Falling apart at the seams

I’ve just come out of my room in the process of getting dressed to find Big standing at the top of the stairs with Small in her arms. Regular readers will know that Small isn’t really that small – if he’d decided to wriggle, the consequences would have been disastrous. This is a culmination of three days of increasingly bad behaviour from Big, I suspect as a direct result of my lack of focus following Christmas.

I’ll be pulling back all necessary resources to deal with myself and my family for a bit, so there won’t be very much day to day blogging.

  1. Take care Jax (from the Queen of absentee bloggers), we’ve had a fair bit of post Christmas hysteria here.

  2. ((hugs)) Will try to call or catch you later.

  3. Yeah, identify completely. We’ve had a post-Christmas clampdown on wild behaviour here too – or we’re trying to, at any rate. And that’s just the grown ups 😉

  4. Yep that’s why I am being Principle atm! Sarah I am concerned because the grown ups here are behaving!

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.

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.
