As a family, we’ll be entering our tenth year of homeschooling come September!Homeschooling for us changes how it looks through the year.

We’re a family of book lovers. G and I have always loved to read, and I’m so glad we’ve passed that love on to our kiddos. People who visit our home often comment on how many books we have {and that’s after a huge cull last year!}. I can remember once, when one of the...

25 Rainy Day Activities

April 14, 2016

Living in Wales we’re used to lots of rainy days. While sometimes we don’t have a choice but to go out and about, and some days we don’t mind going out in the rain, there are plenty of days when we want to stay home and keep dry. If you have got toddlers or pre-schoolers...
