Attempting to catch him for his bath tonight, I said, “Small, am I going to carry you upstairs by your feet?”
“No!”
“Oh, are you going to walk then?”
“No! Run…..” and off he went, demonstrating 😉

“MMM! nappy ‘peard!”
Oookay.

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.

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.
