Good morning, my loves. In this cozy Hello Autumn day in the life, I’m sharing a real, rainy-at-home rhythm with my four little loves here in South East England. It’s proper chilly, perfect autumn weather, and after a bit of a chaotic school run (with some very big feelings), I slow down with a hot coffee, a snuggle, and a to-do list that’s honestly… very ambitious. I take you through my same-day focaccia (the one my brother is obsessed with), a full kitchen reset because the mess was stressing me out, and a proper declutter of our “baby cupboard” so all the newborn bits aren’t taking over the sides. I also chat openly about my insomnia—how Bella can sleep through and yet I’m still waking up in the night—and where I’m at with trying to live more holistically, especially heading into winter. You’ll come with me to Sainsbury’s for puff pastry (and a very tempting but successful no-spend browse in the autumn aisle), then back home for baking, breastfeeding Bella down for a nap, and a little life update: Marley starting secondary school, my one-day-a-week teaching contract, and our moving plans (still happening, just not rushed). We finish with the after-school run, a simple family dinner, and the gentle, grounded routines that make motherhood feel both real and romantic.
