homeschooling

heytherefancypants — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 20:57:42 +0000

I have decieded to homeschool my two youngest boys, one is 9 and the other 10. We started last week and so far it is going great, we are all more relaxed and the boys seem happier. The approach we are taking is a laid back one focusing on themes the boys enjoy, at the moment it is the rainforest and animals with some maths, art and geography thrown in. I wondered if there are any other mums or dads that are homeschooling here in the U.K and any ideas, tips or comments about it, please share it would be nice to know im not the only one!

My happy day

Yippee! i am so happy, it’s a great week. Firstly i found my best friend from high school, Cathy on myspace, who i have not seen for 17 years!. I had a big grin on my face for the whole day when i got a reply from her. We seem just as silly together as we used to.

The second great thing is i recieved my cabbages and roses catalogue, oh my!! I had to share, it came in this folder thick brown card, i was impressed!

It opens out to reveal these pictures are individual thick paper, with fabulous, dreamy photos of the collection, on the other side is snippets of info and item descriptions. On the back of the fashion section each card is a postcard – what a great idea

i just adore these pictures, there the kind of thing you could pour over with a nice cup of tea and slice of home-made cake!

corners of my home

if you are like me, i love nothing better than having a peek at someone else’s house, just out of curiosity, so i wanted my first post to be little bits of my home.

i love my vintage kitchen and am always on the look out for original stuff.

my living room, i painted the woman pic, it’s called kitschy pink pop, you can buy the print at redbubble

i love mixing things up, new with old, modern with vintage. Each room is different and i love that, someone once said ” you know you love your home, when you cant decide which room you love best is”, that is so true.

This is my sewing corner, its a good spot to sit

i can see all the goings on!. Need more boxes for storage though, all those little sequins and beads never find a home!
