Now to tackle the enormous mess

Thanks so much for inviting me to be part of the Blog Hop - it was much fun! I've enjoyed sneaking a peak into yours and other's homeschool lives!
It always feels as though you are playing catch-up when you homeschool though - your children are waiting on you to provide the next activity! But I wouldn't change it for the world at the moment (I may change my mind later)
I absolutely love these kind of posts! Thanks so much for sharing your day with us. I loved the part about keeping the laundry running! ~Liesl
What a lovely flow to your day. Love the natural flow between formal learning and playing:) Ah yes, my days have finally run better since I learnt to use the answering machine. This week I broke my rule and answered just before starting, bad move.
