In 2006 I began blogging at Little Pieces of Happiness. This blog was really about our move to Somerset, getting my oldest boy into school and learning how to home educate my girls. This blog included my then-toddler, learning to home educate and occupy little ones and how my life evolved as they grew. The surprise pregnancy and birth of Lucas signified a huge change for us all. Little Pieces of Happiness felt outgrown as my opinions and skills began to evolve and as I learnt how to parent and learn in new ways.
With four children on the other side of education, parenting and homeschooling ideas evolving, and my last two little people to grow, it signified a new phase in our lives and it felt like the right time to return to a familiar name 'Welcome To Our World'. Currently we are living in a season of busy family life with four grown up kids, and two homeschool kids, and two gorgeous grandkids. We are wading through the treacle of SEN, navigating the joys of watching my kids grow in a slightly crazy world, and balancing all of this out by seeking out peace, goodness and beauty and searching for the paths less travelled.

My posts are still photo heavy (sorry!). But are less about the older children now, as only seems fitting, and although they aren't being forgotten, you might wonder if they have been. There is an embracing of beauty and nature, and the 'ordinary' things in life. God and gratitude are more of a focus these days as I learn more and more the arts of peacefulness and quiet. There are less meandering pondering posts now too. It's not really a great climate to share thoughts and opinions these days.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
(From The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost)
