Or it can be a time of fractious children and lethargic teens. For most of us, it’s probably a mix of the two.Continue reading “Episode 2 – Wintering Well”

Episode 1 – Hopes for a New Year
A new year! And Season 2 of Rooted to Flourish! We’re excited to be back together again and as we sipped tea and nibbled some left over mince pies, we mulled over our thoughts around the beginning of 2025.

Episode 12 – When ideals meet reality
How many of you are dreamers? Maybe holding on to firmly rooted ideals or a hard won version? We’re sure we are not the only one’s whose days often fall far short of these. So do we just give up on the big picture? Is it possible to hold on to our vision in theContinue reading “Episode 12 – When ideals meet reality”
Episode 11 – Socialisation
It’s the hot potato… Maybe the question we are most asked and one of the concerns which might be uppermost in our own minds as we home educate our children. “How will they socialise?” Before we can answer that, we need to consider what we and others actually mean when asking this loaded question. JoinContinue reading “Episode 11 – Socialisation”

Episode 6 – Christmas Edition!
Our first Rooted to Flourish Christmas episode! We’d love to be sitting with you around a blazing fire, sipping warm spiced drinks and partaking of mouthwatering mince pies while sharing our Christmas traditions and memories. However, as this sadly isn’t possible, we hope our special Christmas episode with Helen, Molly, Clare and Ruth will encourageContinue reading “Episode 6 – Christmas Edition!”
Episode 2 – Juggling
For a few decades we’ve been wondering whether we women can really “have it all”. And now we’ve gone and added educating our children into the mix. How is it possible? How can we juggle the demands of home, family, education and general life? I can’t promise that the Rooted to Flourish team have allContinue reading “Episode 2 – Juggling”
