Spring is HERE! Oh man how we have missed the sunshine here in England. My kids, now 3 and 7, are so so so ready for the sunshine. What a difference the sun makes. Our moods have all lifted and there is

Chalk drawings - freedom to express yourself on Halloween Today we enjoyed a relaxing walk along the canal to our favourite home ed group meet up. Tayler found a pond skater insect on the calm canal water

We now have a wormery! The wormery was very easy and even my youngest (almost 2) could help. We got a large glass jar (it may or my not resemble a well known chocolate spread jar), filled it with soil,

@homeedders set a challenge in this post So here is my response.... My eldest is 5. He would have started his second year at school at the beginning of September, however we home educate, or rather, unschool.

I’ve been on this platform since May 2018... Life with two kids can be manic. Brilliant things come and go and time passes by in the blink of an eye and things happen that you can miss. Well during my

Family time in the sun. We’re now just over halfway through our Italian break so I thought I should share a few photos of our time here. The photo of Tayler in the top left is showing his ‘all natural’

After ages of wanting to go cycling with the kids, we’ve finally done it! We have not space to store bikes at ours (other than the kids diddy ones) so my dad has been keeping them in his garage with his

Today has been sunny and warm! We walked to our local park today to meet up with friends and play. On the walk there and back, I carried our youngest in the sling so this workout was extra mum-style! We

Today could have been better! It started ok, though taking the family to the dentist isn’t the most fun. We went to see my father-in-law after, for lunch. That was pretty great. Followed by a trip to our

Today has been a super busy day! It started out with me and Willow (1 year old) watching the local cats and birds do their thing. A cat was sat in a tree while a couple of magpies squawked at it! Two other

Today has been a cleaning the house day! With two kids and a busy life, the house was very messy, so it took all afternoon. Mostly tidying the toys (how do they get EVERYWHERE!) and dusting and hoovering.

Some of you may know that I’ve started using @actifit to post my Fitbit active steps. I found out about them from my husband who then entered a competition run by @coruscate and @anomadsoul as part of

My latest actifit report. I took another walk but this time I took a friend and our kids. We saw these flowers and also a heron! 5377 Walking

It’s been a busy few weeks and I’ve not been well and the kids haven’t been well either! It’s been tough. So today my husband @ashtv encouraged (forced) me to get outside. It was just what I needed (he

This is my first time posting via @actifit but I’ve had the app a few days. @ashtv hats encouraged me to post with his video about actifit. I didn’t know skateboarding would be on a list of exercises!

A mum can be anything and everything to her kids and, in our house, one of the many things I am is... The Fixer! Broken play swords, stuck zips, broken toys, and now, socks! Now I would normally just throw

Why wear two socks or no socks when you can wear one?! His regular fashion statement. Not going to squash that statement. He’s free.

Yesterday we went to a forest school that we’ve never been before. We went with a couple of friends and it was awesome! They did firelighting, marshmallow toasting, a game called ‘floor is lava’, dragon

We’ve had fun with playdough for a few days in a row. Tayler enjoyed making a snail and deconstructed it. Willow enjoyed seeing what lots of tools could do and she also liked squashing anything I made!
