Oh November, you were beautiful, full of bright blue skies, sunshine and that cold snap which takes your breath away but leaves you feeling all excited for the festive season that is fast approaching. Last month I remember struggling with the darker mornings and evenings, with daylight disappearing by 4pm it really did take some adjusting to. I feel like I have just about got a grip on things, which has resulted in us completely slowing down at weekends and fuelled on eggnog latte and ginger loaf.
What can I tell you about our adventures in November? Well, just like the month of October we have most definitely made the most of our family time, with the highlight being a trip to the seaside – the perfect break away for our little family. The sea air, long walks through the sand dunes and hot tea in our beach hut.
From gorgeous Autumn walks around the lake at Trentham Gardens clasping a hot chocolate, seeking out the pumpkins on a Halloween trail, riding the master blaster at Splash Landings, watching the most spectacular fireworks display at Alton Towers followed by lazy Sunday mornings and movie afternoons. We escaped to the seaside, visiting our favourite coastal town – Lytham St Anne’s for a long weekend. We were so lucky with the weather – completely blessed by the blue skies and sunshine for our stay. A break we all needed after some sad news about a friend of the family.
I love this monthly project, for no other reason than looking back through my camera roll and remembering those little moments ordinary in themselves, and sometimes the ones which disappear amongst the big ones. Every moment matters. And so here are a few words and photo’s from our month…
I said it last month and in fear of sounding like a broken record time really is whizzing by. I can’t quite believe that Christmas is so very close. The end of 2017 which has been a pretty fantastic year for our little family. And for that reason I will continue to capture his childhood as I am very aware that one day these days will be gone and I will be left with a teenager who won’t want to run through the sand dunes with me.

I’m Kerri-Ann or KA as my friends call me, always found with a cup of coffee in one hand and my camera in the other. I have a huge passion for photography, fitness, fashion and family travel. I started this blog in 2014. It began as my creative outlet after becoming a mummy to our little boy George Archie. I started out blogging about parenting and over the years it has evolved into a blog that covers lifestyle, fashion, family and travel. Today TheKAEdit is ultimately a life and style blog. Thank you for reading x x
I just adore your photos this month, a mixture of all of the things I love about November – fireworks, walks, family and a hint of Christmas – although I have 2 birthdays on the 30th which means Christmas is banned until afterwards. Thanks for running this lovely link up x
Aww you do? Thanks so much Sherry. Ooh yes I can imagine you separate the two, we do afterwards as have two celebrations very quickly after Christmas Day x
Such lovely, happy, sunshine-y photos! I love how you manage to get away for the weekend most months – that’s something I really aspire to as when we’re at home we rarely actually DO anything and I get so frustrated thinking I’ve wasted a perfectly lovely weekend of family time. I’m already looking forward to your December adventures 🙂
Aww thank you, we were most definitely lucky with the weather. Have a great month
Gorgeous autumnal shots lovely, I love the mix of everything from beaches to Christmas Trees! Thanks for having me x #MyFamilyAdventures

Thank you Amelia, so sweet of you to say. I do love each monthly round up but for different reasons x
