Well, our visitors have been and gone – a lovely day discussing curriculum, books and behaviour with the mother of a couple of home edded girls, while the girls mainly played together. We also made peg dolls in the victorian style (well, reasonably in the victorian style) .

Dd is now chilling with a small amount of tv, dp has retired to bed with a headache and I am meditating on books (a favourite topic to meditate on, I must admit).

We also did dd’s scrapbook this morning about our visit yesterday, and I was horrified to discover it’s over a year since we put anything in there! We used to do it really regularly, and I knew we hadn’t done it for a bit, but last september?? Where does the time go? Couldn’t disappear between the keys on this keyboard could 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.
