Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!

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. 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.

We *are* to blame, depending on the issue at hand. You may have noticed that the teachers unions blame parents and the government, whereas the govt can’t blame itself, thus parents must be to blame.
Steve Sinnott and Ruth Kelly are in prominent positions of authority, so they must be seen to be ‘doing’ something ie justifying their jobs and salaries. Therefore we put up with this public
banterheated debate. The reality is that they are best buddies, go drinking together and really don’t give a damn about the entire education system.See….what was complicated about that?
Actually, my first teacher at infants school was called Mrs Sinnott and she wasn’t very nice. She told me off my first day at school for getting her name wrong. I didn’t like her from that moment on. I wonder if they are related…………..
I can’t imagine what you might have called her 🙂
