
