It is a busy season in life for us/me with 4 children at the age of 4months, 2yrs, 3 1/2yrs & 5 1/2yrs but not as busy as I was when I had a 3 1/2yr old, 1 1/2yr old & new baby. I often think oh that is blog-worthy, I want to remember that or I am triggered of an old memory I had forgotten.

Together we are attempting at buying a house (as in 3 1/2 weeks time) which will add a new dimension into our home school learning.
