I have a serious back to school feeling going on the moment. Most notably because my little Molly started first school this week. It’s been pretty momentous but I’m pleased to report she smashed it. She even got the ‘Star Of The Week‘ award which led to a very proud mummy moment. Molly however was more excited about the chocolate cake reward she got to share with the headmistress. It was “deeeeeelicious”. Alice has also managed her first full day at pre school which was no mean feat. She did have five, yes five, meltdowns in the playground afterwards but we did it!

So as September creeps on I thought I’d share a few things I’m looking forward to this month.

  • I’m going to be making the most of these last fleeting days of sunshine. Playing out in the garden, trips to the park and a few more ice creams are definitely on the agenda. I love the garden at the moment as it is full of so much yumminess. Apples, raspberries and an abundance of tomatoes await me each day. I may have already made a few too many Apple crumbles!
  • I’m looking forward to stocking up on some new knitwear as the cooler days draw in. I’m eyeing up this long grey cardigan from M&S but am also on the hunt for a nice chunky jumper. I may already have raided the Mini Boden knitwear section for the girls. Far too much cuteness.
  • Me time is always in short supply round here but I’ve decided that this month I’m going to treat myself to a nice spa treatment. I’m in serious need of a massage. Lugging Alice around and general motherhood has given me some serious knots. Do you think I can get away with a full spa day? Maybe every month?
  • I always find I start hunkering down as September arrives and feel the need to get the house all cosy ready for the winter. I fancy a few new cushions and maybe some new lamps in the lounge so am taking inspiration from Lauren’s Autumn purchases over on Rock My Style. I may even get my knitting needles back out and make some new throws to snuggle under.
  • Finally, the big RMLtd event this month is our very own Adam’s wedding to the lovely Lizzie. It’s going to be super fancy (well what else would you expect from the Creative Director of a wedding blog?). I’m also on wedding cake duty so no pressure. Now to start the dreaded task of finding an outfit. I currently have a stockpile of metallic pleated skirts from Zara which are waiting for the perfect top to help me in my decision making. So far I have not been successful so if anyone has seen any wedding outfits I really must check out then send them my way.

    What are you all up to in September? Anything fun planned?
