So the update of kiwigalo was a little project that I added to my ‘to do’ list just about the time we moved out of our house in Auckland and embarked on our journey around South Island, NZ. Who knew that traveling around in a caravan would take up so much of my time that I wouldn’t be able to post, much less update the blog. Then when we arrived in Portugal I was all set to document all our (mis) adventures. Well, low and behold a little thing called ‘homeschooling’ took over my life. So with the help of my husband (thank you!), here we are. I have to say I am digging our new look. We have a number of little things to fix, but just getting my comments to work and my new banner up are enough to make me a happy camper.

I am also feeling so happy today because I know we are days away from the end of our term and the kids and I are going to have 7 days of fun. I have no plan for that fun, but my mission is to say ‘yes’ twice as much as ‘no’ for 7 whole days. People, not having to be mom AND teacher/taxi driver/organizer/cook/shopper/cat wrangler for 7 days is something I am looking very forward to.
