25.01.2022 Baking or cooking something should be a daily homeschool activity in my book. My children will take turn each day selecting something they want to contribute to our family dinner. Today Lach made our favourite bread bun recipe (from our thermomix). So many opportunities for math and measurement and to work with the hands. #homeschool #socialdistancing #kidsinthekitchen #kidscooking #teachmetodoitmyself #montessorifamily #montessori #breadbuns

23.01.2022 The arrival of this guy was supposed to mark the beginning of a new chapter post cancer however, Im sad to say as I went in for my followup, we got the shocking news my cancer spread to my liver. My cancer is rare, its aggressive. Id be lying if I didnt say I was scared and traumatised by the news. But... Instead of digging a whole into darkness I insist on being positive. Focusing on each step at a time keeps my sanity and the present moment gives me such joy. A ra...dical surgery will take place this Friday. Half my liver will be removed for a chance at the best possible outcome. Im spending this week with my friends and family who have given me endless love, support and distraction. I am a fighter and I certainly will not let this take me down without a good hard fight. Ive got the boxing gloves on. God is so good and in control. No matter the outcome, I trust in Him and I know hell work all out for the good! Thank you for the ongoing support and prayers. I cant wait to get back home and snuggle with this little teddy bear who we named Biscuit. #yougottariskittogetthebiscuit #cancer #cancerjourney #iamasurvivor #igotthis #godisincontrol #groodles #salisburyparkgroodles

21.01.2022 Now this is independence!

19.01.2022 This is about all I will be contributing to homeschool efforts today. The clinical trial medicine has left me so unwell today with nausea. The kids are good at taking initiative though. They did Slime science activity on their own. I heard them writing out methods, hypotheses, observations and conclusions. Lovely to hear them work together. Then a storm hit and there was yelling and squealing. I tried to guide them through it to no avail and being quite irritable from my state I said I was checking out and needed to lay down before I became Ms. Hannigan! You know as a parent you are not on your game when your child asks permission to do something and your response is to do whatever you want...which they love of course! So cheers to all the parents simply taking care of themselves today

18.01.2022 When a previous family you had as a Directress surprises you with the most heartfelt and hand made gift! Feeling so loved!!

18.01.2022 Telling time is one of the activities I noticed we could work on. These two designed their own clocks from paper plates on hand and afterwards my eldest called out a time in which they had to make on theirs. They checked if they were correct after he showed them the right setting on the wooden model. All three had fun working together and my eldest enjoyed teaching the younger ones and offering tips to remember the quarter and half pasts, etc. It was true mixed age groups at work! #homeschool #socialdistancing #handsonlearning #clockwork #tellingtime #montessori #montessoriathome #montessorieducation #followthechild @ Sydney, Australia

14.01.2022 Hello friends! I want to share with you something thats been niggling at me since my diagnosis and I hope youll follow along. Ive had it on my heart to develop this page and soon to be blog and its been sitting empty until I could figure out exactly what Im supposed to do with it. Well, now I know. I feel a calling to shift my blogging style to more self care which youd know is a huge part of my sharing here at Montessori&Me over the years. I feel like God has pressed on my heart that there are people out there that need more guidance on how to find hope, peace and faith. I hope youll follow along and share with others if you feel led.

14.01.2022 As I wait for results on my first PET scan after my second surgery I reflect on how far Ive come since my initial diagnosis a year ago. Ive had too many scans..., xrays and pathology tests done to count and I can honestly say Im at a point where I no longer ask myself what if its bad? Because while on this journey I find this question more helpful... What if its just as its supposed to be? What if it is, at least at this time, this moment? A moment can change, a diagnosis can too. A test in the future can show a positive result. What if right now this moment had to happen because its part of a picture so much bigger than me that I simply cant imagine it? What if this little snippet of a chapter in my life (a crap one Ill admit) has been working for the good in things I cant see? What if its just the catalyst needed to change someones perspective in their own life that gets them to start living for a much greater purpose... perhaps a complete stranger? Unimaginable news and experiences change people, it shifts perspectives; from the radiographer who first sees the tumour, to the surgeon who removes it and to all the people who love and care for the person with the disease. Lives are forever changed. I know this because when I share my journey, people tell me themselves how encouraged they are in their own challenges because of my story. I see the good from my bad experience. So I no longer ask, what if its bad? Instead I believe there is always something greater at work and while outcomes may not be what I want I have faith that in the end it will all work out for a greater good. Because this road Im on is so much more than cancer, so, so sooooo much more! Its about love, community, faith and hope.

14.01.2022 Clever spin on it!

12.01.2022 School excursions have been cancelled so she is working on her own sculpture instead at home. She made up the paper mache recipe herself and is covering her sculpture made of recycled goods before she paints and embellishes it. #homeschool #socialdistancing #artathome #artforkids #montessori #montessoriathome #montessorichild #art #artists #getcreative #justimagine

12.01.2022 Enjoyed a beautiful, cooler summers day picking sunflowers with my family. It was lovely to focus on simply being in nature and enjoying our outing together. Sunflowers brighten anyones day, dont they? #youaremysunshine #sunflowers #sunflowerfarm #summerinsydney #mangrovemountain

09.01.2022 Do you love smoothie bowls?! Since my cancer diagnosis Ive been making homemade acai berry ones, topped with nuts, seeds and coconut. I puree frozen acai with half a mango and a banana. Its delicious and high in the antioxidant anthocyanin. Children love to treat this like a work of art, making their own patterns as they put it all together. #acaiberry #acai #superfoods #smoothiebowl #anticancer #antioxidants #beatcancer
