How to have a happy home

This time last year, we bought this house. See how sad it was?

All cold and empty and neglected. Poor house. So we bought it - rescued it really, loving it and now fixing it up. Admittedly, we haven’t got very far yet and there’s still boxes everywhere. But look at it now.

Doesn’t it look happer? I mean, even despite the better lighting and the still-falling-apart-ness.

I love you house. It’s okay, we’ll have you all better as soon as we can. Starting when the mountain of snow melts. (We’ve made lists. Lots of them.)

   It’s a beautiful house!! I know how you feel - we bought our house 5 years ago and we’re STILL doing things to it! Feels like you’re never done

   Hey Andrea,
   Just thought I’d say hi. I just happened upon your website/blog and found your homeschooling/outlook v. interesting. I’m a single mom, in the states, and have always been curious about homeschooling…though I don’t have the patience to do it myself! Just secretely wish my kids had a mom that could do that, ha ha.
   Good luck!
   Laila

   I was also wondering if you have any other great links to learning websites. I found this one that you posted, Starfall, do you have any more? I have a 3 and 6 year old.
   Thanks!
