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…

Frosty Morning
My goodness, it’s been cold here lately. Tucked up nice and warm in our farmhouse we have managed to avoid most of the chill, but it is still there when we venture outside. On Sunday morning we woke (not very early – it was still school holidays) to find the ground and trees completely white….
Pause

One Thing: The Annual Photo Book
I’m on a #OneThing bent this year courtesy of BabyMac. A drive to get some of those extra things that I always think about doing when I’m in bed, or driving the car. The week before school went back, it was all about the photo book. I’ve talked about how we do photobooks before, but…
Around The Farm | Summer 2016
