October is one of my most favoured months of the year, I adore Autumn and all that goes with and within the season. Here are a few of the things which I have ‘Liked and Loved’ throughout this past month. Creepy Costumes & Halloween The kids were so excited about Halloween this year, they love to dress up as ghouls, ghosts, witches and wizards. They took next to no time to get into their ghoulish gear ready for trick and treating around the local area. Decorating There’s plenty of decorating that Paul and I need to get done around …
The kids went back to school today, it was a bit of a shock to the system for us all. Thankfully the day seemed to fly by and judging by my lack of energy this evening, routine and normality have evidently returned. With Halloween just around the corner we are almost on the countdown to Christmas and I for one cannot wait.

Half term has come to a close and whilst we haven’t done an awful lot, I’ve really enjoyed being at home and having a break.

It feels incredibly cold compared to …
Have you ever stopped to think just what it is that makes you unique? As I slumped (yet again) unsuccessfully seeking sleep, it crossed my mind just how different we all are. We each have individual tastes and particular traits which makeup our individual characters and personalities. Here are a few of the bonkers and bizarre things which I do on a daily basis which make me – me! I cuddle a cushion each and every night in bed, this helps to relieve pain in my elbow following a break earlier this year. I remove my rings (including my engagement …
Unlike most families that fit as much as is humanly possible into their holidays, we’ve spent the half term doing as little as possible. Whilst I had all kinds of plans to go out here, there and everywhere I realised that rest was far more important. Having spent the week at home, E is finally on the road to recovery and I too feel a little better for having had a breather. The kids have been kept entertained with a range of autumn and Halloween based crafts, baking and such-like. I am far from a flawless parent, but I certainly …
