About

I recently took the plunge and decided to home educate my 8 year old son T. This blog will document our daunting but exciting journey!

T loves making videos - he records / edits them on a Samsung using DU Recorder to film gameplay and edit bits out and taught himself! If any of you are interested in looking / have kids wanting to film / edit (with ease!) the link to his channel (teoblocksgaming) can be found on the blog (in bio). #8yearsold #homeed #homeeducating #digitalkids #youtube #minecraft #kidfilmmakers #kidslearning #homeeducation #gaming #samsung #selftaught
This weekend has been about spending time with family after our week away. Here is T with his favourite person (apart from our dog!) his 2 year old cousin, he treats her like a sister awww 💛
I think this photo of T from our holiday to Dorset last Summer is pretty apt regarding our 2019 decisions...🤗 #takingtheplunge #homeed #homeeducation #homeschoolersofinstagram #justdoit #dorset #dorsetwaterpark #corfecastle #8yearsold
Photos taken by T today - he's got a thing about zooming in on faces! 🐶🌳🦆 #photos #8yearsold #kidsphotos #samsungcamera #dogwalk #homeed #homeeducation

I've set up Facebook & Pinterest to help the blogs reach - if any of you use them, please come visit so I can add you there too! I was reluctant to use Facebook but as Instagram set up the account for me (!?!) I thought I'd give it a go - I'm thinking it will be a handy way to share blog posts? Still getting to grips with Twitter... #allhomeschoolerswelcome #homeschoolersofinstagram #homeschoolers #childhoodunplugged #montessori #montessoriathome  #unschoolers  #homeschoolroom #homeschoolmom #homeschoolfamily #homeschoolingideas #homeschoolers #homeschooling #homeed #homeeducation #homeschoolmoms #homeschoollife #homeed #homeeduk #homeeducating #homeeducation #deschooling #newblog #blogging
This was the first thing on Ts mind this morning, learning how to use Photoshop to create some action figures / characters for one of his stories that he started a while back. He's going to try and animate it too so that the arms move 👍 WHAT ON EARTH WAS I SO WORRIED ABOUT YESTERDAY 🙈 #homeeducating #homeeducation #photoshop #kidslearning #homeeduk #animation #8yearsold
New blog post - link in bio 👆 Thank you to @fitinwiththechaos @graceoverperfectionacademy @home_educating_es & @homeschoolingqueen for silencing the guilt queen! 💛 #blog #homeschoolmoms #homeeducation #newblogger #parenting #mumguilt
I've very recently started playing Squash (since last Sunday!) so was very excited when I found out there were squash courts here! I asked T if he wanted to have a go, he was up for it so we went today. 10 minutes in he wasn't happy at all, he was getting frustrated every time he was unable to hit the ball, and no amount of encouragement from me or him witnessing me sucking at squash (I'm determined to get good at it!) was working. I've noticed that if he can't do something the first time, he wants to give up... I have to be honest here, I have no idea what to do when I see him struggling like this I always worry that its due to low confidence and the mum guilt makes me worry that I am part of the problem and that I've caused him to have low self esteem... or maybe I just over analyse things and it's simply just something he has to develop / work through in his own time, and that its me that needs to let go of any expectations?! Answers on a postcard please! #parenting #homeed #8yearsold #lackofconfidence #homeeducation #homeeduk
We had a joint archery lesson today, I thought I was winning but totally got beat (T was 80 points up!) - there is a new blog post up if you fancy reading (link in bio) it's taken me ages to upload as free WiFi @ribbyhallvillage is poop! 🙈🌳#homeeducating #homeed #familyfun #shortbreak #ukfamilyholiday #homeeducation #dayoutwithkids
