Hi hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and new year. Ours was lovely though hectic, we're rearranging our downstairs at the moment, turning one room into two to create an office and a school room and create a bedroom for our eldest dd - we have 4 children sleeping in one room at the moment.

It's hard work trying to find time to sort it all out and still find time to fit some schooling in, we're being pretty laid back at the moment, just working on the basics, though my eldest dd who's nearly 7 has finally started understanding begining sounds and is finally remembering her letters. I do firmly believe in the better late than early approach but it's very hard when your eldest is not ready til "late" and all her school going peers are already reading and people are thnking you are not teaching them enough, I am just praying that it will pay off as she gets older and will prove my chioce was right in not rushing her.
