I am officially reporting my own outrageous behavior here, because for all intents and grown up purposes I live by myself, and there is no-one responsible enough to police me. After six months of glorious dieting (five and a bit stone gone!!), tonight I went loopy and ate two big bowls of Scouse, 4 slices…
Oh my goodness me. If you buy only one book in February make it The Goddess Guide by Gisele Scanlon. From the scrumptiously tactile flocked cover to the beautifully illustrated magazine style pages inside and indeed the oh so very very desirably stylish info it contains, this is a book to die for. Treat yourself…
!Delicioso! Have your children join in the fun on baking day! It is such a wonderful way to spend some quality time together and a great way for them to learn a few “real life” skills. Whether they are cracking an egg, pouring the sugar, or mixing in the chocolate chips, your child will feel…
So there you are standing in Borders with a wailing child and a heavy heart when you notice that there is a really rather good looking man following you around the Self-Help section. You ignore him and chatter on in a really rather nutty fashion to a child going off his little head listening to…
I am under house arrest. Locked, by the sheer force of Marks will to have me better, in my sweet smelling bedroom. So Wednesday I went to hospital to have my ears hoovered (I do so like to keep these things spick and span) only to find myself promptly send packing due to a high…
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 !

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.
