I have been all day in PJs today without any willingness to get changed! What is the point? I still have done all the things needed to be done for the day but in my PJs. I just found everything too much lately! The motivation is gone and who knows now how much longer we will be in this situation! It looks like perhaps until April? Right now I am just counting the days to half term so at least I can have one week with no homeschooling! โฃ

I know a lot of you are feeling the same. I shared a story today about this and so many people feel the same way. I just hope we can get some energy somehow to carry on each week! โฃ

The ocean makes me feel happy! Just the feeling of putting my feet under the water brings me happiness, makes me feel content, fulfilled. It is just magical how nature can make you feel so centred. We definitely need to be more connected with nature and in order to do that we need to start protecting it, starting with our ocean. โฃ

I was so excited when @atelier_rosemood_uk got in contact again to try their personalised calendars. I love calendars because I like to get organised and ahead of what is coming but I love personalised calendars even more because they reminded me of special moments that I would like to keep alive. 

2020 was an interesting year for all of us but it was full of lovely memories too. I love taking photos and I have so many photos from last year that I loved putting them together to personalise my calendar. Each month has 5 photos that made those months special and memorable, so every time I look at them I will remember them. 

I have also added photos to important dates like birthdays, our wedding anniversary, motherโ€™s day, fatherโ€™s days, etc. I enjoyed every single minute of putting it together and I am loving the final results. The cover is so elegant too.

We are now ready to start homeschooling again tomorrow! We had a couple of parent Zoom meetings today with the teachers explaining how the term will be and it has been helpful to listen to their expectations.โฃ
โฃ
I am homeschooling my eldest who is in Year 6 and my youngest who is in Year 2, so both timetables are different but they both follow the same structure. The only problem is that their breaks and lunch times are not at the same time but this was the same last time so we will try to accommodate the times somehow.โฃ
โฃ
One of the things that we discussed was to try to get some time to get out and get some fresh air to help with our mental health. We will inevitably be spending more time indoors so allocating one hour per day for this will be very important. โฃ
โฃ
Another interesting thing we discussed is that the girls will not have homework for the weekends so we can all have a break which I am sure will be needed! โฃ
โฃ
I know most of you have already started homeschooling and I can see you have survived your first days already so there is hope right? As I said before, we have done this once so we can do this again! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿปโฃ

๐Ÿ“ธ This photo was taken exactly a year ago when we visited Brighton. We met there with @zenassuitcase and @mudpiefridays and their families and we had a fabulous time. Such a lovely memory! Right now I am just dreaming of the idea of travelling and hugging people again! ๐Ÿค—โฃ

The girls are still on holidays until Thursday, so we are enjoying the last days before we go back to homeschooling again! I am not going to lie, I am dreading it but we are getting our minds on it so we start off on the right foot. โฃ
โฃ
Today we got up on time and I asked the girls to do some activities to start getting into a routine. We also checked we got all the equipment they need up to date. Bella got a new Ipad for Christmas and Sienna got a small new laptop which will be very handy for their remote learning. โฃ
โฃ
We still donโ€™t know what the new restrictions will be in place later today but there are some rumours that a national lockdown is a possibility. I personally feel the sooner we do this, the sooner we could get out of it, especially when the vaccines are starting to roll out. โฃ
โฃ
If you are also homeschooling, I wish you the best! We can do this! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿปโฃ

We can finally say goodbye to 2020 and welcome 2021 with open arms! ๐Ÿค—โฃ
โฃ
Even though 2020 was a crazy year, I must admit that some parts were positive like being able to spend more time together. We have definitely enjoyed being closer as a family. โค๏ธโฃ
โฃ
It was sad to see so many of our trips cancelled last year but we are so grateful that we managed to go to Crete during the summer. It was a last minute decision and it paid off so well. We had the best time and we enjoyed every single minute of it. So much that we even extended our stay ๐Ÿ˜ƒโฃ
โฃ
We are now hoping for 2021 to be a better year as we are desperate to be able to travel freely again. We would  love to be able to be spontaneous again without having to worry about ten thousand restrictions and being able to meet people again, especially being able to hug again. ๐Ÿค—โฃ
โฃ
I know a few of us havenโ€™t started the New Year how we hoped as sadly we will need to go back to homeschooling again ๐Ÿ˜ณ. This is in my head constantly at the moment and I am worried I will struggle again but I am trying to be positive and keep telling myself: โ€œIf I did it once, I can do it againโ€. Letโ€™s just hope this time itโ€™s for a shorter time. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿปโฃ

Finally, my family and I would like to say ๐™๐™ƒ๐˜ผ๐™‰๐™† ๐™”๐™Š๐™ so much for following our journey during 2020, for all your likes, shares and comments! Your support means so much for us! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโฃ
