As our late Queen said, \u201cWhen life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.\u201d And so, the show must go on, no matter what hardships we are facing, stay strong, seek support from your friends and family and get the help that you need to keep going. This especially applies to us Mums, with a billion things on our to-do list it can seem overwhelming. The latter part of the year is a really busy time of year for me so I am taking each day as it comes, working through my to do list. Even if I manage one or two tasks, I\u2019ve realised that that\u2019s ok.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Autumn is undoubtedly my favourite season. The scenery is spectacular and so atmospheric; the burnt orange leaves, pumpkin spiced lattes (with oat milk), Halloween fun and the many upcoming birthdays. First and foremost, I\u2019ve got my son\u2019s 5th<\/sup> Birthday party to plan. When going through the school year group contact list of course he said he wanted to invite every single person, he simply couldn\u2019t pick and choose. I don\u2019t know if I am really proud or filled with dread at the thought of 35 screaming kids in Halloween fancy dress! All jokes aside we are very lucky that he has such lovely year group, and I am even luckier for having such wonderful Mum friends that I look forward to catching up with at pick up and drop off and the odd night out (which was a Mums on the loose situation and shall never be spoken about again!)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next is Halloween. I love to decorate the house with things that are fun but still tasteful. I have found that the best place for ornamental decorations is TK Max! I\u2019ve always loved a bit of TK Max but I feel like each year they are getting more and more stock of Halloween items and it really excites me. Of course, you need to go now because by mid-October a lot of the stock is already gone. It can be overwhelming trying to find things to do in the holidays. Parents and grandparents fear not, I am going to share with you my top tried and tested places to take the kids this October half term:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I would recommend to get booked asap as these events usually sell out fast. Whatever you get up to this Halloween, have a Spooktacular time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As our late Queen said, \u201cWhen life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future.\u201d And so, the show must go on, no matter what hardships we are facing, stay strong, seek support from your friends and family and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7128,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
