Another great week has come and gone. The three older children are preparing to take their exams, Thomas (Chemistry IGCSE) in May and the girls (English Language IGCSE) in June. All three are going through past papers and are using SAM Learning for revision purposes. The rest of our school work is taking a bit……

Precious Moments {11th-17th March}
This week we have the most glorious weather, and the children, especially the little ones, have been outside every minute they can: The flowers are poking through, reassuring us that spring is here to stay: The little ones had a picnic on one day and I felt incredibly privileged to witness them saying Grace before……
Precious Moments
My eldest daughter sat me down last week telling me she had two questions to ask me. The first was ‘where were the precious moments posts?’ and the second was ‘when was I going to start writing them again?’ I hadn’t realised they had meant so much to her. Time is getting away from me……
Precious Moments
Last week began with a pink piggy party! Nik’s son is mad about pigs and as it was his 12th birthday coming up we decided to celebrate in pink piggy style! I wasn’t entirely sure how a 12-year-old boy would react to such an onslaught of pink, but I needn’t have worried, he loved it……

The biggest news this week is that we have finally got the base down for our teen nook and man cave for the bottom of our garden! The week began with dismantling the small rotten shed we had and smashing up its concrete base, to be incorporated into the larger, soon to be laid, concrete……
Fun, Futures, and Following Dreams

This week was our week off. I had great plans to catch up on all my blog reading, write a few posts, school plan and rest some, maybe even slipping in a bit of book writing at the same time. I was so busy I did absolutely none of the above. Nada. Sigh. We did……

This has been a furiously busy week with much work and not a lot of photo opportunities. We are off next week and I had lots of work I wanted to finish before then. Over the weekend B4 wrote a letter to A7 and drew a beautiful picture at the bottom. It was so sweet:……
Precious Moments
This week began with illness, a peculiar one with very high temperatures and a sore throat, nothing else. B4’s travelled through to her ear and she spent all of Monday night screaming with pain. Of course we took her to the doctors the next day and she is now on ‘yummy banana juice’ (antibiotics). I……
Precious Moments
This week began our first full week back at school since before Christmas. Yes, I know. Our winter holidays were a little long this year but I guess that is the advantage of homeschooling 🙂 Last week ended with a smattering of snow: which the little ones played in for as long as they could,making……
Valentine Restaurant: A Love Shown
I had another post planned for today, but I was so overwhelmed by my children last night that I wanted to share RIGHT AWAY!! Yesterday morning we were informed that we were required to dress up for a valentine dinner at Valentine Restaurant, which the children were opening just for us that night. We grinned……
