Plans For Half Term

by RachelSwirl March 26, 2019
plans for half term

It’s been a none-stop till you drop kind of day, yet for once I don’t really feel all that tired. I’m sure that come tomorrow morning, when the alarm clock kicks in, I’ll wonder which planet I reside upon and wish I’d gone to bed earlier. Until then however, I feel fairly energised which I’m guessing is partly down to the lighter nights and the idea of two weeks holiday just around the corner. We have all sorts of plans for the half term; with it being Paul’s birthday and almost Easter we’re hoping to get away for a few …

Have An Egg-cellent Easter!

Have An Egg-cellent Easter!

Easter is upon us and unlike most parents who’ve no doubt gone the extra mile to make Easter egg-stra special for the little ones, I feel that I’ve done next to nothing. I’ve seen pictures of parents baking, crafting, organising egg hunts and all kinds of marvellous malarkey and I really ought to get my bunny ears out and get cracking with the Easter shizz but I seem to be lacking motivation. We’ve got enough mini eggs under this roof to sink a small ship, so earlier today E and I made a start upon Easter by throwing together a …

#LittleLoves - Easter Egg Hunts, Car Share & Crafts

Good Friday has arrived in a flash, the Easter holidays are already whizzing by and the kids have been kept busy hunting for eggs, making cards, baking, playing games and having days out with family and friends. It’s been a busy week with one thing or another and despite the kids being home from School and Nursery Paul and I have continued to work with a few alterations to our hours here and there. Here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the past seven days which I have mostly spent enjoying time with the children without the worry of school …

Cracking Alternative Easter Gifts With HMV

Cracking Alternative Easter Gifts With HMV

I don’t know about you but there is only so much chocolate that I can stomach. Whilst I love Easter and the sweet treats that it brings to our household I am all too aware of my ever-expanding waist line and try my very hardest to stay clear of the calories. Each year the children are sent piles of chocolate eggs from well-meaning family and friends all of which are currently hidden on top of our wardrobes in Paul’s suitcase  awaiting the Easter weekend. I have no problem with allowing chocolate into my children’s diet but I am very conscious that each and every mouthful of …

Losing Time & Springing Forward

by RachelSwirl March 27, 2016
Losing Time & Springing Forward

Just a quick reminder for you all, the clocks ‘Spring forward’ an hour tonight (well technically tomorrow morning at 1am precisely but you know what I mean). This means two things … Firstly, lighter nights or in other words, having to convince your kids that it is time to go to bed despite it still being light outside. Secondly, we will get one less hour in bed as time magically skips forward an hour. Whilst I love the idea of summer nights, realistically it means that bedtime will seem like hell on earth for a week or so whilst our little …
