September Lists

Hellooo my pretty petals,

Oh 2014 you are rushing by so quickly, after a glorious 6 weeks off It is officially the start of a new term at work. The smell of new shoes walking through the door, the new school bags and the battle of who has the coolest new pencil cases. I love my job for all its quirks.

I saw over on the lovely Louise's blog that she wrote a September post where she wrote one of her famous lists which expressed what she wanted to do in this lovely month and it got me thinking what would I like to do this month? So ta-dah! Here is what I have come up with so far.

__________

1. Baking. The smell of freshly baked anything is enough to make me hungry. I am determined to get some baking practice in before the madness of October arrives. I'm picturing fresh baked biscuits wrapped in pretty papers will make the cutest Christmas gifts for colleagues.

2. Sunday Bootsale. I want to go to another boot sale before they finish, I know It sounds lame but it reminds me of my childhood and I always find a hidden gem or two.

3. Hot chocolates. Perfect drink all year round when I have a sweet tooth, but as of September I can officially be naughty and top it with cream and a flake. I'm craving my first one of the year already!

4. Read. A bookshelf with books on is one of the most comforting things. The feel & the smell of a new fresh book. (I sound crazy now) but I miss reading, I read blogs everyday but I want to get lost in a story and feel ties to the characters. I have 4 unread books on my shelf and I am determined to read them by Christmas day. A challenge I happily accept.

5. Girls time. A day of shopping and countless "Do you like this?" is just glorious to me, simply going in a changing room and trying on silly outfits. Who said you and your best friend are ever too old to laugh out loud?

6. Nephew time. After a summer filled  with cheeky paddling pool madness and feeding them too many treats its safe to say I need more nephew time. They are forever making me giggle and I will never get tired of them saying "We love you Auntie Hannah" Can you hear my heart just burst.

7. Me time. I'm talking bubble baths, candles, books, magazines, painted nails, icecream and Gossip Girl. Need I say more?

8. Home Décor. I have an unhealthy love with Pinterest and pinning my house ideas onto a board or two. My current project is the staircase and creating a collage of photo's and lovely things to make it feel more homely. A blog post may just be in order. Watch this space...

9. Christmas Lists. Yes I said it, Christmas. With so many people to think about, its important I start early. Food list, card list, present list.  Believe it or not I've already started my present shopping but before you think I'm crazy, they've all been sale items and so far I have saved a huge £200!!!

10. Photographs. This month I intend on capturing the little things, all the moments that have captured my heart, made me smile or even made me laugh. These are the things I want to remember.

So that is that, my top 10 things to do in September, What do you want to do this month?
