This week was half term. The major difference from the umpteen weeks that preceded it? No school work arrived, so there was no tension about it not getting appropriate attention… and with our glorious new routine it meant that I got a lot done. So much more than I’d expected to, but my new “Done […]

Captain’s Log – Week 9 – Mission Report
Heading into our third month at home together, and we are in a pretty happy rhythm 🙂 The new routine is working well, and I feel so good all day when I’ve achieved something before breakfast. Tilly earned her first reward for playing her part, and is keen to know how long it will be […]
Captain’s Log – Week 7 – Mission Report
May the Fourth be with you! This week began, of course, with Star Wars Day. We celebrated by wearing Star Wars T shirts, having a light sabre fight, watching Star Wars movies… and making Star Wars gingerbread 🙂 Thus far, we have watched Episodes I, II, III, then Solo, followed by Episodes IV, V, VI […]
Captain’s Log – Week 6 – Mission Report
Despite having only made ANZAC Biscuits on Saturday, we started our week baking a cake. Partly because in theory Monday is baking day, but mostly because it was my BFF’s birthday. None of the other photos will cooperate and appear the right way up, so you’ll just have to trust me that Tils was heavily […]
Captain’s Log – Week Five – Mission Report
Week Five… I sat down last Sunday evening to write my week 5 mission report and was beset with tech issues. The combination of my brain melting by 9pm, only getting Tils into bed at 8.30 and then my phone point blank refusing to talk to my computer for the entire hour and a half […]
Finding the Ground
Something wonderful happened this week. I found the ground again. WTF? Well I’ve been in this kind of floaty limbo since the schools closed on the 20th March and I’ve not been feeling entirely myself as a result. My creative flow has been absent. My productivity has been absent. My drive has been absent. The […]
Captain’s Log – Week Four – Mission Report
Yup, four whole weeks of me and my mini-me at home together, just the two of us – cue Bill Withers, or Will Smith, they’re both good… and we’re both still alive and still friends. Getting back into home school has been a challenge after two and half weeks of “Easter Holidays”, but we got […]
Captain’s Log – Week Three – Mission Report
Coming to you on International Eat Chocolate Until You May Throw Up Day… Happy Easter! I felt like Kylo Ren meeting his grandpa this morning when Tils passed me her half eaten chocolate stormtrooper mask. I cracked the joke then promptly ate a bit of his jaw. Sorry, not sorry! This week has been great. […]
