Mothering Sunday

I always thought Mother's Day was a day to celebrate mothers, but here in the UK, it used to be the one day s year that young girls working as house maids got to go and visit their mothers.
I live far from mine and wish we could be closer. But thankfully we get to talk on the phone or via Skype a few times s week. I miss her a lot! Every day!

So today I got my Mothering Sunday! I got to sleep in, have breakfast in bed and watch a movie. Lunch at a local Sardinian restaurant, followed by a walk through the park in the freezing cold. Lovely day!

To my mum and all you ladies who are lucky enough to have people who call you "maman"!

Jad's first painting

I have had this painting in the walls for a while, and since it is jad's first painting I wanted to share it with you.
I love it!

World book day 2013

Today, Ines chose to dress as Pippi Longstocking for World book day. She loved the books by Astrid Lindgren that Santa got her for Christmas.
Favourite bit of today: "when we played a memory game in class".

The Eiffel Tower by Ines O.

I have finally gotten around to posting Ines' presentation on the Eiffel Tower. She chose the subject after having spent a few days in Paris at Christmas. The Eiffel Tower was her favourite bit of the trip!
She knew how she wanted to structure her work and planned her board really well i thought.
I was also impressed at how her confidence and presentation skills have progressed since last year. No wonder, she has been presenting since the age of 4...
Here it goes. Enjoy!
