Inspired today reading Victorias blog…

1. Quiet-time activity boxes:“I spend a lot of time figuring out different activities that the kids enjoy without any input from me, so I can do whatever I want at the same time. Quiet Time happens on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. By then they all need a break from each other and I need some QUIET. Everyone goes into their own bedrooms and comes out to swap over activities. There's many activity boxes. The stencils from the opshop have been a big hit recently. So has plasticine. Quiet Time has become so successful that it can last up to two hours if I give everyone a snack in the middle of it. I like teaching each of the kids to play on their own. At the end they make me take endless photos of what they make or set up.”
