Oh Nicola, you are all missed down here. So nice to spend the day with you all via this beautiful post. And yes, we went through a hardcore Rainbow Magic phase 🧚‍♂️ The Secret Seven is waiting for us at the library to collect too! Hoping to one day soon sit under that glorious mango tree with you xx

Thank you Catherine for sharing 💛

I appreciate how you explore the balance between letting your kids play and moving forward with getting schoolwork done. This is such a delicate dance with elementary-aged kids! I just started homeschooling my 3 and 5 year olds this year and am working this out day by day.

This was delightful. I like the descriptions of the dance between the needs of the different children.
