My Ten Targets for 2025

by RachelSwirl January 1, 2025

It’s the start of a brand new year and with that, it’s time for me to write a brand new list of targets for the next twelve months ahead. Whilst I spent great time writing out fifteen targets for 2024, I’ve decided to make things a little more achievable this year by lowering my own expectations and limiting myself to ‘ten targets for 2025’. Redecorate our bedroom in tones of silver, add a white-wash wooden floor, and furnish it with a new bed and built-in wardrobes. Refurnish and redecorate our ensuite Recarpet the stairs Board out, tidy, and sort the…

Looking Back At My Targets For 2024

by RachelSwirl January 1, 2025

As always, on New Year’s Day, I like to look back at the targets I set for myself for the previous year, check off my achievements, and then set a whole new set of goals for the year ahead. So without further ado, let’s see what I did… or didn’t get done in 2024: Make time for self-care through activities such as reading, journalling, and relaxation wherever possible Learn a new recipe or two with our new Air Fryer Enjoy more time out and about rather than being a hermit in the house Spend time with friends Continue to learn…

My Targets For 2024

by RachelSwirl January 1, 2024

So here it is, the New Year has arrived. Let’s hope that 2024 gives us all the opportunity for a clean slate, new beginnings, and a fresh set of goals for the year ahead. Whilst 2023 was somewhat of a rollercoaster of a year, I chose to focus on the ups rather than the downs thus I’ll remember 2023 as the year that our little family made a whole heap of forever memories, together, as we enjoyed what was the holiday of a lifetime. Despite the difficulties and the down points that we endured throughout that time, I’m proud to…

Looking Back At My Targets For 2023

by RachelSwirl December 31, 2023

Each year I put together a list of targets and goals for the year ahead. This time twelve months ago I wrote my ‘targets for 2023‘ and I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on that list and identify what was (or perhaps was not) achieved before I write another list for the new year ahead. So here’s what I said I’d aim to achieve in 2023 – let’s see how I/ we did… Repaint and re-carpet E’s room with a gold/ red Harry Potter theme Refurnish E’s room with IKEA Kallax-style storage (to replace her outdated pink/ white kiddy-style…

My Targets For 2023

by RachelSwirl January 1, 2023

So here are, it’s a new year and with that, it’s time to turn the page and look at 2023 as an opportunity to start afresh. Whilst 2022 started fairly well, it soon became an incredibly difficult and emotionally draining year for our family. Still, we achieved a fair amount during that time, and whilst it wasn’t easy, I’m proud of our achievements. With 2023’s arrival I felt it was the right time to write a new list and make new plans for our future together as a family. So without further ado, here are my targets for 2023. Repaint…
