#LittleLoves – December 2019

#LittleLoves – December 2019

Christmas is always crazy in this house, it’s a manic month filled with none-stop preparation for the big day. Once Christmas is done and dusted we are finally able to relax in a seasonal slump, which is usually when the days begin to merge into one and other and I lose track of the time, day, date and year…

So before I delve into yet another tub of Treeselets whilst watching the television, here are a few of my #LitteLoves from the past month.

Earlier this month I put together a box of Christmas books which has since taken pride of place in my daughter’s bedroom.…

#LittleLoves – November 2019

Excuse the rather late post, I’ve had an emotionally demanding day followed by a much-needed night out with my bestie thus have been somewhat occupied. However, I am now home, have had a hot bath and am curled up in my pj’s with my Macbook ready to write this months #LittleLoves. So – without further ado, here a few of my highlights from November.

I had seen and added ‘The Little Book of Hygge‘ to my Amazon wishlist many moons ago but wasn’t willing to part for £9.99 for the pleasure. Whilst at work, I had the chance to peruse a ‘Children In Need’ charity book sale and came across what appeared to a brand new copy of the book for only 50p!…

#LittleLoves – October 2019

I’m not sure whether it’s just me but October has felt like a really lengthy month. Saying that we’ve done a fair amount throughout the month and to celebrate the highs (we’ll leave the lows as to be truthful there’s been far too many of those) here are a few of my #LittleLoves from October.

I haven’t read an awful lot this year, I simply haven’t had the time nor the inclination to sit back with a book. This month, however, I came across Sophie Kinsella’s ‘Surprise Me’ and being a chick-lit fan I knew that it would be right up my street.…

#LittleLoves – September 2019

September feels like it has been a long, long month. Yet looking back, I don’t feel as if I’ve done an awful lot other than work and get as much as humanly possible done around the house over the weekends. September seems to have completely and utterly exhausted me, here’s hoping that I find my energy and mojo come October! Until then, here’s a few of my #LittleLoves throughout September.

I’ve barely had the time to pick up a book, never mind to read one! I have however spent time reading copious amounts of information regarding the transition to secondary school, as low and behold, it’s time to apply to secondary school for our little man.…

#LittleLoves – August 2019

August has certainly flown by, it’s been busy, busy, busy in our household with holidays, birthdays, celebrations, meals out, trips away and family visits. We’ve not really had much time to stop, that’s kind of how I like it though! Here’s some of my #LittleLoves from the past month…

Forgive me for I have sinned, I haven’t read a single book this month. I’ve flicked through plenty of magazines, blog articles and such-like, but haven’t picked up a book as I’ve just been way too busy!

I have however been reading books to the children before bed; J is currently reading David Walliams ‘Gangsta Granny’ whilst E is reading the first book from Pip Bird’s ‘The Naughtiest Unicorn’ series.…
