🍂 Let’s get cosy for 𝗔 𝗨 𝗧 𝗨 𝗠 𝗡… My favourite season is here and I am ready for it. I love the darker nights, where we can snuggle up under the blankets. ⁣
⁣
I have my favourite candles ready to 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻 and the evening lights make the room feel warm and inviting.⁣
⁣
I love all the pretty 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿 in the shops right now, it makes me so happy. And I really love squishing my pumpkin cushions too… a good stress reliever! 🤣⁣

⁣
I’m very excited that tomorrow is October. One of my favourite months, I love the transition to 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿, crunchy leaves and cosy nights under a blanket. ⁣

🫧 Yesterday was just perfect. I was invited to take a peek at the newly renovated 𝗔𝗾𝘂𝗮 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗮 at Elvedon Forest Centre Parcs. They have spent millions and it truly is a place where you can relax in and amongst nature.⁣
⁣
With 𝟮𝟱 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗽𝗮 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, that are all nature inspired, you cannot help but immerse yourself in the magic of the place. From the Japanese onsen-inspired footbaths, to the immersive forest view (where you can watch the seasons change). ⁣
⁣
You must check out 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘀𝘁 too, this sauna is unique to Elvedon Forest. It’s lovely and hot, and you can lie back and watch the nature in the woodland surrounding the spa. ⁣
⁣
Another exclusive to Elvedon Forest is the amazing treatment: 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹. It is an energising body massage with grounding techniques to release any negative energy. You also get a wonderful facial using some of the amazing products. They smell so good. This ritual is a 55 minute experience and I would highly recommend it… there’s also a lovely surprise too. ⁣
⁣
Photos and videos will never do this place justice, it is 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 and there’s a “wow” around every corner. You really do need to experience the new 25 spa features for yourself. You will not be disappointed. ⁣
⁣
This amazing spa opens on 𝟮𝟵𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 (tomorrow). 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨?⁣
⁣
Thank you @aquasanaspa for making me feel absolutely relaxed and restored. I am really thankful that I got to meet some beautiful people too, inside and out. ⁣
⁣
#presstrip This day was paid for by Aqua Sana so that I could reveal to my followers the new renovation and treatment. ⁣
⁣
Some of these photos were sent to me by the super gorgeous Rachel, thank you so much ☺️ ⁣

🥂 We kicked off my favourite season at a lovely wedding for one my favourite people on Saturday. 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗺𝗻 weddings are just beautiful. It’s so nice to get dressed up and make an effort.⁣
⁣
I love this photo (taken by another of my favourite people haha), it’s nice to get little 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 on special days. ⁣
⁣
It’s such a 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 to be invited to a friend’s wedding. ⁣
⁣
Having a break away from the norm really helped. Being at home all week had been quite painful without Rocky and learning to 𝗻𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 things again is going to take time.⁣

🌿 Now I wouldn’t be a typical Brit if I didn’t mention the weather… oh yes, today is the last day of 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 (officially) and so in comes the cosy nights & cold sunshiny days.⁣
⁣
We had a very low key Summer this year, largely because I didn’t want to leave Rocky for long periods (as we knew he was very poorly) and the weather was pretty horrible. But we had some amazing 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 and made some incredible memories.⁣
⁣
Looking back through my photos I 𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 and cried a little… this photo is from our rather large adventure in the Peaks. The furthest I think I’ve ever walked and it was brilliant.⁣

🐯 Wow! 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗶 is the most amazing theatre production I’ve seen. It captivated me right from the start. The way they changed scenes, the music and of course the acting, was perfect.⁣
⁣
🚤 The set is incredible. How it stays the same but changes throughout the show… one minute I felt like I was in a back street in 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 and the next on the ocean. The seamless transitions to different scenes made it all the more special.⁣
⁣
🐢 It is a very funny show, we laughed a lot. However, there were some bits that made us sad and one part Isla couldn’t watch, as they ate the 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗲. But I think that just proves how realistic the show is and how captivated we were. ⁣

☕️ Come and make a delicious 𝗚𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 and enjoy the cosy season creeping in…⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲𝗮 have launched the limited edition and premium seasonal spiced flavours for Autumn and one of them is this Gingerbread hot chocolate. Our favourite!⁣
⁣
3 heaped teaspoons of hot chocolate is all you need per serving. We used our 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 oat milk and vegan squirty cream to make this hot chocolate. ⁣
⁣
The kids love this after a 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆 day at school and now the season is starting to turn it is perfect for an afternoon drink after a nice walk in nature.⁣
⁣
Check out the rest of the Autumn range from @whittardofchelsea1886. They have 𝗰𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 and 𝘁𝗲𝗮 flavoured for the upcoming season too. Yummy!⁣

