Ah there is nothing like a new book or four to bring a teeny bit more joy to a lemon yellow Spring morning, which is why I was absolutely thrilled to hear Postman Steven using all his old man might to shove a couple of Amazon packages through my door yesterday morning… First on my…

My ridiculous child managed to get himself run over on Friday. No really RUN OVER. By a CAR. Flung on to the bonnet so hard he cracked the window screen with his scull. Then because he is Finley and rates kindness very highly he stood up and apologised to the driver and asked HIM if…
Darn it, I hate waiting for books! Particularly when they look as Swedish-Scrumptious as this one does! Not due to be published until October 1st 2013, Vintage Crafts is written by Clara Lidstrom of UnderbaraClara fame and looks set to be just as lovely and inspirational as her happy little blog… That chest on the…

Oh Darlings, though it pains me deeply that it should be so, I rather fear that this is going to have to be an Au Revoir for now. I know you have become quite used to me and my muddly little pontificating about this, that and the other but a new day has brought a…
ahhh, so true. There is a message in this for all of us.
Ali, thinking of you and your precious Finley.

Yes, very true. Too many of us failed to shine at school because of the need to fit into others’ parameters. Have you been watching ‘Make your child brilliant’ with Bernadette Tynan? At last an expert addressing some of these issues – it’s well worth a watch.
Ahh – very well put. We've chosen to homeschool our two girls for these exact reasons!
Hi Alyson !

Thank you very very much, have an happy valentine day !

That should be a part of every teacher’s education! Polly was very dear to share it with you and thank you for sharing it with us.
Just loved yesterday’s photo!
This was so touching!
This is the beauty of successful homeschooling. What a great lesson-story. Thanks for sharing.
This is a wonderful little video. I think that traditional schools are on their way out and home school will be the way of the future….that would be so wonderful!
Happy Valentine’s Day a little late!

Oh my goodness! This is why we homeschool our little boy. The school spent so much time and energy trying to convince us and label him, they let an entire year slip by without nurturing his ability to read when none of the other children in the class could read. Oh, the sleepless nights of worry we had! Now we school at home and our days are filled with joy, discoveries and progress. Thank you for posting this little film. It really touched my heart.
