Saturday snippets 28 March 2015

{travelling} to London and back again, specifically to Maggie and Rose in Kensington. Fun venue. Tempted to redecorate now 😉 Made for a long day but was worth it. Am rather regretting carrying a small sleeping boy on the tube without making a fuss about getting a seat, as I’m now walking with a limp. Photostory of the day on g+

{learning} about colours, ink jets, and pointillism. Amazing what you get out of blog events 😉 Lovely lovely day out for #HPInstantInk, more on that soon 🙂

{not reading} aargh, let’s move on, shall we?

{watching} Once upon a time on NetflixUK. We’ve just started season 2, it’s a bit confusing but I’m sure it will settle down. It does settle down, doesn’t it? (No, no spoilers!)

{beta testing} XYZBuilds. Wonderful fun. (see picture below for proof 😉 )

Snapshots.

Big has started to follow through on some big ideas for the next few years. I’m looking forward to seeing where she takes them. Small *should* have an article in First News, but I forgot to buy it. Hoping there are still some copies available somewhere in town! Smallest looked at a sign in the station today, and sounded out ‘wet’. She’s beginning to realise that she can read, and read all the words, everywhere. It’s wonderful to watch. Tigerboy today occupied himself for hours on a Slate 21 device – I particularly enjoyed watching him learning to play piano! He’s becoming very capable with all this stuff. Must make sure there are holes to dig and sticks to play with as well.

And drawing? Yes, there’s been some of that. And I’m currently working on some new design stuff for the blog. Can’t quite decide how far I want to go with that though (did I mention not good with change? 😉 )

Oddly, I think this scribbly little number is my favourite of the week.

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.

Resources to Support Your Home Ed 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.