ᵃᵈ The other week we went to 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮 for a yummy family meal. We love it here as it’s by the marina, so we can enjoy a walk and play in the park before dinner. They have a fab garden space too, it’s perfect for the Summer evenings and for the upcoming Autumn weekends.⁣
⁣
The new ‘𝟳𝟰 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 is absolutely awesome for families, there is so much choice and plenty of vegetarian options. We all got to choose something that we loved, so everyone was happy.⁣
⁣
Isla loved the new 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗿 mocktail. It came with a frozen watermelon in the drink, she said it was absolutely delicious. We’re going to try and make that at home!⁣
⁣
The staff are super 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆, the delicious food is served quickly and it is great value for money. ⁣

🐾💔 My beautiful fluffbag, 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘆. You were the best cat and we are going to miss you so very much.⁣
⁣
Rocky was a surprise, Hubby came home from work one day (about 15 and a half years ago) with his hands behind his back & I heard a little 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗮𝗸. He became Rambo’s best friend & watching them grow up together was magic!⁣
⁣
I’m sure he was part dog, as he had very dog like traits: He would go out with the dogs and come back in after he’d had a wee. He would sit when I gave him a treat. You would always find him 𝘀𝗻𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗱 up with his furbrothers.⁣
⁣
I’m going to miss our 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 moments like when he would snuggle under the duvet & tuck himself in by my tummy, with his head resting on my arm. Or when he’d dribble all over my notepad whilst I’m on a teams call. He was a very chatty cat, always talking to me… if I told him he was a good boy he would squint his eyes at me with content.⁣
⁣
Our house will never be the same. We are all 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻 & I’m really struggling with the notion I haven’t got my work buddy tomorrow. But what’s making it bearable is imagining Rocky is up there with his furbrothers. Together again.⁣
⁣
I can’t believe we’ve lost all of our pets within the last 𝟵 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀. My heart is broken into 3… I will miss him so much. 😣

🍂 The leaves are starting to scatter… it can only mean one thing: Autumn is on the way!

I handed my assignment in… now the waiting of whether I passed or not. It was my final one and so it’s worth 50% of the year. As you can imagine it’s pretty nerve wracking.

A degree apprenticeship is harder than it looked. Not only do you study the academic aspects of a degree, you also do the apprenticeship side of things. Both have learning and assignments. That’s 8 a year!

On top of working full time and being a parent, oh and a blogger. Yes, it’s been a hard few years. But if we can all just cross fingers that I’ve got more than 40% on this last assignment - I’ll be so happy! 🤣

Now it’s done I can start looking forward to Autumn. It’s my favourite season and makes me so happy. I’ve got lots of exciting things to share with you over the next few weeks… an Autumnal themed competition for one!

What do you love about Autumn? 🍂

✏️ What a week…These 2 threw themselves back into 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 without any issues and completely smashed it! Isla has joined her big brother again as she started secondary school. She is still a bit nervous, it must be daunting having so many people in the year and it’s such a big school. Noah seems to have seamlessly transitioned into year 8.⁣
⁣
They’ve been told they can leave their blazers at home, due to the 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘄𝗮𝘃𝗲, but they’ve both worn them all day. 🥵 I don’t know how they’ve done it.⁣
⁣
I thought it would be 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 already, not sweaty weather! Clearly chose the wrong photo prompt for mummyphotoaday! ⁣
⁣
On another note I’ve been head down studying for my very final assignment for 𝘂𝗻𝗶. Deadline is Tuesday, so forgive me if you do not hear from me for a few days. I am so excited to finish, it will be one of my biggest achievements. ⁣
⁣
How has your transition back to school/work or uni life been this week? ⁣

🤸🏻‍♀️ Come and see a 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 of a gymnast by Isla! She wanted to show you the kinds of things they get up to in class and hopefully inspire some new, budding, gymnasts.⁣
⁣
𝗚𝘆𝗺𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 is a brilliant club for children to learn a new skill. Not only has Isla been learning gymnastics but also confidence. She is a different girl to what started a few years ago, she loves going to class and absolutely loves the girls in her group.⁣
⁣
I’m hoping Isla has got her level 6, which she is currently working towards. 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 week are every quarter where we get to see how close Isla is to the next level up. The girls love working towards the star of the week each class too! ⁣
⁣
If you’re interested in Gymfinity then please use my code 𝗠𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗬𝟭𝟬𝟬 to get a waiver off the joining fee, which saves you £15.⁣

