Before this week I would have written that I liked essentially everything about six weeks on, one week off routine. I found something I don’t like: the first week back. It is surprising how quickly good habits about doing lessons can go by the wayside with one week off. The week wasn’t terrible by any…
Our off week was eventful. Sunday the children got to go sledding. Only Monday did we stay home very much which gave me a chance to blog about how our first half-term of AmblesideOnline went. We had some big tents built. M-girl both cooked dinner and blogged about it. We had doctor and dentist appointments;…

A refreshed and renewed look for our Weekly Reports, Our Weekly Amble will be an opportunity to consider how we’ve shared with our children as we’ve walked along the way, how our Ambleside studies have fared, to look back as we consider the pathway we tread. Our week started out quite well. We accomplished all…
