Why do you need a homeschooling schedule?
Because without one you will spend your days dilly-dallying. Especially if you are trying to homeschool and work at the same time.
You will end up feeling extremely busy but accomplishing very little, if anything, at all.
How strict does the home-schooling schedule need to be?
Strict enough to keep everyone happy but not too strict that you become a slave to the schedule.
Yesterday, at 12pm, New Zealand went to level 4 and as such, the entire country is currently in lockdown for (a minimum) of four weeks.
Thinking about something and then actually doing it are two different things.
When you are going about your daily life, walking to work and drinking coffee in cafes with buskers outside, the idea of spending a month with the same people behind closed doors seems somewhat of a novelty.
It wouldn’t be too bad, you think to yourself.
And then it starts.

How old is too old to travel?
You know how when you get to a certain age, and you suddenly start ‘playing on it?’
“Ohh… I couldn’t possibly take the bins out – I’m far too old for that.”
Or
“Don’t ask me to hold the dog down while you cut her toenails – I’m getting on a bit. I can’t kneel for long.”
Well, this weeks guest made me feel like a right old fake.
He put me in my place and showed me that you are as old as you feel.
It’s easy for me to bang on about how wonderful New Zealand is – my family and I have been living here for the last ten years and although the country has its pros and cons, I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. I adore the place.
Making the move to New Zealand was the best thing we ever did.
(Even if the kiwi slang words still drive me mad after almost a decade).
Still. I probably am a bit biased.
So we thought we’d give you a treat…

This week’s podcast walks you through a budget-friendly and fun weekend with kids in Charleston, SC; one of the most popular and unique travel destinations in the world!
Last year my husband and I took our two kids ( teenagers age 16 and 13) to Charleston, SC for a long weekend.
But.
There was a catch.
As always we were on a budget (nothing new there then ) and I must admit, I was somewhat worried as to whether we’d be able to make our money stretch.
Our budget was $80 per day for the four of us.
Did we do it?
I’m Liz, and this is my family.
I do Travel. I do Wine. I do being a mum to big kids. Sometimes I do all three at the same time.
I don’t do hormones. Or looking perfect for Instagram. Or dieting.
