Howdy Peeps! Long time, no see (sorry, my bad). I hope you're all safe and well? This last week's been kinda crazy... I've written about 8000 words on 2 different topics since we last spoke, so forgive my fried brain if this is all waffle. In between the normal stuff; the usual food shop, cooking, [...]
Howdy Peeps! Happy 'Talk Like a pirate' day! Aaarrr! Anyone else singing 'start of something new' from High School Musical? No? Just me then... Today is my first day of my Master's Degree! I'm excited, nervous, my head is full of a hundred things (included being slightly paranoid about getting lost or being locked in [...]
Happy Fri-yay Peeps! I've been busy preparing for my Master's degree starting next week! 😱 While I sit at the computer reading (for what has seemed like days) I put YouTube on (as I often do..in fact it's on Crafty Girl now as I type... huge bonus of a dual-screen setup). I have been watching [...]
Hi-de-hi Peeps! First thing: I've been watching Designated Survivor on Netflix and am loving it... will review when I finish it. (Which won't be long!) Second thing... you know I said my baby is nearly an adult, well I was thinking of making playlists of songs for her special birthdays/driving/special events...perhaps with YouTube music videos, [...]
Howdy Peeps! Are you or someone you know off to further education after the summer? I'm sure you've heard me rave about Cheap Crafty Girl before (if not, you will) as I love her YouTube videos. I found her originally because she does amazing planner spreads, but she also does haul videos. Well her daughter [...]
Hello Saturday Peeps! Happy 1st day of June! 😊 June is a busy month here: Today we have the 1st of 2 weddings we have been invited to this month and it's the start of the D-day celebrations (on all week here in Bude). We also have a neighbour's 50th, a baby due in the [...]
Helloooo Saturday Peeps! I had a lovely long chat with my daughter last night (seriously, it was like 1am!). She's trying to organise her life because she has a lot more going on now. So I thought I'd share with y'all what we talked about regarding time management for students. Prioritise: What's most important? What [...]
G'day Friday Peeps! It's hard not to turn into the pushy, over-competitive Mum. Especially when it comes to learning because that's my thing. My daughter is currently in the middle of Mid-Term exams (and is largely unimpressed with the whole thing, like every other pupil I've spoken to!). I have been reminding her to study [...]
Morning Peeps! I always want to read more of my Bible; I want to know God better and feel it's right to do so, but in everyday life, time to sit and read is a rare thing. I start these big study guides or reading plans and never manage a month. Something stops me one [...]
Morning Peeps! I'm enjoying the holidays and think the teenager is too! The thing is that I'm often asked if pupils should work through the holidays. Parents want their kids to do the best they can, which is great...but we live in a society that puts tremendous pressure on children to achieve. Children will have [...]
