I have decided to let life happen, and rather than make resolutions that will have absolute results, I have decided to make this a year of progression instead. A … [Read more…]

Smart Christmas Presents For Kids

November 23, 2018 by Katyhammy Leave a Comment

Christmas. Present. Madness. That’s what it feels like for me every year. What to get? How much to spend? Should I buy collectibles? Buy them just what they want or something I would rather they have? Would their friends enjoy it when they come for playdates? So many questions!  I do actually like buying presents … [Read more…]

November 20, 2018 by Katyhammy Leave a Comment

I have not read a book like this before, and I must admit until Crystal Paine did a review on this book, I had never heard of Sally Clarkson. My knowledge of US Christian writers is non existent, but hearing how The Life Giving Home broke down family traditions ideas by month seemed pretty good … [Read more…]

The importance of good books

October 26, 2018 by Katyhammy Leave a Comment

I love a good book. A book that can swallow you whole and completely immerse you in its narrative. I used to be strictly a fictional gal, finding non fiction a little too close to reality. But over the last couple of years I’ve tried to branch out and read titles that have historical significance … [Read more…]

Three Quick Spelling Activities

August 28, 2018 by Katyhammy Leave a Comment

Ahh Spelling… I’ve always had a secret love for it, and even though I never entered any spelling competitions I took personal delight when I aced all my tests in class! The exploration of words, how they are arranged, the turn of phrases and discovering their meaning allowed me to enjoy many novels, non fiction … [Read more…]

Improving My Childs Fractions Skills

Mums – Focus On What Matters Most

August 12, 2018 by Katyhammy Leave a Comment

Where did the myth come from that women can (and should) have it all? How did the illusion come about that we could, essentially be superwoman? Maybe it’s something to do with the glossy magazines and equally polished social media profiles we see. But we have all seen these images and maybe at times fallen … [Read more…]

August 3, 2018 by Katyhammy Leave a Comment

  *This post contains affiliate links. The long sprawling summer stretches out in front of us. Promising lie ins, long summer days in the hazy, (and as of late intense) sunshine. The children awake quietly, go downstairs and feed themselves breakfast, while I catch a few more precious moments of peace, before I stretch luxuriantly … [Read more…]
