  • blog copiously (as this is the second post of the day, well on the way to that target!)
  • include some pictures
  • install wordpress elsewhere, while keeping notes, and write about the experience
  • hang yesterday’s washing out.
  • do today’s washing
  • take stuff to charity shop, thereby working towards
  • find space in garage to put tent away
  • get Big to take pictures of my hair so that I can
  • cut hair following you tube instructions and blog about it (of course)
  • update my cv, write covering letter, apply for a job
  • buy english heritage festival of history tickets
  • make a list, on paper, of everything else I’ve got to do and assign a certain number of tasks to days so that I start doing them and stop feeling so hopelessly incompetent and ineffectual. Sigh
  • try to remind myself that this too will pass, and I will miss baby days and breastfeeding when they are gone

    A much shorter list….car wash/buy stamps/send a post card/phone family members….look after my older boys….I’m knackered reading your list!! A bit of Flylady too, she keeps my show on the road.

      The looking after older children, making tea for family and that kind of thing had to go unsaid, they are the standard items. Can’t be doing with flylady though, she gets me very stressed!

    It will pass, you know that. Even on the most trying days, it will pass. Sending love and a cup of tea and a babycuddle.

      Hi Rachael
      Yes, it passes. And in some ways that’s the saddest thing about it, that you look back and realise you wasted precious time stropping instead of being present. Must remember to savour baby days, especially the tough ones.

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.
