for an anniversary.

Not of the blog – it’s one year today that Small was born. In about 10 minutes time he’ll be a year old. He was born roughly where I’m sitting, not far from where he’s crawling about just now, and I’ve spent the whole day thinking about it, reminiscing, and preparing for a little party tomorrow. So everybody cross everything that it doesn’t rain here, or I’ll be putting the tent up, ‘cos I can’t fit the number of ppl I’ve invited into the house!

Eerily, dd is at the friend’s house she was at last year, so it’s just me, dp and ds together. It’s been a nice quiet day, with a couple of visits to bring ds presents – he is really enjoying it. Right now he’s rolling a dump truck over one of dd’s dolls…just as well she isn’t here to see it.

How I Can Help

After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.

Resources to Support Your Home Ed Journey

I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.
