BLOG TOUR: Ross Montgomery and Sarah Warburton

August 4, 2021August 4, 2021Leave a comment

Ten Delicious Teachers: a hilarious story of peril (don’t walk through the woods guys!) Ten very foolish teachers have missed the last bus home. But LOOK - a shortcut through the forest! They'll be back in time for tea! Off they skip, unaware that in the woods a hungry horde of mischievous and hilariously goofy … Continue reading BLOG TOUR: Ross Montgomery and Sarah Warburton

July 29, 20212 Comments

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

July 27, 2021July 27, 2021Leave a comment

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…

July 23, 2021July 23, 2021Leave a comment

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. I was absolutely heart broken, and, if I’m being real, my COVID related anxiety went out of the roof. (I’ve suffered pretty badly from COVID … Continue reading The end of the year is upon us…

Yesterday, I shared some of the books on my Summer TBR, and today, I'm back with some more books I'm HOPING to get through. I love the Summer holidays because it's a time I can just read and read.

Books on my Summer TBR: orange, blue, green edition

July 20, 2021July 18, 20212 Comments

One of my favourite things about the Summer holidays is the sheer amount of books I will read. Nothing makes me happier than reading in the Summer holidays. Some days I will do nothing BUT read, other times I'll just mosey along and take a few days over reading, but nothing makes me happier! I … Continue reading Books on my Summer TBR: orange, blue, green edition

Isolation… it’s not all fun and games

July 19, 2021July 18, 2021Leave a comment

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
