I had a gorgeous bimble on Haresfield Beacon with

I had a gorgeous bimble on Haresfield Beacon with the boys yesterday. We parked at our favourite Standish Woods and walked the 30 minutes to the top. We took a wrong path at one point and had to scramble like mountain goats up the side of the hill (absolutely the highlight, such fun!). While Euan and I took some pictures on the trig point Luca took himself off to admire the view.
.
The boys were amazing with running around and walking all the way back too. They didn't complain until the final uphill stretch but rightly so as it was hard going. It's so good to get outside and it's a long time since my body has felt hot and our of breath from exertion!

Expect this to be my look from now on! Totally di

Expect this to be my look from now on! Totally digging my Soundcore wireless, noise cancelling headphones. I mostly listen to Audible books, sometimes music, but think I may well just wear these to shut out the day to day noise 😆

Thank you so much for all my gorgeous birthday mes

Thank you so much for all my gorgeous birthday messages. It means so much to me that you took a moment out of your day to ring, write or visit.
.
We were blessed with sunshine for our walk on Stinchcombe Hill. The boys loved the bunkers on the golf course and we were able to get some gorgeous food to take out afterwards from @leafandground (such a treat to be cooked for). Of course the best birthday present was bunking off school work for the day! (For Euan that is, I'm now cracking open my anatomy folder for an hour for tomorrow's college session while G gets the boys to bed).

Last week I felt overwhelmed, exhausted and frustr

Last week I felt overwhelmed, exhausted and frustrated. Home schooling children while trying to fulfil all my other commitments wasn't working out so well. I realised this when robbing from my sleep bank resulted in the tell tale headaches that lead to a migraine.
.
This week, with the start of a new month, I resolved to prioritise rest (everything gets ugly on rubbish sleep!). I need 8 hours sleep. I need quiet time to stretch (without children climbing on me or asking for food!). I need to walk in nature. I need to connect with people outside my family, as Nic, not always as Mum to Euan and Luca. And sometimes I need to moan, to stop holding everything, to let the stagnant energy out and the fresh loving energy in.
.
I drew up a list of what supports a headache free life and started ticking things off (I did this on day 3 so have no guilt about those blank boxes at the start of the month!). I'm resolved to keep up the ticks. I expect there will be days with gaps (like today's rain thwarting a nature walk) but I'm ok with that too.
.
The day I drew up my tracker I also decided to draw a cards from my Lunar cycle oracle cards deck and the Universe has your back. I think they confirmed I'm on the right track. Taking care of your body can never be a bad option to go with!!!

Mumma got the clippers out!
I expect Luca's hair looks a wonky mess on top but hey ho.

We were all so happy to have woken to snow today.

We were all so happy to have woken to snow today. Last time the boys played in the yard in PJs and boots first thing and an hour later it had all melted.
.
Snow doesn't stick in the city so today we found a hill. George's Dad had made the boys a sledge from an old car seat. What fab recycling 😊🛷

It may be really slow progress but another anatomy

It may be really slow progress but another anatomy unit ticked off this morning on the path to becoming an Aromatherapist. Thank you Cotswold Academy for the great tuition and online support.
.
I'm grateful for my essential oils to help with concentration and focus. I need them today as I'll be sitting my Infection Control exam online later as well. Hoorah for not having to travel anywhere though #silverlinings

Home learning was less painful today after spendin

Home learning was less painful today after spending some time crafting first. Euan loves Dav Pilkey's Dogman books and in the back of the latest one Grime and Punishment are instructions for making your own lunch bag monster. Euan just got straight onto making his monster and I enjoyed making Luca's. Munchy then went on a rampage at the park 😆

Home learning might be a headache but no objection

Home learning might be a headache but no objections here to easy dinner inspired by Euan's Ancient Greeks theme (none of it home made or ancient!).
Thank you Lidl! #standardsslipping 🙈

I've spent the weekend mostly indoors attending Weleda training and preparing for Euan's birthday tomorrow. So here's a few pics of a very muddy walk this week at Barnwood Arboretum which included hugging a giant redwood tree 🌳💚

Seeking meal planning inspo. What are your favour

Seeking meal planning inspo. What are your favourite recipes to cater for all tastes and ages?
The open book is the Bosch recipe book so really interested in vegetarian/vegan suggestions too x

We went for the muddiest walk today but it was so

We went for the muddiest walk today but it was so good to get outside. Luca did a spectacular welly boot save when the mud suckered it off but he managed to land his foot back inside it without falling over. The boys were wet through by the time we got back to the car. They soon warmed up at Grandad's sat in pants watching cartoons and eating crisps. A pretty stellar day all in all!

Running off some steam after a few days indoors.

Running off some steam after a few days indoors. We're lucky to live in a fab city where historic sites, green spaces and waterways are all within a 20 minute walk from home. It seemed the perfect day for getting a few pics to round off the 2020 album. According to G the days of "normal" smiles in photos are long gone. We live with a pair of comedians!

Starting a new Christmas tradition with a 1000 pie

Starting a new Christmas tradition with a 1000 piece puzzle. Turns out the tube makes it really tricky to look at the picture and the pieces are pretty small. Could be here a while - see you in January!

One of the jobs I didn't get round to before Chris

One of the jobs I didn't get round to before Christmas was freeing up space on my phone for photos 🙈. So rationed to just one picture you get 50% of the Moorey's wishing you a Merry Christmas. Sending love and hugs out to all corners of the world and sharing the stories of Christmas past to remember those no longer with us. Lots of love x

Not your usual shopping list for Christmas Eve eve

Not your usual shopping list for Christmas Eve eve but loss has been such a big part of this year and the opportunity to remember loved ones together is so comforting. We don't have candles at home since a near accident with a cat tail many moons ago so Luca and I dashed off into the rain this morning to get some beautiful vegan plant wax candles from @idunspirit . We'll join the circle of light remembering loved ones tomorrow at 7pm.
.
My Mum passed away peacefully at @sueryderleckhampton 2 years ago and I was touched by the idea of a shared remembrance on Christmas Eve. I bought a candle for my Dad and dear friend who will be missing her Mum too.
.
Sending love and courage to all who are heavy hearted missing loved ones this Christmas. Especially to those who are missing a parent, sibling or child. 3 friends have lost Dad's in the last week and the pain of wondering how to make sense of life without them is the journey they now face. Lean in to support and feel all the feels. Huge hugs dear ones x
.
(Please comment below if you're remembering someone. The boys have asked to join me to remember Nana as well as their beloved cats Poppet and Mikey and we'd happily include a tribute to your loved ones in our thoughts)
