A Very Merry Blog On Xmas 2017

by RachelSwirl September 27, 2017

As you may have already read in past posts I travelled down early on Sunday morning to Old Trafford in Manchester to take part in one of the UK’s biggest Blogger/ Vlogger events ‘Blog On Xmas‘. The Hotel Football Having arrived early I found parking on a nearby street and hauled my oversized suitcase into The Hotel Football where I was given a pre-printed name badge, stickers and a canvas bag in which to collect brand samples throughout the day. After becoming accustomed to the layout of the Hotel I found somewhere to stick my luggage then made my way down…

#LivingArrows – Savouring Every Moment 39/52 (2017)

by RachelSwirl September 25, 2017

After what I can only describe as a whirlwind of a weekend both the kids and us adults are utterly exhausted.

It’s only been a fortnight and already our little lady has settled into School like a duck to water, she seems far more independent these days even mastering the art of wiping…

For those of you that aren’t in the know ‘Blog On’ is one of the best blogging conferences which is held in Manchester twice annually. Having been to Blog On once before I am at least familiar with the setup and location of the conference and am really excited about heading back to the Museum of Science and Industry to catch up with fellow bloggers, meet further bloggers, to network with brands and of course to learn even more about something which I…

Flexible Working Hours To Ease The Pressure On The Quality Of Family Life

by RachelSwirl February 15, 2017

Flexible Working Hours To Ease The Pressure On The Quality Of Family Life As a mother of a young family, a lot changes and invariably, from time to time, sacrifices have to be made… Or do they? Many women are starting to realise that, instead of sacrificing the career they had before they became parents, this particular time of their lives, actually presents an opportunity: The possibility of combining the fresh challenges of parenthood with new and exciting possibilities in their professional lives has never been a more realistic goal for new mothers. As a parent, flexibility is the key…
