Life in the Fast lane - Autumn

Sorry guys I have neglected this little blog lately. I have been ill and not had the heart to sit down and write anything at the end of the day. I am a lot better now but have been busy busy busy with work and life and just so so tired. I think I had glandular fever but had trouble getting to the doctors so I gave up trying. I think its the nurse in me that refuses help when ill. 

Life has gone so quick lately can not believe were nearly at Christmas and were not ready. Here is some pictures of some Autumn adventures we have been on. Late nights at the park, soggy walks in the country and foggy walks at the seaside. 

The toddlers have been loving Autumn this year, kicking the leaves and forever forcing me to stash leaves in my bags and pockets. My eldest has had enough of me harping on about the different colour leaves. I really have loved the different colours this year its like I have never noticed it before. I never understood all the fuss but this year it was if my eyes were opened. I noticed all the beauty around us, it has been a wonderful Autumn.

We had a lovely few days at the In laws in Norfolk, they live in the middle of nowhere and we literally did nothing for a few days. It was good to not have plans sit around drinking hot tea whilst the children play. They loved it just as much as my husband had been away it was the first time we had been all together for a long time.

Below is a picture from our really long dog walk. My husband fell down a ditch and we got a bit lost. Thankfully the dog knew the way home and we got in the warm again. The kids were covered in mud but happy.

 Hopefully will get back on the blogging ball, Ive been wondering where I am wanting to go with this little blog. I am unsure I love writing but fail to find the time to do a good job a lot of the time. Maybe this blog will not be as regular as before and more of a diary of my little family who knows. My last photo is me and Ami walking home the other day it was so foggy and strange. She loved it though it did take us along time but nice to spend some time as us girls. She kept on singing "Best Friends forever" Very sweet.

SO that is us for the time being lots of adventures outside before it gets too cold.

Cushions on a budget = The Home Collective - Autumn 2014 -

One thing I love is interior design, from cushion covers to kitchen tops I love it all. So I am starting an interior series on the blog to add some of my favorites I have seen online and in stores.

This week I am starting with some Cushions, I personally love cushions and being super savvy you can transform a room with a few little touches. Here are some cushions I have found and love. 

I really like this cushion from some of the great range at H&M, I love H&M home ware always good value and really last well, This cushion comes in four different colours and is only £3.99 such a bargain.  

Another love of mine is Ikea not only are they really not expensive but they are modern and right on trend. I love these colours and it retails at £10 (which is one of the more expensive items). So here is your excuse to get those meatballs and random bits for your house. 

Another fabulous cushion from H&M  bang on trend with animal print this season. This one is mad of linen and retails at £12.99. 

Looking for that autumnal piece to perk up those darker evenings, then look no further than one of Ikea's beautiful cushions and the best thing they are only £4 what a bargain!

This rather jazz cushion is my most expensive in the feature this week coming in at £25 and it shows one of the wonderful John Lewis cushions. It is great for young people going of to university, teenage bedroom or even a study.

Another one of H&M's £3.99 cushion collection, comes in a variety of colours and great quality (I know that as I have a few on my sofa!)

For some reason I do love this cushion, and its from good old Wilkos for just £8. I love the look and the texture and such a bargain too. 

So here is this weeks cushion collection watch out for next weeks Autumn Lamp Collection.
