Shh… BANG!
Theatre trip with the little ones today, to meet up with several other home educating families and see Peut-Etre Theatre Shh… BANG! I was impressed. Really enjoyable show, actors so expressive and the use of movement and sound was incredibly imaginative. Great to see a roomful of happy engaged small children (and, for that…
Half term fun at the Swallow Brewer's Fayre in Ipswich
A week or two ago we were fortunate to be asked to review the local Brewer’s Fayre with a view to checking out their facilities for half term facilities. The very friendly and professional staff were great to talk to, and it turned out that we were there the day they were planning half term…

Weekend snippets Feb 14 2016
{Chopping} brambles. Is that gardening or ungardening? Whatever it was I appear to have overdone it slightly, as I’ve got rather sore legs tonight. {watching} toy story as our family film night choice. Fab to so easily have access to such classic films via Netflix. I had forgotten the moments of mild peril which caused…
Weekend snippets February 7th 2016
{watching} The Killing on Netflix. While cuddling up under the warmest snuggliest blanket ever. {listening} to Country music. Always. And arguing over the lyrics. Obviously. {walking} in the woods. Loads of people there today, and lots of signs of Spring. No bluebells yet though. {throwing out} a whole bunch of cheap charity biros. And wondering…
Playmobil easter eggs – the mermaid, the pirate and the boy with a ball.
I know it was only just Christmas, but it’s already coming up on Easter (the joys of movable festivals). If you’re looking for something a little more lasting (and a little less over packaged), I highly recommend Playmobil easter eggs instead of the traditional chocolate variety. We reviewed some last year, and I loved the…
Home education – news round up for January.
There’s been a lot of mentions of home education (or homeschooling) in a variety of media outlets over the last 6 weeks or so, I thought it might be useful to do a round up with some commentary. The mentions started back in December, with a couple of articles based around the same statement on…
Reading together – Fairytale phonics from Miles Kelly
A little while ago we were sent some Miles Kelly phonics books to review. At the time, Smallest was completely uninterested, so they languished on a pile, looking very attractive but being mainly unloved. A couple of weeks ago, she had a new burst of interest in the whole reading process, and as is the…
Another weekend down – some snippets
{driving} Saturday was one child in next town for 8am for first aid training, then next child there for 10 for computers. Headed back to do the shopping and got a text saying we had a poorly Tigerboy. {nursing} and washing the next order of the day then. He’s got another cough, and pretty much…
It's Friday again?
How did that happen? We have done stuff. It’s been a quiet week though, and I swear it was only Tuesday last time I looked. More drawing for me and the littlies – they are really interested in exploring the art stuff I’m getting out for them, and it’s great to work alongside them with…
