Inspirational blogs

It has been a while since I updated my links and looking at the page, before this update, they were certainly in need of some attention. Today, has been an odd day-in bed with laryngitis-but this might be within my current speechlessness. I am limiting myself to 2-3 in each section but plan to expand the links page beyond that.

UK Home educators

Pyjama School is the blog of a mother who home educates her two young children. She often has simple ideas that I have used. This post about cutting skills was something that we have copied.

Susanna is a friend and recent home educator who blogs at The berry bush.

Under an English sky-I especially enjoy for the posts about nature study in the UK.

Other Home educators
Se7en is a South Africa site and such a find. I don't know how the Mother Person finds so much energy but there are so many ideas here. Worth a look both for home educators and others wanting out-of-school ideas for their children.

Not a blog but a website, From wonder..to wisdom has a wealth of ideas and thoughts for home educators. I found the language section particularly helpful.

Thinking kids is a recent find. I love the book lists and most of the posts provide food for thought.

Christian but not relating to home education
Caroline is a UK home educator but the aim of her blog is to "Encourage, and share, with other like-minded ladies who wish to honour the Lord in their role as wife and mother.


On Eagle's wings is written by Christian lady who has had mylagic encephalomyelitis for years. 

Others
There are so many pre-school blogs out there but one of the ones that I enjoy the most, and is by a friend, is The Imagination Tree. We always use the no-cook playdough recipe from here.

Another pre-school blog that I read regularly is Sunhats and Wellie boots. This has plenty of outside activities which always goes down well here.

Just because I like the pictures and domesticity, Pleasant View Schoolhouse
