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‚

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.

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

#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

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

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

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

I feel full of smiles this evening for it: not only did we smash over ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฐ๐—ธ๐—บ today, we had a lovely day together. It was nice to have chats with my babies, they seemed so grown up.

Isla said when we got to the top of Mam Tor how she loved this walk as we had a nice ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜. It melted my heart. Sheโ€™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. โฃ

There was another moment where both Noah and Isla held my ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐˜€. I didnโ€™t want that to end, itโ€™s not very often Noah does this anymore. It was another special moment.โฃ

November photo challenge day 30 #MummyPhotoaDay

Today's keyword for the November photo challenge day 30, is "change".  A #change is as good as a rest! Weโ€™ve certainly had a lot of that going on here lately. Iโ€™ve started my new job, Hubby starts his soon too. Weโ€™ve had health scares and lifestyle changes on top. Oh and a drastic hair cut 🥺... regardless of all of these things I feel ready to tackle the changes. Iโ€™m starting my new fitness challenge this weekend & I feel hyped, maybe that excitement will wean off after a couple of days! But anyway hereโ€™s to transformation, just like autumn is to winter!! #mummyphotoaday VIEW the POST

November photo challenge day 29  #MummyPhotoaDay

November photo challenge day 29 #MummyPhotoaDay

Today's keyword for the November photo challenge day 29, is "kindness".  #kindness doesnโ€™t cost anything. Being able to lift someoneโ€™s day without effort or inconvenience: just by telling someone they look nice. Or they helped you. Or they did a great thing. Itโ€™s so easy to do. This is the main thing Iโ€™m trying to drill into the children at the moment. I want them to grow up understanding how important it is to be kind. To care. To mean it. Not sure if you saw on my insta feed this week, but I walked past a kid being bullied by his peers: beaten and teased. It breaks my heart. These kids have no understanding of the damage theyโ€™re doing. No thought as to how their actions affect others. And I canโ€™t have my kiddies growing up without considering these things... I feel quite passionately about it too! You probably ...

November photo challenge day 28 #MummyPhotoaDay

Today’s keyword for the November photo challenge day 28, is “food”.  I love styling up the dining table ready for lots of festive #food… everything just looks so much more tasty when itโ€™s surrounded with garlands and fairy lights! Iโ€™ve probably chosen the most random time to do a meal plan, but Iโ€™m determined that despite Christmas meals and my birthday with the 90 day plan – I will give it my all! Wish me luck… #mummyphotoaday

November photo challenge day 27 #MummyPhotoaDay

November photo challenge day 27 #MummyPhotoaDay

Today's keyword for the November photo challenge day 27, is "moon".  When I think of #moon it takes me back to this moment... I love this photo that Hubby took, my belly just reminds me of a moon with the dark background. I loved my pregnant belly. I have lots of happy memories with my big moon bumps. I used to have hot baths and watch the kids moving around. Sometimes it looked like their feet or hands would pop out of my belly button. #mummyphotoaday VIEW the POST

The November Birchbox is a nutcracker!

The November Birchbox is a nutcracker!

What a beauty of a box we got this month from Birchbox! I am making quite a collection of boxes now and November is by far my favourite. I love Birchbox because it is a fabulous way of discovering new products that are perfect for your beauty regime. Think; make up and cute little samples of creams, masks and lip balm to make you feel a little happier with every box.  VIEW the POST

November photo challenge day 26 #MummyPhotoaDay

Today’s keyword for the November photo challenge day 26, is “dark”.  As the nights are drawing in, to basically make the afternoon seem like an hour in time, Iโ€™m getting very excited about Christmas. The #dark drives home and the chilly weather can only mean itโ€™s right around the corner. Does anyone else love staring up at the stars when the sky is clear? Or get mesmerised by the full moon? #mummyphotoaday
