Home Ed Diary: September '22
Home Ed Diary: September ’22
Another September, another fresh academic year for school children – and also for us. We tend to take a break over the summer as our eldest son is on his school summer break, as are some of the boys’ friends, but since we have always largely unschooled it hasn’t ever made a massive difference to our plans until this year. This year we’re taking a more structured approach to home ed. I’m not…

What are the Best Interior Design Trends for a Home Office?
What are the Best Interior Design Trends for a Home Office?
One of the lasting consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic has been home working – or at least, hybrid working. This involves spending a portion of the working week at home, a practice that we’re still getting used to, and one where there’s still some disagreement over whether it’s really worthwhile . Sure, you might spend less on fuel, but you’ll also spend more on heating and electricity. If…

Home Education Plan: Non-Core Subjects for January
I recently covered our plans for core subject material and this post is to detail basically everything else we’ll be doing this month. The boys obviously work at completely different levels and so their work will differ, but largely they will cover the same topics. Geography RE History PSHE/Citizenship PE IT Art

Home Education Plans for April
Home Education Plans for April
Well, nobody actually believed I’d show up every single month on here did they? Alright, I had planned to but you know how it goes. It’s New Year, then January, then April! I would say I’ll try harder but to be frank, that’s completely unnecessary pressure and nobody needs that. Ive backed off with the formal learning these last few weeks and we’ve just been learning through everyday life. I…

Home Education Plan: Core Subjects for W/C 3rd January 2022
As I said in yesterday’s post I’m planning to be a little more structured with the boys’ education this year. We’ve tried all kinds of different schedules, timetables, planners… nothing has worked properly so far. But this year would be Robot’s first year in high school so it’s time to look towards qualifications and/or plans for the future. With that in mind, I’ve put together a timetable to…

Pivot
A change of direction Here I am at the start of another year, hoping to write more than one blog post in the next twelve months. I think that my life has changed direction and purpose so much over the last few years that this blog wasn’t serving any sort of purpose any more. It wasn’t bringing me any sort of joy of entertainment and had become nothing more than a chore. But that doesn’t mean I…

Why Do You Need To Stop Shaving Your Body Hair And Adopt Laser Hair Removal?
Why Do You Need To Stop Shaving Your Body Hair And Adopt Laser Hair Removal?
Countless reasons make laser body hair treatment the ‘go-to’ solution for both women and men when they are looking for a permanent way to rid their bodies of hair instead of shaving it off when they take a shower. The following sections will shed light on why laser treatment is better than shaving skin hair:- No More Skin Infections Shaving leaves your skin with microscopic scratches that often…

11 Frugal changes you can start making TODAY
11 Frugal changes you can start making TODAY
One of the things I’d like to do this year is to live a little more frugally. After taking even the briefest look at our household finances it’s obvious that we have found ourselves in a situation where far too much money is being wasted on unimportant luxuries. Lockdown taught us to appreciate the simpler things in life, but are we ready to let go of the extras? I decided to make small but…

Elvis comes to play!
Elvis comes to play!
We haven’t blogged in a while. A Long while. I kept wanting to return to blogging but there just never seemed to be the time, or I didn’t have the right photo, or… well there was always something. Then I was invited to team up with Design Bundles who sent EJ and I some brilliant Elf on the Shelf activities, all packaged up and ready to go! EJ is four now, which is the perfect age to really start…

Game idea: number recognition to 20
Game idea: number recognition to 20
This is a really quick post about today’s invitation to play. I prepared this for my car-mad three year old and I think it’ll be one we revisit a fair few times until we crack our number recognition to 20. We’re doing well so far and have got 1-10 sorted, so hopefully it won’t take EJ long to pick up the rest.
As part of our home education resources, I subscribe to a website called Mrs. Mactivity

[AD: Review] Santa’s Grotto at Chill Factore
My youngest son EJ turned 3 a few months ago, and this is the first year he’ll really begin to understand the magic of Christmas. Visiting Santa’s Grotto is something that is part of our Christmas celebrations, and this year we started early when we popped in to meet the big man himself at Chill Factore in Manchester.
The grotto experience at Chill Factore starts with meeting some of the elves,…

Hiring a boat on Lake Windermere
Hiring a boat on Lake Windermere
One of my favourite things to do in the Lakes is to hire a boat on Windermere. We haven’t been for around five years so when we visited as part of our camping holiday in the Lakesthis year it was a definite on the activities list. There are two main tourist points around Windermere. Bowness-on-Windermere, where we hired the boat, and Ambleside. Both are beautiful places to visit and if you have…

Just So Festival Review 2019
We have been fans of the Just So Festival for a few years now and have reviewed it before on the blog. This year we were excited to go again, but sadly illness prevented us from being able to attend. I was lucky enough to have the support of the family behind Trip Ups and Trips Out, who were able to go on our behalf. Thank you so much to Shamaila and her family for coming to my rescue!

Educational Resource Review: Hape Flexistix Eiffel Tower
Educational Resource Review: Hape Flexistix Eiffel Tower
*Sent for review*
When I’m looking at activities for the boys to do, my first thought is often whether or not it’s educational. There no denying that Hape’s Flexistix meet that criteria so I was very pleased when they asked us to review the Eiffel Tower set.
Flexistix are made from bamboo, which is more eco friendly than plastic, making them better for the environment and harder to snap by…

Thompson Park, Burnley
Sunday is the day to visit Thompson Park in Burnley if you want to spend a couple of hours having some real quality family time together.
Although we visited on a Sunday in August and it was quite busy, it wasn’t so crowded that we couldn’t access the facilities.
I’d seen a page on Facebook called The Boathouse and had been following it for a while. They hire out rowing boats and canoes for just…
