✨WEEK THREE ✨ Homeschooling is a team effort.

✨WEEK THREE ✨

Homeschooling is a team effort. We all - Mummy, Daddy & kids - have to do our bit, as frustrating as it is! G comes downstairs from work for an hours lunch break and either entertains the 3 year old, or helps to school the 5 year old so I can “get on” with something else for a short time.

Then 3pm comes; he’s clocking off from a days work, and clocking on to parenting, whilst I’m doing the opposite. Quick family dinner at 5.30 then back to work for me.

80% of the home schooling is done by me - my business is “flexible” in the way that I run my own businesses and set my own hours, so clocking on at 3pm or working Saturdays and Sundays works for us. We double up on lessons sometimes, and leave others for another day.

We’re all just figuring it out as we go along!

Don’t get me wrong, I long for the schools to be open again - when it’s safe, of course. But for now, this is our normal.

Juggle juggle juggle!

✨WEEK TWO✨

Here we go again - homeschooling week 2 begins.

Photo is not a visual representation of how last week went. It’s a snapshot of the energy that we went into the first day with. No photos of the tantrums, tears, shouting, “listen to the teacher” and general stress that the week brought.

But we tried, and that’s the main thing. Had a lovely message from the teachers acknowledging that we can’t do everything set, and to adapt the timetable to suit us (he’s generally more willing to learn in the morning, so we try to get it all done before lunch, depending on the difficulty of the work)

Definitely going to try to be kinder to myself this week. And shout less. 😬

I’ve had 6 hours sleep, a bowl of Shreddies, a cup of tea and a coffee - I’m ready. 💪

How did week 1 go for you? How’re you feeling about week 2?

Sending strength to everyone starting home learnin

Sending strength to everyone starting home learning today. We’re not trained teachers, we’re people trying to navigate our children’s education in a pandemic. Be kind to yourselves.

✨HELLO✨
Sometimes you just need to get out and have an espresso martini. It’s my tipple of choice, and I must say, Sushi Samba in Covent Garden do a cracking one!

This was part of a lovely day at the weekend with my cousin Sarah - meeting for lunch, chatting about everything and anything, then ending up staying out for dinner too. In a very socially distant, mask-wearing, hand sanitising way of course. Having a bit of normality (and a break from watching the news) was much needed.

Freddie has to take his own pencil case in to school next week (because of COVID) and I thought it would be nice to get a personalised one. Thank you @doodlesticky for coming to the rescue - super quick delivery!! It’s all filled up and ready to go for next week. 😍

Having a socially distanced catch up with @katie.j

Having a socially distanced catch up with @katie.jayne.90 and @kcattermole81 was a joy today. Getting out of the house was a joy! Hard to believe that 12 months ago to the day we were singing our little hearts out to Spice Girls at Wembley.

The urge to hug them both was strong. We’re a very tactile family, and it goes against every instinct to keep away from the ones you love. But just seeing them, and having a laugh gave me the boost I needed to start a new lockdown week as business owner/mum/wife/teacher (and not necessarily in that order!) #mumslife #ukmummy #motherhood #motherhoodthroughInstagram #ukparentblogger #pblogger #parentblogger #ukparentbloggers #motherofboys #snaphappybritmums #30plusblogger #socialdistancepicnic #proseccoinapandemic

I definitely agree with Laura on this one - I’ve certainly noticed the kindness in others. Our local Facebook community group exploded with offers of help and general kindness when lockdown began. The waves and smiles on a Thursday at 8pm, and the small-talk chats after.

Be Kind....if nothing else. X when this first started I noticed a huge difference in the way the we all behaved towards each other. People seemed more sincere and we all became more aware of each other. People were saying hello (with a knowing nod and smile) However awful this situation is for once we are ALL experiencing the same thing. We're staying in, 'being alert' and being safe. Whilst we are all missing our friends and family, I've noticed my local community become closer and were all being more mindful and kinder to one another. It's a beautiful thing to be part of and so good for your mind. #bekind #staysafe #stayathome #kindnessiskey #diddiandmo #covid19 #communitylove #stayalert #kind #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessweek #boldflorals #bekindtoyourmind

@katie.jayne.90 - I feel an overwhelming need to recreate this photo from 30(!) years ago. So, when lockdown is over and I can finally cuddle you again - are you up for it?? #mumslife #ukmummy #mummyblogger #mumsofinstagram #motherhood #motherhoodthroughInstagram #ukparentblogger #pblogger #parentblogger #ukparentbloggers #motherofboys #snaphappybritmums #30plusblogger

I’m not saying that I took the family Easter Bonnet competition seriously, but... Happy Easter everyone!

Freddie had a video call with some of his reception class yesterday. As you’d expect with a group of 4 & 5 year olds, it was CHAOS. 15 kids trying to talk over each other (whilst parents tried to keep some sense of order) was a bit much! He just kept smiling and getting toys to show everyone.

Technology is definitely keeping us all sane at the moment! Are you using Zoom/Skype/FaceTime to keep in touch?

It’s been a tough week for these guys. Their routines have been turned upside down, and it’s down to me to try and be the constant in their lives.

They hear the news, the chat between me and Graham about how we’re going to cope with the loss of income, and a new way of living. You just don’t know what goes on in their heads, and how they’re processing things. Fred has definitely been a lot more cuddly this week. Luckily, he hasn’t been too resistant to keeping his schoolwork up - he loves numbers, and reading, so we’re focusing on that. We even have a behaviour chart up that’s the same as the one they have at school (see stories). Yes there have been tantrums (plenty), tears (mine and theirs) and lots of trial and error when it comes to keeping at least some of their learning going. But we’ll get through it together, as a family. And - hopefully - they’ll have a strengthened bond by the end of it all.

Lots of love to all of you learning this new way of living. Xx

Posted @withregram • @emilycoxhead Please, just be kind. 😣💔 Absolutely heartbreaking news about Caroline Flack. I’d say I can’t believe it but sadly, I can. No one person should ever have to deal with the kind of onslaught of abuse from every angle that she received. The press and trolls on social media needs a fucking massive shift. I don’t know how many people need to take their own life for something to change but things can’t carry on this way. The way people prey on anyone on here/in the press but especially those so vulnerable is just sickening. My thoughts are with Caroline’s family and friends, I can’t imagine what they’re going through right now.
