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.

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

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.

I am feeling exhausted and it is only day 2 of week 2 of this lockdown ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Yesterday I just couldnโ€™t cope anymore. I had a massive headache and just went straight to bed after I finished homeschooling. Today I woke up much better but still feel much of my energy is gone by the time we finish with the school timetable. โฃ
โฃ
I am struggling to do anything else beside homeschooling which is a big issue for me because I cannot do any work. I just need to find a way I can manage to catch up with my work too. โฃ

I know that each day will be different and there will be good days and bad days so we just have to keep going. At the moment my only motivation is to keep counting the days towards Friday, so then I can literally do nothing during the weekend ๐Ÿคฃโฃ

Sending love to all the parents out there! โค๏ธโฃ

๐Ÿ“ธ Sharing another photo from our trip to Brighton last year. How much would I do to be there right now! My girls were so happy running around freely on the beach, breathing in the sea air and enjoying every sunset. Pure happiness. โฃ

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
