Pick of the Month: September // Autumn Essentials

1. Autumn art print by oana befort on Etsy / 2. Short welly boots from Hunter / 3. Stormy weather mac from White Stuff / 4. Hat from H&M/ 5. Cookies box from Milliescookies / 6. Checked and floral print neckerchief from Zara / 7. Fox cardigan from Mothercare / 8. Wellies from Mothercare/ 9. Puppy leggings from Asda.

We put aside our summer clothes too early this year. the rain forced us to shop for some new wellies, macs and scarves. We discovered millies cookies once again and my mood has been lifted looking at the amazing Oana Befort’s seasonal illustrations. September you went so quickly we are still catching up with you!

30 Days of Lists // September 2013 // Lists 11-20

And here we are with the next 10 lists for this September. I feel like playing catch up everyday, as my little miss has discovered my yellow box where I keep all my stickers, stamps, washi, scraps, etc which I’m using for this month’s #30lists. And she is utterly obsessed with all of them. Having said so, I have to wait after she goes to bed in the evening to finish off each list and this is causing some delays in taking pictures, posting, etc. I’m planning to get her her own box, with her own supplies so she can play her own #30lists without disrupting mine.
Here are lists 11 to 20.
If you want to know more about this project check 30daysoflists.com; we can still take up on previous lists.
All my previous lists and related posts can be found here. Daily lists will be published on Instagram (here to follow) with the hashtag #30lists and on flickr (here to follow) under the 30daysoflistsgroup.

38/52

It’s week 38 and autumn is now in full swing! 
This week you:
  • Talked and talked and talked. On one afternoon you talked for one hour straight before finally falling down for a nap! It’s fun, but very exhausting.
  • Loved building a fort with a blanket and playing under it with your favourite toys. You loved it so much you cried in the evening when we took it down, and asked to build it again the following day.
  • Were down with high temperature for two days, but it didn’t bother you and played all day long as normal (didn’t even loose your appetite!).
  • Wore a paper crown just long enough for me to snap a picture of you. You enjoyed watching me making one, but the wearing it part was not as funny.
  • Jumped with excitement when I gave you some barbapapa printouts for you to colour. And you have not stopped since!

From last week loving Zack, Vaila and Katie from muckle mum. What an artistic and sweet family!

September

September always brings a renewed energy with it. The days start to get shorter, the evenings are cooler and it feels like you have a second chance to start something new with a fresh and relaxed mind. September it’s the month for planning the rest of the year, thinking about Christmas, deciding which new tv shows to watch, having a wardrobe makeover and a house spring-clean. And it’s the month when you start to slow down again after the hustle and bustle of the summer months.
