August recap | 2024


August has honestly been such a lovely month, full of making memories before the big change happens. 

We started off with a trip to the beach with Olivias scooter and Lillys roller blades, they both did amazing and Lils confidence is growing each time she tries them. I also took the girls to enjoy there first knicker bocker glory, one of the memories I have with my Mum which I am now passing down. 

Lils took part in Hastings carnival this year with my Dad and Angie and absolutely smashed it. They did a steam punk theme which looked awesome, Liam joined us in watching the parade and it was just such a lovely day. 

We have spent many days at the bench enjoying the waves and whilst down there thr girls took part in the summer reading challenge too which meant they got lots of goodies. The beach is a happy place for me, the sun and sound of the waves is honestly just the best. 

One of Liams days off we took the girls to our local rides, I think Olivia would have loved if the rides were a little faster as she is such a date devil but she still seemed to enjoy them. Me and Lils went of a couple of the bigger rides which now makes me a nervous wreck now I'm older. 

The last week has involved soft play with both the girls, summer school for Lils, Olivias lest day of nursery and a day of swimming and dinosaurs with Olivia in which I got eaten by the dinosaur. 

It has honestly been an incredible summer holidays and I am sad that they are coming to an end but I am excited for September with the start of my new job tomorrow, Lils starting secondary this week, my 33rd birthday on Thursday and Olivia starting primary too. Thrre are so many big things and I am not quote sure how my emotions will handle it.

I hope you had an amazing August.

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal.  I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata  1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1.

Autumn Tag

Hello, I thought that today I would take part in the Autumn tag so you can all get to know me a little better, I took part in this on my old blog many years back and a lot has changed since. Autumn has to be my favourite season with so much change and the excitement for Christmas not far ahead. 1. What signifies the start of Autumn for you? I know Autumn starts at the end of September but for me its the first of November when it starts to officially feel like Autumn, it all of the sudden feels different and colder after Halloween and especially when the clocks go back too. 2. What is your favourite Autumn scent? My favourite autumn scents are either Orange or berries, they always make the house smell so warm and toasty in wax melt form and I love them in a hand cream or even a bubble bath scent too around this time of year.. 3. What is your favourite Autumn colour? My favourite Autumn colour has to be the burnt orange for the leaves but burgundy colour for clothing, the are just very w
