Hello! Welcome to my blog. I'm an erratic blogger - sometimes I write loads and sometimes I disappear for days on end. I write about anything that comes to mind - sometimes about life, sometimes about marriage, sometimes about homeschool. I'm recovering from bad experiences in the past and trying to find peace with myself and, although I spend little time on the computer these days, this blog will serve as a journal for my thoughts. I have no comments because I need no-one's opinion on my life - mine is the only opinion that counts.

A little about me

I'm married to Tim (beautiful musician and delivery driver), we have 2 daughters whom we home educate, live on the south coast of the UK and have 2 aging cats (Mo-mo and Hemmingway). I love reading, crafts, teaching my children and finding the beautiful in things. I have a love of Japanese culture, homes and decor. I have recently rediscovered life away from the computer and am starting to rediscover ..... me.

I'm honoured

"The "Arte y Pico" award was created/made to be given out to bloggers who inspire others with their creative energy and their works, whether it be writing, artwork or more. When one receives this award it is considered a "special honor". Once you receive this award, you are to pass it on to at least 5 others. For more info on this wonderful award, where it originated, please visit Arte y pico at their blog. ( I couldn't think of a better way to describe this award so I just used what Nats wrote which originally came from Auntiebunny )"

I am the very proud recipient of this award, given to me by my wonderful friend Natalie. Looking at some of the other people that have been awarded it, I feel totally unworthy (especially given that this reincarnation of my blog is so very, very new) but amazingly happy!

I'm considering who to pass it on to ... there are so many that I think deserve it so I'm giving it some serious thought.

PS - thanks Nats for my pressie which arrived in the post this morning - It was incredibly thoughtful of you :)

EDITED:

I've given this thought .... here are my 5 choices. Some of the writers of these blogs might not even know I exist but I wanted to send the award to them because they have all, at some point, totally inspired me and/or amazed me with their creativity :)

Stephanie - such a wonderful, informative blog and such a wonderful, warm human being.

Caroline - fab lapbooks she makes with her kids :)

Maricar - WONDERFUL homemaking hints and tips - I linked to her waaaay back on my old blog and still adore her site now.

Amanda - gorgeous crafts, gorgeous blog

Merry - 4 kids, own business, fab blog - I'm not sure how she does it frankly ;) Inspired me from the time I started home edding.