We had a chilled weekend, the last of the Summer Holidays, no plans and just us. The kids still have a few days at home this week but we wanted to start getting in a good 𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲: bedtime and waking up!⁣
⁣
Saturday we went for a lovely walk after stuffing our faces at the Pizza Hut all you can eat buffet. The walk around the marina is so lovely, look at that 𝘀𝗸𝘆? ⁣
⁣
Sunday we spent most of the day chilling at the side of another lake, Grafham. It felt very hot with little wind, the sun was 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁. We had a mini badminton tournament & the kids bounced on the pillow. They love it there. I finally got to take Isla to see Barbie last night too: I was gutted the Barbie box had been taken down.⁣
⁣
I do love weekends like this when it’s just chilled and there’s no rushing to get places. Now we have a couple of days to get back into a routine and prepare for 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝘆 school. 😱 ⁣
⁣
Are you ready for the early mornings and rushing around again? ⁣

It’s not everyday you get to explore such beautiful scenery. So we made the most out of our trip to the 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁. ⁣
⁣
This was our second walk. We parked up in 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 and did a loop out to the Stepping Stones, along the river and up the hill on the other side of the village. ⁣
⁣
These 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 were huge and the gaps between them were equally ginormous. Some of them I had to leap over and I had to help the kiddies do the same. But, because it wasn’t an easy crossing it made it much more fun. ⁣
⁣
The river is 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻 because it has a lot of peat in it… fun fact from my husband! ⁣

🥿 How are you getting on with your Back to School to do list? We ticked one job of our list today, the children’s school shoes. They look so smart and ready for secondary school, thanks to Start-Rite. ⁣
⁣
Noah is going into year 8, he is very excited about going back to school. He is very studious and sporty, he wanted some smart shoes that he could get off quickly to play football at lunch. He chose the 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗿 shoe, it’s a smart lace up design and with breathability. ⁣
⁣
Isla is starting secondary school and is feeling quite nervous. She’s spent the last 6 months bending the rules with her uniform and so wanted something that is comfortable, looked cool and was still within the new schools uniform rules. She chose the 𝗦𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵 shoe, it’s a patent slip on loafer. They look so lovely and are made with Air-Rite technology that allows air to flow around the shoe. ⁣
⁣
We love the measuring tools Start-Rite have on their website, you can buy a plastic gauge or download and print a paper gauge. It helps you to measure the children’s feet, as if you were in a store.⁣
⁣
We love finding comfortable shoes that last a school year. The children are always very happy with @startrite_shoes… have you got the school shoes yet? ⁣
⁣
#prgifted We received these shoes so we can show our followers about Start-Rite. ⁣

🥾 We spent the day 𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 around the Peaks. I just love it up there, the landscape is so beautiful. Hubby had a route on his trail app and we just went for it. ⁣This was one of my favourite photos as we walked out of the woodland, perfect for today’s photo challenge.
⁣
I feel full of smiles this evening for it: not only did we smash over 𝟭𝟰𝗸𝗺 today, we had a lovely day together. It was nice to have chats with my babies, they seemed so grown up. Isla and I had a long conversation about how our bodies change over the years and Noah talked a lot about football with Daddy.⁣
⁣
Isla said when we got to the top of Mam Tor how she loved this walk as we had a nice 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁. It melted my heart. She’s right. It was so nice to just chat. She asked me a million questions, it was nice to know she trusted me with the things on her mind. ⁣
⁣
There was another moment where both Noah and Isla held my 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀. I didn’t want that to end, it’s not very often Noah does this anymore. It was another special moment.⁣
⁣
This walk is full of unstable terrain, steep inclines and absolutely 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 views. You will need the right footwear and a full camera battery! ⁣

🗺️ 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹 route ~ Cave Dale, Mam Tor, Lose Hill Summit and back to Castleton⁣

🚗 ~ 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 was free along the road out of Castleton, as it forks off from Arthur’s Way⁣

What do you take from this quote? To me it’s about looking beyond your fears as 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 lie underneath. After all a risk is not always a negative. ⁣
⁣
There’s a lot of plates spinning at the moment personally, work and uni. I’m trying to keep calm and focus on bite size chunks so that I can get over the line. The 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵 line is in sight for uni and I’m going to put that fear to one side and try super hard to get to it.⁣

💦 The kids made a big 𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 this evening, it was a fun way to cool down. I felt bad as ignored them all day whilst working and at 5pm they requested a swim. By that time the pools were closing so I zoomed us to the nearest splash park I knew.⁣
⁣
We spent a few hours seeing the sun setting by the pool and the kiddies played in the park afterwards. It was nice to spend some time with them, after a stressful day, we 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗱 and had a silly hour. ⁣
