At the start of October I spent the weekend in the Cumbria with eight other bloggers. We were invited to stay in Croft House near Loweswater by Sally’s Cottages. Croft House is just one of hundreds of self-catering cottages in the Lake District available to rent through Sally’s Cottages. Read more
The middle of October can only mean one thing – time for another Siblings post! The boys (and me!) have made it through another month of school and nursery since my last Siblings post and now seem to be pretty settled into their new routine. I think we’re all ready for half term next week though! Read more
It’s been a fairly quiet week here, just the usual school and nursery and running errands. We’ve only got one week to go until half term and I think the boys are both ready for a break. I really need to think of some things to fill our time though or it won’t feel like much of a break for me! Read more
A couple of weeks ago I shared my recipe for Apple Sticky Toffee Pudding – it was so delicious and easy to make that I’m sure I’ll be baking it again soon. I still have a freezer full of apples though and I needed some inspiration to make something other than crumble! So I asked some of my fellow bloggers to share some of their favourite apple recipes and they came up with such a variety of different things I wanted to bring them all together in one post.

If you’ve been following my blog for a while then you might know I came up with a (sort of) plan on my 39th birthday to be Fit by 40. Well, I turned 40 in May, and wrote then about how I had got on.

Monday again! Another week done which means it’s time for another Living Arrows post. I was away this weekend in the Lake District with a lovely group of bloggers (I’ll be writing all about it very soon!) so it meant picture taking duty fell to Daddy again this week. Read more
I swear I only wrote last week’s Living Arrows post two minutes ago – I don’t know where the time is going at the moment. I’m sure the boys only just went back to school and nursery but it’s October already, and half term in three weeks! Read more
I can’t believe we’re at the end of September already! This month seems to have gone super quickly. It started with Toby going back to school and Gabe starting at his new nursery, and since then the weeks just seem to have flown by. Read more

My parents have got three apple trees in their garden. They’ve lived in their house since I was 5 so for me, autumn always means apples. I usually just make crumble, but when my dad brought round yet another bag of apples last week I decided to try something new. I fancied something with toffee or caramel, and after a quick Google I found this Sticky Toffee Apple Pudding recipe. It looked easy enough so I gave it a go! Read more
