🥂 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.⁣
⁣
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.

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? ⁣
