Taking Stock | January 2018

Summer holidays really are the best time of the year. We’ve had Christmas at the farm with all my family, followed by a week up the coast with them again. Now we are home and enjoying some downtime. I’ve had some breathing space which has got my brain ticking over with lots of different ideas…

Things I Like | September 2017

Yay for school holidays – and not a minute too soon. Every year teaching seems to take more and more of my energy, and the holidays are so needed. That’s not to say that I’ve not got work to do over the holidays. Between marking, planning, and catching up on whatever I didn’t get finished…

Taking Stock | February 2017

We’ve been back at school for almost 3weeks now. Toby and Meg have been doing swimming lessons every day, while Hannah has been settling into a rhythm for high school. She commutes with me most mornings and catches the bus home in the afternoon. After decreeing that 2017 was the year to get intentional about…

Taking Stock | July 2016

Taking Stock | January 2016

January really is my favourite month of the year. It is almost as if it doesn’t really count in the year, because we are on holidays, and spend our time reading, creating, and with family. Of course the last few days of January come like a rude shock as we try to get ourselves back…

Taking Stock: November 2015

My goodness the year is winding up quickly. End of year reports are almost due for work, and of course, there is way too much to do, and not enough time to do it! Despite the busyness, I love this time of year – the warm weather, and the excitement of the impending Christmas season….
