Home Grown Happiness: August 2012
http://homeedhorlers.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
The adventures of a home-educating, craft-loving, soul searching family! Thursday, 23 August 2012. In March this year my mother died. I wrote about her death and my loss in earlier blogs; about how hard it was at the time, and the realisation that I was affected more than I presumed I would be. I had to put aside some of my grieving due to midwifery commitments; when you are caring for a woman in labour, you need to hold the emotional space around her (see my midwifery blog. Emotions to fill this. Talkin...

The adventures of a home-educating, craft-loving, soul searching family! Sunday, 29 September 2013. From Hollywood. to Shepperton. Pretty Shepperton welcomed us back on Wednesday afternoon after a long night flight from LAX. Our journey was completed with a. As we settle back into normal home life and get ready for the autumn, it's hard to imagine that just a week ago we were hanging out in LA, swimming in the beautiful evening sun and enjoying the last few days of our American journey. At last - WiFi!

The adventures of a home-educating, craft-loving, soul searching family! Wednesday, 21 March 2012. May the sun shine again! I am however, starting to feel better, and am confident that there will be better times and sunny days ahead! They have / had no emotional attachment to my mum, so it's totally alien to them to feel upset. Poor boy (yes he was young enough to say that! Was totally scared by all the people looking up to him. On the way back from History club, we stopped at Mercedes-Benz World. Life h...

How do you approach Geography as a home educating parent? Ummm, if like me, you stick some maps of the world up and hope that will work then this book is perfect for you! The book has a strong Christian ethos throughout (but don't let this put you off if you are not religious); I have (with the support of th...

Chasing The Dish: Cake Bakery
http://chasingthedish.blogspot.com/2010/09/cake-bakery.html
Thursday, 16 September 2010. A few months ago, my very good friend Lillah asked me if I would make her daughter Daisy's first birthday cake. Before this, my experience (almost entirely documented in this blog) with cake bakery, let alone decoration was entirely elementary. I made the 12" bottom tier a lemon cake, drizzled with a lemon syrup, filled with lemon butter cream and raspberry jam. This was my first properly decorated cake, so I gave myself a couple of days to work on it. I used recipes from...

Chasing The Dish: The Prodigal Blogger
http://chasingthedish.blogspot.com/2010/08/prodigal-blogger.html
Thursday, 26 August 2010. I know. It's been a while. I'd love to tell you that I've been traveling the world, sampling exotic and fascinating foods off the beaten track and away from an internet connection, but that would be a big pork pie. The truth is, I lost my bloggy mojo for a bit there and to be honest, the longer I left it, the harder it got to come back. Bring on the sweat and sore back! Encouraged as always by my ever-supportive husband and proud parents and step-mum, I took the big step of enro...

Chasing The Dish: The Gardener's Treats.
http://chasingthedish.blogspot.com/2010/06/gardeners-treats.html
Friday, 4 June 2010. I don't know if many amateur veggie growers would say that growing your own is less expensive than buying the same veggies in the grocery store. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, (probably) but the amount of money that we've spent on gardening tools, lumber to build raised beds, fencing, compost, seeds and young plants would probably take a few years to make back in commercial value. Or the side shoots of adolescent asparagus spears. Just as we did last year, we're growing our potatoes in sa...

The adventures of a home-educating, craft-loving, soul searching family! Tuesday, 14 January 2014. Home ed book-shelf: Getting back to basics. I love the start of a New year; it's the time and opportunity to revisit and reflect on where you are at and where you are going. With that in mind, this selection of books is to re-inspire! Under Pressure: Putting the Child Back In Childhood. As the children talk and play and sing instead of being sucked into the vortex of cyber space. Loving it! And all that Jazz.

The adventures of a home-educating, craft-loving, soul searching family! Thursday, 31 January 2013. Life Cycles and some simple homeed science. This week and next week our learning theme is 'Life Cycles'; in order to cover all that we want to get through, I have made this week far more structured. How has this worked, I hear you ask? Secondly, I am totally behind on my own work as that also often gets priority, BUT. We have done loads, and I've enjoyed it - I think the children have too! I pre-ordered th...
