Hay folks, we seem to have landed in the busy season it is all good, if not a little crazy over here right now. We are doing school, we are doing fun, we are slowly but surely but surely building our 2017 library and for some reason I have decided that this is the season to up my “Getting Things Done Year” game and I am clearing out stuff faster than even I can believe.
I am blogging over at Harassed Mom today…
Se7en Builds a Library Book by Book
Our library project is slowly but surely growing book by book… and a package is arriving everyday now. Huge thank you to SuperNova magazine for their fabulous contribution. If you would like to help us to build a library of books for a school in desperate need then look no further than this post here.

This Week’s Highlights
I am Looking Forward to: A good weekend read and meeting Lesley Pearce next week.
Listening: This is my year for conquering the classics and so far I have managed to get a few under my belt, I just finished The Tale of Two Cities… what a tragedy, how did I not know the story before and what rich characters. Took a while to get into it but the beautiful wordage kept me engaged in the story and I had to know how it ended.
Reading with the Kids: Who knew that Peter Slingsby of fabulous map fame, had also written a couple of books for kids. always looking for rich South African content to read and we have been enjoying these historical fiction stories… packed with richness that only the local landscape can provide.
Watching with the Kids: My kids are watching Makoccino on youtube right now… her boredom busters are fab!!!
Making rusks… because it is the season!!!
And Looking Forward to: The Penguin Waddle this weekend. Here’s the Waddle so far…
