Years ago when I first started blogging, I had a little series of posts called ‘Charlotte Mason Monday’. Obviously, these posts were posted on a Monday 😉 and were about homeschooling using the Charlotte Mason methods. For most of our homeschooling journey, we have been completely Charlotte Mason inspired and it was something that I …
Picture Study is one of those things that you can include in your day that really does not take up a lot of time, but has a huge impact. It takes us all of 8 minutes once a week, yet years later my children are able to recognize works of art and remember who they …
Nature study, if you are not careful, can fall by the wayside (as can composer and artist study) in favor of exam subjects. If these things are important to you then you simply have to plan them into your homeschool week. There is no need to lose the joy of learning just because you are …
I have been pondering on some of the many aspects of our homeschool learning that we have enjoyed over the years. Nature Study has always played quite an important part in our learning home and has been instrumental in leading my eldest daughter into her chosen career field.

Gosh! It has been a while, hasn’t it? July has been a busy and exciting month but things seem to be getting back under control and I thought I’d love to pop in here for a little catch-up and natter. *Just a little warning…this is a photo-heavy post with lots of lovely snippets of Tuscany* …

It is a great citizen science project after we have spent an hour counting the birds that visit our feeder we log into the RSPB website …
…said the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and give you a hope and a future.” ~ Jeremiah 29:11Â I’ve been feeling like I have writer’s block and it is really annoying me! There is so much I want to do and share but each time I sit down here to blog, I find myself just …
The trees and shrubs in our garden are covered in lichens. Initially, I thought that it was harmful to the host plants but once I delved into lichens and learned a bit more about them instead of looking at them in dread I am very pleased indeed that we have them coating just about every …
Hello again my lovelies! This week we started back at our lessons so I thought that I would take you on a photo-tour of the planners we are using this year. I started our homeschooling years (The first five or six in fact) by making my own planner. I really enjoyed doing this because I …
