Morning everyone! Apologies for the relative silence around here this week. It’s the first week of the holidays and I’m just trying to give my brain a little bit of resting time.

Summer holiday hopes
I always look forward to the summer holidays. Not because I don’t love my job (I do a lot), but because it’s the only time my brain truly manages to switch off from ‘teacher mode’ and goes into ‘Steph mode. It’s the only time of year I manage to be me for a bit. I … Continue reading Summer holiday hopes
The end of the year is upon us…
This has been the strangest way to end a year. As lots of you will know, last Wednesday I was sent into isolation because one of my girls tested positive.

Isolation… it’s not all fun and games
As I sit and write this it's day 5 of my isolation... and I'm gonna be honest, I'm really not having a barrel of laughs. I'm not struggling, but I am NOT flourishing. Let's take you back a bit... On Tuesday, I sent one of my children home to have a COVID test because she … Continue reading Isolation… it’s not all fun and games
