On the eve of thanksgiving it’s definitely got my thinking about what I’m #grateful for. These 5 are at the top of my list, of course so is my cat, I absolutely love my familam. My babies have done me proud this year. They’ve shown resilience, compassion, kindness and above all patience. Someone said to me today that because I am all of those things: I will embed this into my kids foundations. I’d never thought about this before. It made me feel proud. Of myself and Hubby. We’re raising these somewhat feral tiny humans into well grounded and thoughtful people. They embrace everything that is thrown at them and for that I will always be grateful. What are you feeling grateful for at the moment? #mummyphotoaday ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #oureverydaymoments #letthembelittle #candidchildhood #lifeinengland #familyadventures #halftermtravel #autumntravel #aquietspace #visitdevon #ofsimplethings #travelingwithkids #visitdevon #cottageholiday #mummyconstant #familylife #thisisdevon #familytravel #dramaticdevon #devon #northdevoncoast #madaboutdevon #familytraveltribe #autumn #familyblogger #ukexplore #devoncoast #exploredevon #daysoutwithkids

On the eve of thanksgiving...

Although you probably wouldn’t think it, to look at me because I always dress quite conservatively, I love a #pattern. Bold. Striking. Daring. When we bought this house last year I knew I wanted bold flooring where possible and so far it’s going well. This is our beautiful flooring from @harveymaria - it’s a luxury vinyl tile that just looks amazing and feels nice to walk on too. This particular pattern is “Lattice Tarn” from the Dee Hardwicke range. This room is the utility and sees a lot of traffic throughout the day. Muddy football boots... muddy paw prints... dog food... dirty laundry... the list goes on. But, it is so easy to wipe clean that it always looks brand new again. I can’t wait to show it off properly and do a before and after reels of our utility room. I’ve also got some shots of how it was installed (professionally made I add). It’s turned a room I didn’t care about into a room I love. I might just get an armchair for the utility room next, so I can sit and stare at it a little more! #gifted. I was gifted this flooring from Harvey Maria. I’ve tagged @harveymaria so please do check out their other fantastic patterns. #mummyphotoaday #instahome #sunflowers #harveymaria #utilityroominspo #utilityroomdecor #homesweethome #homedecor #ilovemyhome #makingafamilyhome #instadecor #patternedfloor #lvt #luxuryvinyltile #tileflooring #myhousethismonth #houserenovation #familyhome

Anyone else feel like their bones are blocks of ice? Or is it just me. Yesterday was so mild, yet I still had my coat and bobble hat on. Today felt like I woke up in Antarctica. I really feel the #cold and I’ve noticed that more so whilst I’ve been working from home. I think the difference in the office is that I walked around more. Walked for meetings, coffee and to speak to people. Nowadays I click to meetings and speaking to people... I wish I could click for coffee too 🙈. Lazy!!! So, my plan is to do more walking throughout the day. Even if I walk around the house, picking up the 98,000 odd socks that get thrown around, in between meetings; should warm me up a bit. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? Despite my frozeness today I did enjoy seeing the frost this morning. It was just beautiful. The crispy autumn floor and mist across the field, it looked magical. And made me feel quite Christmassy! Speaking of which... just over a month until Christmas 😱🎄🎅🏼🧑🏻‍🎄🤶🏻🎁 Whose ready?

Isla has been busy this weekend... she had a queue of customers lining up for their hair appointments. She’s been busy since this lockdown started 🤭 On a more serious note, she really does love this set from @vippetsofficial . She spent ages combing their hair, styling and making them sparkle. This set has an interactive sink, that pumps water out onto the dolls hair. It has a styling chair in the middle with a hidden drawer of accessories. And, the main surprise, the glitterizer (hair dryer dome) at the far end. You put your doll into the glitterizer and it spins around allowing the glitter to fall over the hair. (You use a special glue on the hair before hand). This is the VIP Pets Hair Salon play set and we think it’s perfect for any child who loves playing with hair. A great Christmas gift!

We went for a walk this afternoon, without the dogs, just us hooomans! It was strange not walking with the pattering of paws, however we did walk a lot quicker. Daddy took the dogs out this morning, they can’t manage more than 1 big walk a day now 🐾 We walked a route that involves this rather huge hill, you can see all the surrounding villages on a clear day. That sunshine was just beautiful beaming down on us. It painted the #landscape a golden colour. Everything looked so beautiful. We managed a 2 hour walk, well just shy of, considering the kiddies complained beforehand (and we agreed a half an hour walk) I was impressed. Once they’re out they have fun and enjoy it. The thought of it doesn’t appeal to them though. That’s how I feel about the ironing! 🤣 Did anyone else get out in the Autumnal sunshine? #mummyphotoaday ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #autumnvibes🍁 #autumnal #autumn #positivelifestyle #positiveenergy #exploringtogether #dontquityourdaydream #livemoremagic #theartofslowliving #thehappynow #familyadventure #familyfun #familyphotography #lovemakesafamily #lifeinengland #walkinonsunshine #beingoutside #honestmum #familywalk #mummyblogger #familyoffour #keepingthekidsentertained #allthesmallthings #familylife #familytime #timetogether

I love this photo. Not only because of the beautiful blue skies and fluffy clouds. The sunshine sparkling on the top of the water. And, the #boats that look like their lining up in their best formation. But, for the fact that the kiddies are hiding a huge chain that had one end going into the sand, where the kiddies were standing, and the other attached to a boat. They pulled the chain with all their might. Much to the amusement of Daddy and I, the kids believed that every time they pulled: they were pulling the boats towards us. They were in-fact doing nothing of the kind and it was the tide making the boats move. Which looked like they were moving towards us. They spent a good half an hour trying to pull a boat in. Obviously it didn’t work. It was so lovely to soak up the scene though. It’s such a beautiful view. I really love how it all fits together and the mountain hugging the edge of the water. It would make for a very beautiful painting.

With less than 5 weeks to Christmas Day.... yes 5!! I’m starting to get organised. I have my Christmas lists on the go, wrapping paper stocking up, crafts at the ready and my 2020 Christmas mug of choice (of course). I think we’ll be putting the tree up soon, I want to wait but I’m not sure I can! It makes the house feel so cosy, with the dim twinkling lights and cute decorations. I LOVE nutcrackers and I get an addition every year. This year it’s my mug. It is in the photo but you can’t see it too clearly. I’ll show him off don’t you worry! I am also so excited to announce that my Christmas advent competitions will be back this year, from 1st December, I have prizes worth over hundreds of pounds to give away! Make sure you follow #12daysofconstantchristmas so you don’t miss out... #mummyphotoaday

    I hope you don’t mind me joining in. I love looking at and taking photos (although I don’t take as many as I’d like!) I stumbled upon your bog and I love the idea of “Silent Sunday”. Great capture… it puts me right in the moment and makes me want to see what has caught his attention. Have a wonderful Sunday 🙂
