Pad See-Ew

I would love to brag that we made this bowl of deliciousness, but that would be a lie.

Lincoln went to Nanna’s for a sleep over and Liam was working and so I took my girl to dinner.

What an absolute delight she is. 💗

She wore her new tie dye dress (the one she dyed herself), & sat there like an angel face chatting away with me and every now and then throwing her tiny arms around me and smiling right into my heart. 🥰

I was love struck.

When she finished, she jumped up and gave me a fish tail braid in the middle of the restaurant. (Because you can do that when you’re 8).

Her chatter continued…

“Lets go to the movies and get one of their lolly bags and then go to Aldi and get the coconut vanilla ice cream, then we’ll go home and get all the pillows and watch movies together!” She squealed at the end and scrunched her nose.

Sigh. I mean honestly, how can you say no to that?

She was in heaven having me all to herself!

So, we went home and did exactly that.

Dad came home and she snuggled in between us both, with the all the pillows and smiled the whole way through the movie.

Where would we be with out this smiling, singing, happy little love bug?

Drunk with love.

Off to bed. x

(Recipe tomorrow, I promise).

This blog was inspired by the film Julie & Julia, starring Meryl Streep & Amy Adams.

Julie decides she will take her love of cooking to the next level by cooking every recipe in Julia Childs French cookbook, in one year! 500 & something fancy, technical recipes!! While working full time!

Julie writes a daily blog about her time in the kitchen for herself & other amateur cooks who may, or may not be, reading along. You gotta watch it (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/about/). Or read it here. (http://thehomeschoolyear.com/book)

I loved that she wrote every day. I loved hearing about her small everyday frustrations, with the recipes & with life. It really inspired me to throw myself into something.

The timing was perfect as we have just decided to homeschool our children as a lifestyle choice and I thought…Cool! A daily blog will be perfect!

There must be other families out there wondering if there’s another way to live? Another way to do ‘family life’?

If you’re here, then hello & welcome aboard! Please feel free to sit back & watch it all unfold. Put the kettle on & check in with us each night to see what went down and how we all got over the line. I’m sure we’ll find our rhythm, right?

Are you a homeschool family? If you’re watching the wheels fall off this thing, I’m open to your emails or comments any time. I would love them! I am very friendly, & I could use the help.

Ok, come hell or high water….I’m in. A daily blog, for 12 months. I’ll be right, here.

Kindly, Lisa x
