Every year, every Autumn I used to make blackberry jam. However, after making a lots of jars of it, and it being only me that seemed to eat it, I gave up and made pies and crumbles. That is until this year. In June we went to my cousin’s lovely wedding. At the table every person had a pot of …
Adventures
With the arrival of our little lady’s Blue Peter Badge, and our move to Sweden edging closer, it got me thinking about places I’d like to explore with the children before we leave this country. We have done a lot with our trio, but we have a home education National Trust card and now a Blue Peter card, that I …
Planning Our Nature Curriculum.
As a family we pride ourselves with the lack of general clutter we accumulate. Our loft space just has empty boxes, suitcases, and decorations in, and our garage just has camping, gardening, and bikes etc in. So, with this move we didn’t feel that there would be too many trips to the tip. However, I am quickly coming to the …
Solar Ovens and Some…eerrrmmm….Painting!
Today we needed to have some light fun and a distraction from yesterday’s events, so I had a couple of things up my sleeve. First up was the last task that we had to do from Whizz Pop Bang, making a solar oven. Our little lady set to work with the instructions while I got down to some Mamma jobs. …
The Craft Fairy has Visited!!
Uh Oh, the craft fairy popped by for a visit!! When it’s on a mission, the supplies take over the world. Our little lady is currently on a mission to make all her old school friends little crafty gifts from her (so if you are one of their mummy’s, be prepared for a craft product invasion). This is her in …
Moving Update No.1
So, as previously mentioned we have now got a removal firm chosen. The biggest conundrum of all of this, has been what to live in and how to pay for it. Initially we were going to let our home in the UK, get a rental agreement in Sweden, and then when we were sure we hadn’t made a huge mistake, buy …
Crabbing :-)
Before I launch into what we’ve been up to today, I’ll give you a little update on how things are progressing for our big move. We have begun selling things off on eBay, like one of our toddler slides (of course there is another identical one in the garden too, but that’s heading back to Grandma’s), Dadda has whisked out …
Making Plans.
I have the hugest tick list of places to visit, that grew substantially longer once our little lady came out of school. When I came back from Sweden, I set about making one for the immediate surrounding area that we would be living in (as if I needed an extra reason to make another list!!). I thought I’d tackle a …
Our Home Education Journey will Continue.
We’ve made the decision to go to Sweden and grab the opportunity with everything we have, and the “to do lists” start to get longer!! In amongst all this are our three little people and what happens to their home education journey, does it just stop? NO!!!!! In an earlier blog I had mentioned about following “Exploring Nature with children”, …
Returning home :-)
We returned home today back to our gorgeous trio, who we had missed a lot, and who we wished we could have shown around too. We flew from Copenhagen at midday, having driven there from the south of Sweden, and were home by 1530hrs. We’d achieved a lot, got our priorities sorted, and were thoroughly pooped…although maybe not as much …
