{making} silver jewellery. You’ll want to check the previous post. There’s a handy link at the bottom 🙂

{reading} Oops.

{watching} Vexed – not sure about it. Fringe – excellent use of Joshua Jackson, particularly playing piano, good continuity (beaten up in one episode, still showing bruises in next? That’s unusual.) Developing some humour, a good sign, but leaning over to the horror a bit more often than I like. Still, worth a look. (On Netflix)

{setting} the alarm, sadly, to get up and go shopping for camp stuff. Have noticed the packing list doesn’t have pyjamas on it. Wonder how they’re going to feel having to pop to Tesco for 60 sets 😉

{writing} see Excerpt. Couple posts back. Will link later.

{decluttering} continues apart from today when I was mostly out. Am making real progress in the garage. Contemplating decluttering the house into the garage when I’m done 😉 

{eating} roast chicken. Which was really rather good. Although Smallest decided halfway through that she wasn’t eating meat any more. Except fish. And bacon. Fish isn’t cute apparently, and bacon is too good not to eat.

Always on the other device. Sigh.

Snapshots

Big has started her charity shop stint and has started drawing again. (Her instagram is really rather lovely at the moment.) Small has started making online friends. Without, of course, exchanging any personal details. He’s very happy. Smallest and Tigerboy had a great time doing pirate pictures with me. As will be seen when I work out which device the picture is on.

I’m enjoying my drawing a day challenge. See my instagram, there’s a link over there somewhere.

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.
