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!

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
