New Beginnings

-
Since arriving home from Europe, i've been feeling so overwhelmed by the changes in my life. It's certainly been an exciting, but emotional few weeks.



The major change is that after 4 years of homeschooling, Luke started high school last week. Although we'd planned that he would go, it was still tougher than I expected. I walked with him on the first morning, and as I stood at the school gates watching him walk up the drive way of the school, I couldn't hold back the tears. It was a tough moment. I walked away from the school that morning contemplating what a big change this meant for us. However, he seems to be settling in well and is still my happy little man who loves cuddles and snuggling up together to read or watch a dvd. Those moments seem even more precious now. 


Then a few days later I got had a job interview for a part time job in a health food shop. I was wanting something which would fit in around the boys, and my studies and setting up my business. This was 20 hours a week so it would be perfect. I hadn't had a job interview for over 6 years, so I was quite nervous. I set off early to catch the train and sat on the platform trying to calm my nerves. I managed to find a seat on the crowded train and read a book on crystal healing until I arrived in Leeds. 

I had my interview, which went really well, and a few hours later I received the phone call to say i'd got the job. I was very excited, as well as slightly anxious. This meant more changes, and I felt so overwhelmed I actually cried myself to sleep that night. 

I'm feeling much more positive about everything now. I've been busy making plans on how to fit everything in and it seems to all be coming together nicely. I start my new job next week, and it will be an amazing opportunity as I get to take part in training courses in natural health which is something i'm so passionate about. 

I have a few days to myself each week where I can focus on studying and working hard to finish my courses, as well as setting up my business.

There are so many exciting things happening and I know if I keep believing, everything will be just fine.

Beauty In The Lakes & Eating Raw In London

It's been a while since I posted an update as life has been so busy with lots of exciting things happening. At the end of September we spent 3 days in the Lake District for our friends wedding. It was a beautiful place and we had a really lovely time.  We stayed in a gorgeous little house which was part of a B&B in a little village near Ullswater.  On the first morning, the boys went outside to explore and found a deer in the field next to us. They spent ages watching it, whilst Luke also made friends with the B&B owners cat. Dylan managed to get a few photos which look amazing. He was so happy. The wedding was beautiful and the boys looked very handsome. We had a lovely time, ate lovely food, took a book ride around the Ullswater and met some lovely people. The evening ended with a lot of dancing which Luke particularly enjoyed. And of course, as I was surrounded by beautiful flowers, trees and lakes, I had to sneak ...

My Photography Project

I've had a week off work this week and time for a much needed rest. There's been so many amazing things happening this year and i'm feeling so grateful for everything. The only down side to this is that I don't always get the chance to follow my creative passions as much as i'd like. So this week has given me the chance to reconnect with my love of photography and i've decided it's time for a new creative project.  So many things have inspired me to do this. I've been reading some of my favourite photography books and a few days ago I watched one of my favourite films Yes Man. In this film Zooey Deschanels character goes out for a run at 6am every morning with a group of people and her camera, taking photos and getting exercise. I love this idea and i'm planning to create my own version of this. I want to spend more time outdoors with my camera. I have some good opportunities to take some lovely photos over the next few weeks with trip...

Creating My Raw Food Kitchen

Yesterday, I received a parcel with my new dehydrator and spiralizer, as well as soon other raw kitchen supplies. I've been wanting a dehydrator for well over a year, and finally decided that now is the right time.  I was very excited to say the least.  I went for a Stockli, which i've heard is really good, so i'm looking forwards to lots of creative time in the kitchen over the next few weeks. Today, Luke and I tried out the spiralizer, which was a bit more complicated than we expected, but we did get the hang of it eventually.  We made carrot and courgette spaghetti, and had that with salad, apple, cashew nuts and olives.  Tomorrow i'm hoping to make some raw crackers or kale chips  I'm looking forwards to experimenting and coming up with some new recipes. I've also been enjoying lots of juices, and this one was delicious - Orange, Carrot and Ginger. It's lovely first thing on a morning as it helps you to feel really ene...
