๐Ÿ‚ The leaves are starting to scatterโ€ฆ it can only mean one thing: Autumn is on the way! I handed my assignment inโ€ฆ now the waiting of whether I passed or not. It was my final one and so itโ€™s worth 50% of the year. As you can imagine itโ€™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. Thatโ€™s 8 a year! On top of working full time and being a parent, oh and a blogger. Yes, itโ€™s been a hard few years. But if we can all just cross fingers that Iโ€™ve got more than 40% on this last assignment - Iโ€™ll be so happy! ๐Ÿคฃ Now itโ€™s done I can start looking forward to Autumn. Itโ€™s my favourite season and makes me so happy. Iโ€™ve got lots of exciting things to share with you over the next few weeksโ€ฆ an Autumnal themed competition for one! What do you love about Autumn? ๐Ÿ‚ #mummyphotoaday ~ leaves #autumn #autumniscoming #autumnal #autumnsun #reflection #uni #studymotivation #university #openuniversity #cmda #degreeapprenticeship #challenging #photoaday #photooftheday #themumedition #networkbloggers #photochallenge2023 #makethemostoflife

โœ๏ธ What a weekโ€ฆThese 2 threw themselves back into ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น 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 itโ€™s such a big school. Noah seems to have seamlessly transitioned into year 8.โฃ โฃ Theyโ€™ve been told they can leave their blazers at home, due to the ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ, but theyโ€™ve both worn them all day. ๐Ÿฅต I donโ€™t know how theyโ€™ve done it.โฃ โฃ I thought it would be ๐˜€๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ already, not sweaty weather! Clearly chose the wrong photo prompt for mummyphotoaday! โฃ โฃ On another note Iโ€™ve been head down studying for my very final assignment for ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ถ. 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. โฃ โฃ How has your transition back to school/work or uni life been this week? โฃ โฃ #mummyphotoaday ~ ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น โฃ .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ #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

๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Come and see a ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ฒ 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.โฃ โฃ ๐—š๐˜†๐—บ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† 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.โฃ โฃ Iโ€™m hoping Isla has got her level 6, which she is currently working towards. ๐—”๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐˜€ 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! โฃ โฃ If youโ€™re interested in Gymfinity then please use my code ๐— ๐—จ๐— ๐— ๐—ฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ to get a waiver off the joining fee, which saves you ยฃ15.โฃ โฃ Let me know if you get ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ from seeing Isla, it would make her dayโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ โฃ Thank you @gymfinitykids for helping Isla with her confidence and gymnastics skills. .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ #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 ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ: bedtime and waking up!โฃ โฃ 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 ๐˜€๐—ธ๐˜†? โฃ โฃ 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 ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜. 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.โฃ โฃ I do love weekends like this when itโ€™s just chilled and thereโ€™s no rushing to get places. Now we have a couple of days to get back into a routine and prepare for ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜† school. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ โฃ โฃ Are you ready for the early mornings and rushing around again? โฃ โฃ #mummyphotoaday ~ ๐—ฆ๐—ธ๐˜† & ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ โฃ โฃ โฃ .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ .โฃ #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

This time last year I was all belly, then I met Isla Rae and my legs turned to jelly. I wasn't expecting a little pink parcel, she is dinky and cute but also a rascal! VIEW the POST
