Welcome 2014

Happy New Year! and all that Jazz.

It's been a while since I blogged; not for the want of writing, but because my computer was a bit messed up with viruses and pop-up adds that prevented me from posting.  All resolved now thanks to a family friend who had his arm twisted in helping me sort it. Well I am his wife's Midwife, so I think he felt he better help if he wants me to turn up on the big day!

2013 - what an amazing year.  We travelled, we campaigned, we laughed, we cried and we were a family muddling through life very much together.  I'm not sure a great deal of learning or 'home ed' took place, as there were many times when the only sound in the house was my fingers on the key board (working on the campaign) accompanied by my "Shhhs - I am working".  Some people reassured me my children would be learning so much from me.  Like Fuck.  They learn't how the back of my head looked and that campaigning to save a profession against a Government who knows NOTHING about birth and woman's choice is a bloody nightmare.  Still, we've nearly won so I guess that was worth it.

So 2014 was rung in; for us it was the wonderful Gary Barlow (I Love Gary) and the the Fireworks on the TV.  Perfect.

As we look ahead to the next 12 months, we are full of excitement for all the year holds.  2012 was a very challenging year, so to have had lots of blessings in 2013 makes us more positive for the year ahead.  Anything is possible if you believe, and we are sending out lots of energy for a year of possibility's.  This might include a house move, a book and some travelling.  Not sure in which order, but I am sure that wine will be involved somewhere.

Sophie is steadily working towards some GCSE under tutors whilst Lily, Noah and I are planning some interesting projects.  I will be doing less campaign work so that I can really support them this year in their learning journeys and have already ordered the resources to support us for the Spring Term (watch this space for more regular posts).  I also have some plans for me too (no, not a baby), just personal goals I put aside in 2013 for the campaign.

I got side-tracked in 2013 with spending and consumerism again,so this year I a really want to focus on living with less and what really matters.  My inspirations for 2014 are:

Be More with Less

Bravewriter

Susannah Conway

More Yoga

It starts with Food

Self-development


I look forward to sharing our journey with you.
Sending you positivity for 2014.
