Sharing Family Life and Travel
Our 4 Freckled Faces are all at different ages and abilities, which is making 'Crisis Schooling' a little tricky in these COVID19 Lockdown times. I'm sure this is the case for lots of you too, right? I have been setting them challenges that they can all do to the best of their own abilities, but [...]
I know some of you may be thinking 'Oh good, another post about the coronavirus!' I totally get that! However, we wanted to share some of our experiences and the activities we have done so far to help us get through it. You may or may not be looking for ideas, and everyone is different [...]
When I make activities up for the kids, I try to do the same activity but vary the difficulty for the different abilities. I don't want to make extra work for myself....but at the same time I don't want to give my kids an easy life - after all, they don't give me one! I [...]

We spent our last day of 2018 at Delamere Forest in Cheshire, England. We've not been there for a while, but always enjoy being there. It has a path so you can take buggys, bikes, etc. There are picnic benches by the car park and in the forest. You have to pay for parking and [...]
A few members if my extended family work in education. With that comes lots of stress and paperwork ....but also lots of moments of fun and creativity! I wanted to share with you the fun Christmas door decoration that one of my cousins and the rest of the team did! The kids in her class [...]
We love a good Christmas book! The kids get a new one (....or two or three....or more....don't judge me!) every year. Recently we were asked to review 2 Christmas Books from Owlet Press. The kids were so excited, as was I! Here's what we thought of them. 'SANTA'S WISH' This book has such a lovely [...]
