Saturday snippets 20th July
{enjoying} the sunshine after the rain. And lots of butterflies in the garden. {reading} the Valdemar books. I’m up to Magic’s Price, although I’m reading around the series whenever I get my hands on a set. {eating} sensibly. I just started a 28 day program of yoga and dieting to try and halt the thyroid…
Saturday snippets 11th May
{working} full time for a short while. Which is a very odd experience, it’s been a while. I’m a lot more tired by it than I used to be. {reading} every Mercedes Lackey book I can get my hands on. Came across Foundation for £1 in a charity shop and now I need to read…
Middlesbrough children encouraged to read with chance to win iPad mini. Confirmed open to home educators.

The other path.
I didn’t start home educating as an act of rebellion, but it seems increasingly the government views this entirely legal activity that way. Instead, it was to give my children space to be themselves without external judgement /artificial standards /ridiculous amounts of unnecessary testing. I thought we’d probably only home educate through primary years, then…
On not going back to school. Staying at not school?
We went out and about today, and bought stationery for the new not-school year that’s fast approaching. None of this terminology makes much sense. As I’ve said, we’ve drifted into an unschooling lifestyle where there’s really not a lot of division in the day between overtly educational activities and games and playing and just life…
