🎄 This is the perfect way to start the festive season… this 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹 at National Trust Wimpole Hall is absolutely breathtaking. ⁣ ⁣ I love the combination of beautiful landscape, mesmerising 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 and music that just fills your heart with happy, festive, memories. ⁣ ⁣ This is the second time we’ve been and it is definitely going to be our new Christmas 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. We love it!⁣ ⁣ This is an hour walk snipped into 90 seconds. It really doesn’t do it justice, but hopefully given you enough of a clue to want to go and make your own traditions. ⁣ ⁣ 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘭 𝘺𝘦𝘵? ⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣#nationaltrust #sonymusic #illuminatedlighttrail #wimpoleestate #christmaslights #homealone #musicandlights #christmas2023 #christmascountdown #christmasday #christmasdecor #christmasdecorating #christmasdecorations #christmaseve #christmasgift #christmasgifts #christmasinspiration #christmaslights #christmaslove #christmasmagic #christmaspresents

💻 Guess who’s got a 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲? Oh yes, that is me. Over 3 years of hard work has led me to this and I feel so proud of myself. Starting a degree during Covid and homeschooling children and working is just insane when I think back.⁣ ⁣ All that study time means I have a BSc Hons in 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲. I love that this is a universal degree, it means I can use it whatever my future holds. ⁣ ⁣ As it’s an apprenticeship, through my employer, I still have some work to do to finish off. But my certificate is en route… the hard work is done. I wouldn’t have been able to do this if it wasn’t for my employer giving me time to study and Hubby for giving me the space to work into the evenings and weekends. It’s a lot of time. And I will be forever grateful. ⁣ ⁣ I love learning and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do, as I left uni at 20 without my 𝗟𝗮𝘄 degree. It was my biggest regret leaving so close to the end. But I’ve done it now and that’s the main thing. ⁣ ⁣ 𝘈𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨? ⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #distancelearning #notes #onlinelearning #ou #student #studentlife #study #studyblog #studygram #studyhard #studyinspiration #studymotivation #studynotes #studyspo #studytime #studytips #studywithme #theopenuniversity #university #wife #woopwoop #mumlife

🎆 Anyone else think 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 are super pretty but also just too loud? It’s a shame they come with such a bang! 𝘋𝘰 𝘐 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘭 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵? 🤣 ⁣ ⁣ Rambo was terrified of them, he would shake and not eat for days around this time of year. I often made him a den somewhere, so he could hide. It’s not nice seeing your 𝗳𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀 go through that. So we’ve never really embraced this occasion by going to a firework event. ⁣ ⁣ Instead we sit and watch them from the glass windows, where we’re warm and safe. I raised a glass of 𝗳𝗶𝘇𝘇 to my furbabies up in heaven tonight. The night sky was deep blue and clear so I could see the beautiful stars inbetween the fireworks. ⁣ ⁣ 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴? ⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣#fireworknight #novemberphotochallenge #novemberphotoaday #photoaday #photooftheday #fireworkshow #5thnovember #bonfire #bonfirenight #bonfires #bonfireseason #fire #firepit #firework #fireworkdisplay #fireworks #fireworkshow #fireworksnight #fireworks💥 #garden #guyfawkes #rememberremember #sparklers #staysafe #viewfromgarden @networkbloggers

🎃 … and that’s a wrap! Happy 𝗛 𝗔 𝗟 𝗟 𝗢 𝗪 𝗘 𝗘 𝗡. ⁣ ⁣ We’ve been trick or treating, playing Halloween songs, dressing up and being 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘆 tonight. It’s been fun. We put a speaker on the front door playing Halloween songs.

🍩 What a super special treat from @krispykremeuk . We got to try their 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Krispy Kreme box & the 𝗣𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗻𝘂𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗞𝗶𝘁. Krispy Kreme have launched 4 eerie-sistible doughnuts to bring joy and frights this Halloween. ⁣ ⁣ The Limited Edition box includes: ⁣ ⁣ 🍏 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 ~ ring doughnut with apple covered icing ⁣ ⁣ 🐺 𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗹’ 𝗢𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 ~ ring doughnut with chocolate frosting ⁣ ⁣ 🎃 𝗣𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 ~ toffee apple filled doughnut (these are the same in the DIY kit) ⁣ ⁣ 🧛‍♀️ 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗲 ‘𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 ~ raspberry filled doughnut ⁣ ⁣ We have a new favourite 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗻𝘂𝘁 in Casa Constant: Pumpkin Patch.

👻 We absolutely love 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 and thought we’d embrace a little family fun scare on holiday… ⁣ ⁣ Noah loved being a 𝗛𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 and Isla embraced the 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 costume! They both played their parts perfectly… ⁣ ⁣ These costumes are from @costumesdotcomuk . They have a super arrange of Halloween outfits for adults and kids, so you can have the best 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝘂𝗻 this October. ⁣ ⁣ They are great 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 and 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀. Noah’s included the cape, mask and gloves. Isla’s included the dress, which is all in one and the wig came separately. We used the adult wig as I thought it would get more use. ⁣ ⁣ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘚𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘺 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯?⁣ ⁣ #prreview We received these costumes in exchange for our review. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #spookyseason #witchythings #witchy #alternativegirl #eerie #halloweendecor #halloweenseason #cosplay #halloweenforever #halloweenvibes #spiderweb #gothaesthetic #witchyvibes #autumnvibes #goth #halloweendecorations #31daysofhalloween #halloween2023 #bloodymary #creativemakeup #halloweenideas #rubiescostumes #costumesdotcomuk #wednesdayaddams

We’ve started our half term week with a bang and I think we’re going to have a lot of fun. Mostly because I’ll be in the 𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝘂𝗯 for the entire week! Well near enough. ⁣ ⁣ We are staying in this 𝗽𝗼𝗱 - it’s pretty cool and compact. It looked a bit different than the lodges on the site. I’ll show you around in my stories over the week. ⁣ ⁣ We’ve been swimming, for a 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 around the site and we are busy planning the rest of our half term. ⁣ ⁣ We’ve never stayed in the south of Devon before, so we’re looking forward to exploring and finding new places. Ps it took us 6 hours to 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹 down here! I’m hoping the trip home is a bit quicker…. 🤣⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗹⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #autumn #autumnvibes #autumnvibes🍁 #fall #fallcolors #fallvibes #familyfirst #familyfun #familygoals #familyiseverything #familylife #familylove #familytime #halfterm #halftermactivities #halftermbreak #halftermholiday #holidays #landscapephotography #motherhood #october #southdevon #themumedition #southwestcoastpath #tree #visitdevon #networkbloggers

Well tonight its more of a video than a photo, but  I couldn’t resist it as it is so funny. I love good old jokes and Grandad is always coming out with them – Noah loves this game, he would do it for hours.
