& still enjoying the challenge!

my kids love the social aspects of homeschooling – like on air lessons, clusters & minischools

but they’re not that keen on the day to day paperwork that has to be completed – which makes life challenging!

to be fair, Madi is reasonably independent & keen to get her work done

my boy on the other hand, would much rather be making a new cubby house or riding his motorbike than in the schoolroom!

so, when a project captures his interest & he surprises me with something like this … it makes my day!!

10 days in & a third of the way to developing this habit

some days have been easier than others

some days have been so bone jarringly ordinary, i’ve struggled to find something to photograph

its hard for me to let go of the need to capture a perfect photo & many of the things on my grateful list are intangible & hard to photograph KWIM?

i’m grateful that this project has encouraged me to pick up my camera every day

its helping me to slow down & be more aware & appreciative of the little things

& i’m still loving the polaroid action!

post a comment or a link if you’re playing along – i’d love to hear what’s making you feel grateful today!

with summer almost upon us, slushies are a popular afternoon treat – especially when they’re made with fizzy drink!

when i was growing up, i remember loving slushies – the sweet icy goodness, those brief cold headaches … do you remember them?

so i was excited to find out about these slushie mugs via one of taraW’s tweets & they’ve been a huge hit in our house!

you can read more about them here: http://www.glacierware.com/slushmug.htm

master B couldn’t help but ham it up – just a little – for the camera!
