Mum life, with a dash of ADHD for good measure.
I love this time of the year and being able to completely justify making soup. This dairy free pumpkin soup is a family favourite and is a great way to use up pumpkin flesh too. You can also make it with any kind of squash, or butternut, as well.

With Halloween looming and pumpkins a plenty, or you just like this time of year and love eating pumpkin, then why not roast the seeds?
They make a delicious and healthy snack and are one bit of a pumpkin you can definitely use and reduce food waste.

I’m not a fan of thin pancakes and prefer fluffier American style instead. Because we have a coeliac in our house, I make them #glutenfree

I don’t think anyone likes the stomach bug, but for me, it’s incredibly triggering and makes me anxious beyond what is normal.

Trigger warning, I’m going to be talking about my father’s death, grief and life after the loss of a parent, the second time round. Bear in mind that I lost my mother when I was 18, and that I also have a slightly dark sense of humour to cope with grief.
