  • The Light

    The first rays of the sun tell you morning has returned, yet dark clouds weigh heavy. The news is grim, the world struggles to turn. People fearing the truth and turning away. For light to shine darkness must be seen.

  • Making Mistakes

    I’ve been hearing a lot lately in interviews and podcasts about the benefits of making mistakes. Its really made me think about the importance of making them and is something I discuss frequently with dearest son as part of the homeschool process. Recently we’ve been struggling through a specific maths area. Day one was very…

  • Do you still like to receive ‘Real Post’?

    I have been made aware of a fantastic website for people like me who still like to receive ‘real post’, actual mail through the door. I stumbled upon this information when I was trawling through sites about homeschooling and a mum (mom!) said she used this site to help with geography. Its called Postcrossing and…

  • Dog Biscuits – healthy, cheap and easy to make!

    I’m on a bit of a ‘dog’ theme lately as I do my best to help Scooby back to full health. As part of that, I’m trying not to to buy commercial dog treats – just as I’ve drastically cut down on what human treats I buy. So far, the easiest and cheapest treat I…

  • Growing up or growing old?

    I don’t feel old enough for wisdom but I’m too old for youth. I’m not as young as I’d like Not as healthy as I was. But I’ve walked further, seen more sights, overcome more hurdles. I’m not the same as I was. I’m not the same as I will become.

Maybe its a natural feeling of things slowing down – although us gardeners or homeschoolers will tell you thats a myth! I’ve been pondering over my previous posts and it occurred to me, the first line I ever ‘blogged’…

    Sparkle sparkle little star have you travelled very far? Will you be seen tomorrow night or will time snuff out your little light? Puffy fluffy little cloud floating like a rain filled shroud. Will you soak us all today or take your droplets far away? Blowy blowy windy day just a gust or here to…
