I have always been tempted to start some kind of scrapbook but had never really been attracted to the amount of fuss that goes along with it so when a blogger I follow, Elise Blaha Cripe, started sharing her Project Life spreads, I was intrigued. The system, developed by Becky Higgins, uses plastic wallets which… Continue reading Starting Project Life

In Summer
Term has ended and if we weren't about to move out of our house and be homeless for 4 months, I'd be so excessively chill right now but as it is we have a LOT to do before Friday morning. It's a strange feeling to be moving without our house being ready (built!) and because… Continue reading In Summer
37 Things – 1 Month Left
Of my 37 things, I have 12 still to complete: Read 50 books in a year 12 months - I've read 33 books since my last birthday so far meaning I have to read 17 in one month... I am not sure I will manage this one! Re-watch the whole of Lost - almost complete. I… Continue reading 37 Things – 1 Month Left
Terrible Limbo
Probably one of the most uncomfortable situations for me to be in is limbo. The not knowing, the uncertainty, the lack of control, it unravels me. Lately, I have been in a constant state of very low-level anxiety. It bubbles away and I don't really know it's there until something flares up and suddenly, I'm not coping… Continue reading Terrible Limbo

Breakfast for dinner
5 things I have learned about being a teacher (and about myself)
You like the kids more than they like you You will care more about the kids' grades than they will You can't be a perfectionist (luckily I'm not) You have to be able to take criticism (unfortunately I can't) I am rubbish at being a novice
My Weird Hobby
Most people spend their time doing productive things or worthwhile things on the internet like Reddit or cats or memes. I like to fawn over pretty china I'm never going to buy. These are some of my favourites. Cornishware - we already have this but it's so expensive and we need more! Cath Kidston Mushrooms… Continue reading My Weird Hobby
Pressure
Since this month's NaBloPoMo theme is 'pressure', I thought I ought to write about it at least once this month and yet every day that I have come to write something I have felt reluctant. Maybe this is because 'pressure' is such a negative word and my word for 2014, as you know, is Positivity.… Continue reading Pressure
