HSMJ - A Welcome to Australa

In my life this week…
It's been an amazing week!  On Monday my sister arrived from South Africa with her family to take up permanently living in Australia.  It's so good to reconnect with her and her precious family as they get to know our wide brown land!

In our home school this week…
  • It is week 5 and we are on a break!
Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share…
I am inspired by…
Places we’re going and people we’re seeing…
    • This week we are still without a vehicle as it's in for repairs we did however go to Science Works and explore their Carnival Science exhibition.
    • We also went to Point Cook Homestead with our homeschool support group to start the year.
    My favorite thing this week was…
    • Watching Sir N play with his cousins all day!
    What’s working/not working for us…
    • Having a weeks holiday this week and reconnecting with family.

    •  As simply as I can because it's our week of holidays :)
    On Pinterest I found...
    • Homeschool Science & Nature by Michele
    • Tabitha Philen (Meet Penny) who has an amazing collection of Pins!  I have spent a few days exploring and still have not gone through all her boards.  Tabitha has over 12,000 pins.  Happy pinning :)
    • Melissa Taylor from Imagination Soup who has nearly 7,000 pins for you with a following of 1,301,436 and counting (yes you read that number correctly she has over a million people following her boards!)

    I’m grateful for…
    •  the opportunities that are available to me living in this beautiful country.

    3. Oh, how nice to have your family close by! Honestly, I've been kinda bored with Pinterest lately. I used to be very gung-ho about it, but I don't think I've been on in a couple of days and only for a few minutes. Waning! LOL

    5. I'm not often on Pinterest. I have to remind myself to go there. I remember to pin things these days at least. So I'm getting better.

    6. Anytime is my favorite time on Pinterest! I really do have to pace myself. Love Ann Voskamp and Lysa Terkeurst. I'm currently reading Unglued by Lysa. It's so good. Congratulations on your sister moving to Australia and being near you. I'm 3 hours from my sister but manage to visit pretty often. Have a wonderful week. God bless!
