the blizzard blew through

and now the children are gone for the afternoon 🙂

In case you’re wondering what I’m doing blogging in the middle of a Monday, I’m off work feeling kind of sorry for myself, and for once, not at all guilty. There’s no way I could have handled the drive today, just not up to it.

So we’ve had a relatively quiet morning with more class tv, especially Pod’s mission about plants, lots of imaginative play, and a fair bit of Lazytown inspired bouncing. What is it about that programme? They both seem to love it. Suppose it could be the very pink bouncy superhero girl for Big, but really not sure what the attraction is for Small. I know he doesn’t like Robbie Rotten anyway 😉

And now they’ve gone off to puddlers, and I’m considering pottering through some of my task list and fitting in a nap…

eta – wonder if this sort of thing Picnic Day! (Ready-To-Read) would inspire Big to more reading 😉

  1. Well, I think I’d be quite reluctant to voluntarily introduce *more* Lazytown to my house, but each to one’s own 😉
    Yeah, as Deb said, the yellow/blue bananas went down well here, and some Usborne ones like this

  2. Apparently, our unusually mild winter is responsible for the one you are having. -35C at night is part of January weather here. This month it hasn’t gotten down to -20C.

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.
