October Favourites 2014

I think I have loved everything about October. The darker evenings,  all the autumnal activities, half term fun and of course Halloween. Today, I thought I would share with you some of my favourite "things" from this past month. So lets get cracking!

Our Halloween 2014

Our Halloween was nice and quiet again this year. If I'm honest I'm not sure how I feel about halloween, I don't like the idea of Trick or Treating - I know strange right?! But knocking on random peoples doors asking for sweets... I just don't feel comfortable doing that! So, instead I have decided to take the stance that we do get involved, but its something nice we do for our neighbours by giving them treats. 

We spent the morning carving pumpkins, Darcie liked to scrap the seeds and mulch out which me and Daddy carved!

It is suitable for sensitive skin and has been formulated to reduce the risk of skin allergies. The range includes;

My Thoughts

Sprucing up the Bedroom

Gorgeous designs from Linens Direct.

I'm always wanting to update various parts of our home, pinning away all my ideas on Pinterest. But, lets face it, all those ideas and dreams soon mount up and my bank account soon brings me back to reality! However, there are some really inexpensive ways that you can spruce up rooms in your home. One room, which is actually very easy to update, is the bedroom.

P.Y.O at White House Farm, Norfolk

This afternoon we spent some quality time as a family, wandering around orchards and pumpkin patches at White House Farm, Norfolk. I had been searching for a place to take Darcie for a while now, and managed to stumble upon this this place online. I'm so glad I did, because its such a wonderful little find.

Life Lately // Instagram

The last week or some have been pretty lovely. I have been fairly quite on the blog front, but I've been taking quick snaps over on my Instagram to share with you all.

Welcome to October Half Term!

Its that time of year again, October half term! October half term is one of my favourite breaks, it feels like its the most needed out of all the holidays through the year. Any other teachers agree? I'm looking forward to spending it with family and friends and of course getting ready for Halloween! We haven't got many days out planned, we wanted to just go with the flow and see where the week takes us. I think sometimes its better that way.

#DolceGustoBloggers // Ristretto Ardenza

Ok, its another coffee post... Is it safe to say I'm an addict now?! He he he, ok, I'm not quite an addict as I only have one coffee drink a day - but I certainly can appreciate good coffee. Today I am introducing you to Nescafe Dolce Gusto's latest addition, Ristretto Ardenza. I was very kindly sent this beautiful hamper of goodies, including this latest release, to test drive.
