School mornings can be a race against the clock to get out on time. I try to organise the kids out the door 5 minutes earlier than we really need to, allowing enough time to stroll. Walking hand in hand take in the Autumn days dewy beginnings. Taking time to stop and let the snails pass, count the cobwebs draped between the fences, kick the piles of crisp leaves.

I’ll be sure to have a large tote bag to throw everything the kids need for their day so my hands are free to hold theirs and we’re ready to go. Hats are becoming my school run go to, they can lift any outfit and give you one less thing to have to worry about fixing up in the morning. Once I’m home I can add a matte red lip and this Mumma’s ready for the day ahead.
