🌿 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.⁣ ⁣ 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳?⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #familyfirst #familytime #familytimes #familytime❤️ #familytime💕 #holidays #kidsforreal #landscapephotography #memories #peakdistrict #peakdistrictnationalpark #peakdistrictphotography #peakdistrictwalks #summerholidays #summermemories #summermemories☀️ #summermemories☀️🌴 #summermemories☀️🔙 #summermemories🌞 #summertime #ukhikers #visitpeakdistrict #walking #watchthemgrow #yourpeakdistrict #photoaday #photooftheday

🍂 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? 🍂 #mummyphotoaday ~ leaves #autumn #autumniscoming #autumnal #autumnsun #reflection #uni #studymotivation #university #openuniversity #cmda #degreeapprenticeship #challenging #photoaday #photooftheday #themumedition #networkbloggers #photochallenge2023 #makethemostoflife

✏️ 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? ⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #adorable #babyboy #babygirl #backtoschool #backtoschool2023 #children #daughterlove #sonlove #education #firstdayofschool #littleexplorer #momlife #momsofinstagram #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #mumlife #mumstheword #parenting #parentinglife #parentingmemes #parents #proudmumma #school #secondaryschool #networkbloggers #themumedition

🤸🏻‍♀️ 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.⁣ ⁣ Let me know if you get 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 from seeing Isla, it would make her day… 🤸🏻‍♀️ ⁣ Thank you @gymfinitykids for helping Isla with her confidence and gymnastics skills. .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #gymfinitykids #gymfinityandbeyond #gymfinitymiltonkeynes #miltonkeynesmums #visitmk #themumedition #networkbloggers #children #committed #flexibility #flexible #fulltwist #goodtimes #gymfinity #gymnastics #gymnasticslife #gymnasticsvideos #handstand #kidsclub #miltonkeynes #supportlocal #prgifted Isla gets her lessons partially funded in exchange for us showing you what she gets up to.

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? ⁣ ⁣ #mummyphotoaday ~ 𝗦𝗸𝘆 & 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #familyadventures #familyfun #familytime #familytravel #familytravels #familytrip #getoutside #getoutsideandplay #landscapephotography #magicofchildhood #momlife #neverstopexploring #optoutside #outdoorfamilies #outdoorkids #runwildmychild #stayandwander #thegreatoutdoors #travelfamily #traveltheworld #travelwithkids #wildandfreechildren #wildernessculture #themumedition #networkbloggers

    On my what a precious photograph. It has brought me to tears. My grandmas both died when I was pregnant with my eldest so never met him. I often wonder what they would have thought of their great grandchildren x
