Day 156

29th July 2022

Farm Day

It’s official.

I’m run down and full of snot. 😩

No, it’s not Covid (I’m testing on the daily), just too many late nights. 😴😴😴

Can’t stop blowing my nose!!!

So, this will be a short one, so I can get to bed.

The kids had another great day at the farm.

They love playing sword fights in the corral. (Pic above).

Another favourite game is combat frisbee.

Basically, a game of tips through the forest or park with frisbees.

If you get hit with the frisbee, you’re out.

The person with the most frisbee’s wins.

Mila won today and was super happy about it.

They made hashbrowns & brownies. Played Mississippi, and held bunnies.

Mila told me all about it, while we lay in a bath of blue water, after she dropped in a bath bomb.

Listening to her tell me about the day is so sweet. She’s so animated and paints the story so well.

That’s about all I can manage.

Sport tomorrow, if I can make it out of bed.

The Challenge: Home school for 1 year while not losing sanity or love for children and/or husband.
Contenders: Mila 8yrs, Lincoln 10 yrs, Me (Mum), Liam (Dad), Pepe (dog)
Home School Days: 200

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
