It's this one's turn for exams now - Y10 GCSE Mock

It's this one's turn for exams now - Y10 GCSE Mocks. This season has felt utterly relentless and we're all counting down the days to the summer holidays... (32, in case you were wondering!) 🥴

At least she's got Felix keeping her company and helping her out with her revision 🐈‍⬛

🌿 F R E E D O M 🌿
.
She had her final A-Level exam on Friday afternoon, and is now done with college and compulsory education forever.
.
The last two years have gone ridiculously fast and I'm so proud of who she's become. Her confidence has grown, she's worked incredibly hard in all of her subjects, and she's challenged herself with many, many things.
.
What next? Just the small matter of Results Day in August and then watching her fly the nest when she heads off to uni in September... 😳😭🫶

It's the face on the balloon and the party hat perched on the vacuum cleaner that make me giggle 😂

⭐️S E V E N T E E N⭐️
.
A certain someone turned 17 just over a week ago and I still can't quite believe it.
.
Celebrations lasted all month: she went to see her favourite band @theksofficial ; she had a sleepover at her best friend's house (where there was zero actual sleeping and a lot of 2am baking); and we went out for dinner as a family. Balloons and cards and gifts and a whole lot of love.
.
@mimirose_12 I feel so incredibly lucky that I get to be your Mum (or 'mom' as you prefer to say) - you bring so much joy and fun to our lives. Your insane artistic talent amazes me every single day and whilst I may never fully understand your obsession with Criminal Minds (I do try!), hearing you laugh and seeing you smile is one of my most favourite things on earth. Keep on being exactly who you are - we love you more than you'll ever know ❤️ 🫶

(Swipe for the silly photos - my favourites!)
