The blog, the whole blog and nothing but the blog.
Home-schooling is going so well some days it feels like we’re starring in our own Idiocracy film.
Thank you to Westpac for supporting our family and sponsoring this post. On that, have you heard about the deal Westpac has brokered where they’re footing the bill for parents ($99) to enrol their kids in the Mathspace Essentials numeracy program? Worth taking a minute to check it out at the bottom of this post after you read about how good a teacher I am not.
Since her operation on Thursday, Tracey has been holding off eating until her doctor gives her the okay. In her absence, it seems at least one of her children has been attempting to go out in sympathy.
Things are progressing just about as well as can be expected. Better even. Like, I haven’t misplaced a single child in the 48 hours I’ve been left in charge.

Not her. Me.
“I’m. Not. Batman,” Master12 growled at me through a clenched jaw sounding, ironically, a lot like Batman.
I love whales. They remind me of Tracey.
Money has become a problem for me this week.
So tonight I thought I might share a couple of things we’ve discovered so far. There are a heap of links in this post, but nothing’s sponsored here and we’re not receiving any kickbacks. This is just what we’ve found which we thought might be useful or interesting or just because my fingers decided you needed to know.
To keep them amused on long car trips Tracey came up with a heap of activities for the kids, including what I suspect, perhaps worryingly, will become their number one go-to on our big lap.
It’s been suggested by a couple of people I looked a bit nervous on camera today. I was, but not for the reason you’d think…
