The trees are now very nearly naked, the temperatures already have dipped below zero and (*whispers*) Christmas is only a month away, so I figured I should probably share these before this season ends...

A certain someone just found out that she received a 2:1 for her Masters degree dissertation! 🎉👩‍🎓

Sophie - we are all so ridiculously proud of you. You have worked incredibly hard, under immensely challenging circumstances over the last two years and to have achieved this result is fantastic.
.
The dedication and resilience you've shown (even when it's been intermingled with late nights, tears and doubts) is something that you can take forwards with you into your future - you can do anything you put your mind to and we can't wait to see you create and bring to life the vision that you have.

Well done kiddo ❤️ @xsophie.jamesx

Decisions, decisions... . All three girls are in t

Decisions, decisions...
.
All three girls are in the midst of having big decisions to make. L is on the cusp of choosing which A levels to study and whether to stay at sixth form or move to college. M is to-ing and fro-ing between which universities to apply for. And E is figuring out who to live with (and where) during her second year at uni.
.
There have been late-night phone conversations; hours and hours spent researching different options; flurries of WhatsApp messages; tears; smiles; multiple pros-and-cons lists and lots of going round in circles.
.
I fully trust that each of them will make the choices that are right for them - I'm just here cheering them on and supporting them all as best as I can.
.
Sending love to anyone else who is deep in a season of transitions and big life changes. It's a wild ride, but it's worth it. Hang in there.

A few days ago, an email from a newsletter I subscribe to landed in my inbox with the subject heading "What's a story you want to be able to tell ten years from now...?"
.
...And I haven't been able to stop thinking about it ever since.
.
I thought I'd open up the question to all of you. So, what story would YOU like to be able to tell ten years from now?

Late night baking session...

Her signature chocolate brownies, specifically requested by her teacher for a school fundraiser 😋

(And yes, she was watching Netflix at the same time - she is an expert at multi-tasking!)
