Se7en’s Fabulous Fun Post #308

Well Cape Town has been beautiful all week, clear blue skies and perfect day after perfect day…

It’s taken two weeks, but I finally figured out that blogging one handed is nearly impossible… responding to text messages and emails just about beyond comprehension. In fact most things are out of the question. Silly me, I had this idea that with a broken arm I would spend a lot of time in a comfortable spot reading books, the house of course would run itself and time would fly. In fact, time drags, I am spending a lot of time balanced on the corner of the couch listening to podcasts, because turning pages is ultra tricky!!! So it is kind of crazy over here… in a “I can’t get anything done” kind of way, and yet I know it means this is a season to just sit and be patient…

There are still a couple of days to join our French Classic Cooking Course, click on the image, it will take you to the post with all the info… leave a comment and we will get back to you soonest. While I was planning to enjoy the course myself… I have to say my kids are just loving it. This has been the week of potatoes, it has been a fairly fabulous feast over here. Watch out for a post on Monday evening.

1. I totally love this post on Mind/Shift: An Eleven-Year-Old’s Quest To Spotlight Black Girls In Literature.
2. Krokotak’s awesome crafting: These paper flowers.
3. Who should you dress up as for World Book Day on Puffin Books.
4. So who feels like a little Not Quite Nigella’s Cheesecake: I am thinking my kids are going to give this a try!!!
5. Now We Are Six on Katie’s Creative Space, inspiring post, I need to round-up our Mr Six’s treasures stat.
6. Zen Habits, always a great read has a Simplicity Manifesto, with lots of things to opt out of… food for thought.
7. Imagine Childhood always has amazing weekend link-ups, with stacks of great reads.

Digital Learning is Impact Virtual Learning’s most popular class. Great as a stand-alone for your homeschooling teen or as a prerequisite for the Impact Virtual Learning electives.
