God opened a door and blessed Paul with a ticket to go home to South Africa to care for his elderly parents for two months.
He has also been selected to do a Fellowship with Zoo's Victoria and go to Tasmania in the near future for ten days.
We enjoyed a lovely week of holidays in March and a second week in October. I'm still very tired which has made me realise that I've taken on far too much this year.
In Our Homeschool We ...
We did attend a few trips this year although I did not manage to share our journey as regularly as I had hoped. I have heaps of photographs languishing on my computer. This is something I hope to change in the new year with a few Throw Back and Field Trip posts. One trip we did enjoy was viewing 200 Years of Australian Fashion
We have continued with art class and explored new things each week. I hope to continue sharing our adventures each week in the Virtual Fridge link up

Is Homeschool mothers journal like a weekly wrap up? If do, yes. Do.
ReplyDeleteYes it is Annette :)
DeleteAs we grow, our commitments change, don't they? You are a fabulous lead for us on the Crew and we are blessed by you and your knowledge. Thanks for all you do! - Lori
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. It is amazing how commitments change all the time.
DeleteI loved your Homeschool Mother's Journal posts as they were full of interest and useful resources. It would be lovely to see these again.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouragement. I think I shall try and revive them again in the new year
DeleteCongrats on the 1000 Likes and learning WP, that one still scares me! Here's to an amazing 2017.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kylie :) It still scares me too :D Yes here is to a great 2017
DeleteCongratulations on all your accomplishments in 2016! I especially appreciate your leadership with the Crew, of course! :-D If you bring back your Homeschool Mother's Journal posts, I'd be so delighted to have you link up at Homeschool Highlights each week - I enjoy seeing what others do from week to week. Happy New Year, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWhile your Mother's Homeschool Journal sounds very interesting and insightful, I want to encourage you to make sure you are taking care of yourself first. We can't take care of others if we deplete ourselves and don't make time to renew. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your year. The Homeschool Mother's Journal sounds wonderful!
